President-elect Donald Trump has asked his running mate, Mike Pence, to take over the transition team efforts from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, ABC News has confirmed. The announcement, which was initially reported by The New York Times, comes amid speculation over whether members of Trump's inner circle will tapped for cabinet positions. "I am proud to have run the pre-election phase of the transition team along with a thoroughly professional and dedicated team of people," Christie said in a statement. "As we now enter the post-election phase, I look forward to working with Vice-President Elect Pence and the rest of the leadership team to implement that template as we prepare for January 20, 2017," he said. Along with Christie, who was named a vice chair of the transition, the five others announced with that title are all well-known Trump surrogates: Dr. Ben Carson, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Jeff Sessions. A statement from the Trump campaign also announced that a number of Trump's family members and other longtime supporters have been named to the transition team executive committee, including Donald Trump Jr., Eric, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner. RNC chairman Reince Priebus, Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon, tech billionaire Peter Thiel, and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi were also on the list. Sen. Jeff Sessions and Gen. Keith Kellogg will also have expanded roles in the transition efforts as well, sources said. Today's announcement comes after Pence was with Trump when he met with President Obama in the White House. Pence met with Vice President Joe Biden. From there, Trump and Pence met with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Capitol Hill. "Mike’s presence in the meeting... is an indication of the role Mike will play," an aide said immediately following their trip to Capitol Hill. "I think you will see Mike having a very active role as a liaison on Capitol Hill with both Leader McConnell and with Speaker Ryan." Poster Comment: Rumor has it that there was a disagreement over Christie wanting to hire #NeverTrump people, so he got fired.

Good. Pence is the elected Vice President. If something happens to Trump, Pence will need to be ready to take over. Trump should give Pence lots of authority, and then rely heavily on Pence for political assistance.
IMHO,the only positions Christie should ever be considered for are door stop or speed bump.
BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! 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.
Given Trumps history as a businessman,chances are he will treat Pence more like his second in command/senior assistant than a VP. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! 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?

Yeah, I expect Pence will be the COO to Trump's CEO. Trump has only been a businessman, all his life, Wharton School. He's the first true lifelong businessman we've ever had at the helm. I think it will go better than expected.
I think it would be a real challenge for him (Trump) to do worse than most people expect. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

That's a good point. I mean, isn't he already negotiating for the cattle cars and ovens?
Rumors? Speulation? Disinformation? On the Internet?
If they really do believe that's what he's going to do, why not give them what they expect?
Sure. As long as Pence isn't able to convince Trump that the best way to get legislation passed is to compromise. For the next 4-8 years, "compromise" should be defined as "the way Obama passed Obamacare".
But he's so fat you couldn't get in the door if he were a doorstop. Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
That's a good point. I mean, isn't he already negotiating for the cattle cars and ovens? Did you happen to see Michael Moore on tv after the election? He looked like he was going to cry,while whining about all "De sufferin de poor peep-pulls will be doing". Shithead has a vacation house on a lake that is worth more than a million bucks,and he doesn't even live there more than a few weeks a year,and here he is trying to pretend he cares about ghetto rats. I'd be willing to bet money that if someone chartered a small bus and delivered him a busload of homies to keep him company at his lake front house he would have a stroke. I'd also be willing to bet he takes every tax advantage possible to him,and even fudges and tries to claim some that are questionable. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW!

Because this is America? BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

But he's so fat you couldn't get in the door if he were a doorstop. I didn't say a doorstop for MY door. Maybe for someone in alligator country? BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW!
