Chris Christie should step down as the governor of New Jersey or face being forced out of office, a half dozen newspapers in his home state demanded Tuesday night. In a joint editorial, six New Jersey newspapers “fed up” with Christie called on him to vacate his role as the head of the state after his failed presidential bid and “long neglect of the state to pursue his own selfish agenda.” “For the good of the state, it’s time for Christie to do his long-neglected constituents a favor and resign as governor. If he refuses, citizens should initiate a recall effort,” the editorial reads. The Gannett-owned newspapers, which include the Asbury Park Press and the Cherry Hill Courier-Post, said they were “disgusted” with the governor’s endorsement of Donald Trump after he spent months on the campaign trail “trashing” the Republican real estate mogul. “How could he endorse someone for president who disagrees with him on virtually every important issue?” the newspapers wrote. The editorial also bashed Christie as an “embarrassment” and “utter disgrace,” saying the governor spent 261 full or partial days out of New Jersey last year. Christie was sworn in as governor in 2010 and was reelected in 2013. His term expires in December 2017. “It has been obvious for at least two years that Christie has put personal ambition ahead of the interests of New Jersey citizens,” the editorial says. “New Jersey needs someone whose full attention is devoted to making life better for New Jersey’s citizens. That won’t happen until Christie steps down or is forced out.” Christie’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. "If he refuses, citizens should initiate a recall effort"

That's what happens when Governors run for President . That's why they ususally run for the White House early in their 2nd term ;especially if there is a term limit . If he was a Dem in the same situation there would be none of the stink from the compliant press .

Don't worry you will soon be rid of him, looking every bit like a vice- president Christie is backing Dump up litteraly, looking dejected on the Dump platform
not happening . Trump needs to balance the ticket so he won't select another RINO . He also needs to balance it geographically so 2 people on the ticket from states that are going to vote Democrat doesn't cut it . Kasich would be the better option because Ohio always is a swing state . "If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato
when he endorses Dump then maybe he has has a chance, but Dump has to reward loyalty, afterall Christie might be out of a job for endorsing Dump. Dump talks about being a unifier, what better way to show the democrats he has their back
It has also been reported that people in hell would like a glass of ice water.
ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
I think that photo would be more appropriate with Uncle Joe and Fat Boy on the outside of the WH,looking in through a window.
