What did NJ Governor Chris Christie have to gain by endorsing and be a horse for Donald Trump?

The State of New Jersey always had a Dislike for Chris Christie! Multiple Newspapers in his Home State are calling for His Resignation! How much did he hurt himself by associating himself with Donald Trump?

I think he is thinking he is going to get to ride on the coat tail of Trump if Trump is elected.

I'm thinking A Position in the Trump Administration. Realistically though as a New Jersey Politician doesn't hurt to play nice with one of the most significant Businessman in New Jersey. I can hear the Jokes Already Though "Squeal like a Pig for Me".

I'm going to say something nice about him; he DID make a BG take a PT test.....two years after it was due, and after he was noted to be well past tape, but he gave him 90 days to knock it out and dude did it.

Either he's the VP nominee or the AG or relegated to the political ash heap.

SPC Andrew Griffin My guess is that he has been offered a position in the potential Trump Administration. Possibly Vice President, but, more likely, Attorney General. I don't think having Christie on the ticket as VP would help Trump, therefore, I do not think that is the case.

Birds of a feather...? I don't think he really gains anything which is what makes this so odd. While I don't like Christie, he's not an idiot. He knows there's not a chance in hell that we would be Trump's VP. The only thing I can think of is if he somehow things he'll be able to finagle a cabinet position somewhere.

Obviously attorney general. If Trump wins I can see him courting Rubio hard for VP, but there is not enough to gain by making Christie the VP.

He is the perfect politician. Listen to George Stephanopoulos embarrass him on all the stuff he said about Donald Trump. It's pathetic

George Stephanopoulos Grills Chris Christie For Ten Minutes Over Donald Trump Endorsement

ABC's George Stephanopoulos hits Chris Christie over and over again with video of him slamming Donald Trump on issue after issue. Christie remains mostly unflapped. CHRIS CHRISTIE: You're the only person you agree with 100 percent of the time, whether it's you or me. So you can -- we can sit here this morning and play the game of everything that -- I ran against the guy, so of course there's things that I disagree with him on. But this is now...

His next job, since the odds that he will be reelected in New Jersey are around zero.

He shot himself in the foot when he had his henchmen close access to the GWB to spite a politician who wouldn't endorse him.
