Christie uses wife as excuse for not joining Trump Administration

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie turned down several jobs in the Trump administration because his wife refused to move to Washington, the governor said Wednesday.

Speaking on New York radio station WFAN's "Boomer and Carton" program, Christie said that influenced his decision on accepting any of the positions offered by Republican President-elect Donald Trump.

"He didn't offer me a job that I thought was exciting enough for me to leave the governorship and my family," Christie said. "Because Mary Pat made really clear she wasn't coming to D.C."

The Republican governor said he would have made at least a two-year commitment to be there.

Two of the couple's four children live at home and are in high school.

Christie is in the final full year of his second and last term as governor.

Trump on Monday told The Wall Street Journal, "at some point, we're going to do something with Chris."

1. As if he would ever put his wife's wishes above his own ambitions and ego.

You are fooling NO ONE with that lame excuse. Trump dropped you like a hot rock. Suck on that.

2. Wasn't the fat ass running for president?

Would Mary Pat not have gone to DC if the Joker had been elected?
What a joke this fat bastard is
Wait till his buddies are sentenced shortly for their part in Bridgegate, I feel someone will be wheeling and dealing

3. he is saying it would be worth it if he was offered something better. so my guess is he was offered

something that might be considered below level for a Governor.

4. Well, exactly.

If his wife doesn't want to live in DC, why was he running for president?
