UPDATE: Had to add this.
Meanwhile, the Asbury Park Press, Bridgewater Courier News, East Brunswick Home News, Morristown Daily Record, Cherry Hill Courier Post and Vineland Daily Journal have all called for Christie’s resignation:
For starters: Now that he has abandoned his presidential campaign, will he work full time on New Jersey business? How could he endorse someone for president who disagrees with him on virtually every important issue? Was his trip to Texas to endorse Trump and his campaigning on his behalf the following day in Arkansas and Tennessee a harbinger of more out-of-state stumping for him in the future? (A question answered by his subsequent trips to Ohio and Kentucky on Trump’s behalf.) Will New Jersey continue to be billed for his security and other expenses on these trips? If so, how does he justify that? Last year, he spent 261 full or partial days out of New Jersey. Now that he is no longer running for president, what percentage of his time does he expect to spend in New Jersey on New Jersey business this year?
It has been obvious for at least two years that Christie has put personal ambition ahead of the interests of New Jersey citizens. Sadly, members of his own party have displayed no backbone in trying to rein him in. When he has said “jump,” they have responded, in unison, “how high?” And the Democratic Party’s weak leadership has failed to fill the power vacuum. Christie has taken his hands off the rudder, and no one has rushed forward to help steer the boat.
New Jersey needs someone whose full attention is devoted to making life better for New Jersey’s citizens. That won’t happen until Christie steps down or is forced out.

Let’s give Christy a little slack here.
This fat bastard is out of a job in 10 months.
And he needs to eat.
Boy does he need to eat.
Trump will feed him quite well if he plays his political cards right.
That expression on Christie’s face is astonishingly revealing.
I think it’s clear that The Donald has a shitload of dirt on Chris, and Porky’s deathly afraid that some of it might come out.
He will be safely in Trump’s pocket for quite a while.
I never want Imho to cut me slack.
