Trump campaign vetting Chris Christie for VP
The Birmingham News ^ | June 30, 2016 | Leada Gore

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is being vetted by Donald Trump's campaign as a possible vice presidential running mate, according to reports.

The New York Times and other media sources are reporting the campaign has sent official paperwork to Christie to start the vetting process. The reports are one of the first solid indications of who Trump, a businessman-turned-politician, might want on his ticket.

Other names that have been mentioned include Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and South Dakota Sen. John Thune. Other names – including former Trump's former challengers Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Ted Cruz – were also on the reported short list....

The VP needs to qualify if needed as President. Remember your opinion regarding Obama, it applies to Cruz as well.

Still notice your date. And with TPA, Coker and NAU plus countless lies, Cruz should be nowhere near the WH. Enough of first term senators with globalist ideas. Hopefully trump has far better choices in mind.

Whomever it is....as long as it doesn't take away a Repub senate seat. Have to be careful. If we lose the Senate...we've lost it all.

Hey, don't worry! Mitch has our back! He said so!

Madness ...

Probably what happened was, Trump asked for the vetting papers, and the idiots in the media said "Oooh! Oooh! Christie's a Veep pick! That's our story!"

When in reality, he may be in line for AG.

I am aware is that what changed your mind? How do you justify lies, TPA, Coker and his globalist ideas? Again I hope and pray Trump doesn’t choose anyone so untrustworthy as Cruz I don’t want someone so like Obama- thin skinned and dishonest as VP.

BTW I contributed as much as my retirement allowed to Cruz senate campaign as well as his Presidential campaign early in 2015 and actually admired him. I will do a lot more research on any further candidate I support and not just listen to what they say.

While I regret my contributions, I respect your right to your opinion. I hope you will have the same staunch support for the Republican nominee.
