New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expressing interest in becoming chairman of the Republican National Committee.

On Thursday morning, Christie told senior members of Donald Trump’s presidential transition team that he is interested in the post, according to three sources familiar with the talks.

The governor, a longtime supporter of Trump, has lately had a rocky relationship with the president-elect’s transition team. Christie had been overseeing the transition but was booted from the post last month in favor of Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

Christie’s prospects for a job in the Trump administration have dimmed in recent weeks. Yet he has downplayed interest in a position, saying that he intends to serve out the remainder of his term as governor, which expires in January 2018.

1. What????

He just will not go away!

2. They will give him nothing.

After all, he prosecuted Kushner's Dad. I think they have been waiting a long time for their revenge.

3. Excellent. He can run the thing from prison.

[George II]

4. "longtime supporter of Trump"? He was running AGAINST him for about 8 months, and....

...insulted him through most of those months.

What constitutes "longtime" in Politico's eyes?

5. Haha

I have to laugh. He must be getting desperate for any bone.

6. He would make a bigger impression if he threw his butt into the ring.

He could block a lane of traffic with that butt.

7. I assume he will be strongly considered, not in spite of Bridgegate, but because of it.

Just like they love the idea of giving a job to David Petraeus.

The GOP loves to point out how they can get away with anything because they are the conservatives.

The worst example of this is they way that George W. Bush gave a top job to John Poindexter, the worst offender of all during Iran-Contra, after 9-11.

8. If I embarrassed myself this much

you can be pretty sure that my wife and kids would make it very clear to me that I was humiliating myself and that I should/must just stop. First off, all three are smarter than I am (they really are, but they don't need to point it out so much). And, second, they are not yes people. If I'm fucking up, they say so. I swear, they would all divorce me if I had humiliated myself as much as Christie has over the past few years.
