Trump 'unlikely' to pick Christie, according to sources

TRENTON — It is highly unlikely that Gov. Chris Christie will be Donald Trump's running mate, according to two sources who are advising the Trump campaign and who requested to remain anonymous.

Instead, the sources said that former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is "the likely pick" to be the tycoon's choice for vice president.

The sources, who have been privy to some of the selection process, have insisted on anonymity because they are not authorized to speak for the campaign.

"The people who've been pushing the Christie narrative are Christie people," said one of the sources, who has heard Gingrich is the likely pick. However, "it's Trump — I doubt anyone really fully knows what he's going to do."

1. LMAO Newt Gingrich. LMAO.

He's almost as bad as Trump when it comes to shooting off his mouth.

[calimary]

2. Didn't somebody here already post a joke about it?

Something along the lines of "what has six wives and four legs?"

[Glimmer of Hope]

5. LMAO too but he has just as much ugliness to spew until the election. Ugh!

3. Newt or Dr. Ben

I would say

11. His best bet is Newt.

4. I was going to make a joke but, well, it's already been made - NEWT!

[Doctor Jack]

6. He has virtually no one that will agree to be on the ticket with him

Newt isn't his best option, he may be his only option.

7. Doesn't Christie want to be Trump's Atty General?

My guess is Newt would be a better cheerleader for Trump during the campaigning phase, because he's more desperate at this phase than Christie, and should Trump win (not likely) than Christie would be the AG.

8. Christie prosecuted and imprisoned Ivanka's father-in-law, Charles Kushner.

Christie will NEVER be VP in a Trump administration and I wouldn't count on AG either.

9. Why would Trump care about Kushner? He HATES losers...

[no_hypocrisy]

10. Because Daddy's Little Girl will ask Trump very very nicely not to pick Christie.

12. All that ass-kissing and Christie got nothing out of it.

What a schmuck.

13. I would love to post my prediction of Christie's "position" in the Trump White House

but I wouldn't want to offend anyone.

14. Of course not, he still needs someone to get his orders from McDonald's
