In my last column, I discussed the possibility that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie could become U.S. attorney general if Donald Trump wins the election. After all, he was the first major Republican presidential candidate to endorse Trump. With Christie’s popularity in his home state dropping to historic lows (now below 30 percent) and term limits foreclosing another run for governor, he had to do something to salvage his political ambitions.
Sure, he didn’t get the vice-presidential nomination that he reportedly craved. But shouldn’t he reap some reward for his remarkable public scenes with Trump? In one, Christie appeared to be physically ill—or a hostage. In another, Trump mocked him to get a cheap laugh.
