-- President-elect Donald Trumpoffered Gov. Chris Christienumerous positions in his incoming administration, but the New Jersey governor turned them down, two sources with knowledge of Trump's transition efforts told NJ Advance Media.
The sources said those jobs included Cabinet-level posts like Homeland Security secretary and Veterans Affairs secretary, as well as other posts, like a White House advisory role and U.S. ambassador to Italy.
But the sources notedChristie, a longtime Trump friend and adviser, was notofferedthe role of U.S. attorney general -- a post the governor reportedly coveted.

Andsources confirmed earlier this weekthat Christie would not assume another job he lobbied for: chairman of the Republican National Committee. The sources requested anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
Thus, despite months of speculation over where Christie might land in Trump's White House, it appears likely the governor will indeedremain inNew Jersey to finish out his second and final term, which ends in January 2018

sources said Christie did not consider any of the posts he was offered to be a good fit for him.
The revelations come amid questions over why Christie and New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- two of Trump's most loyal allies throughout his campaign -- did not receive the jobs they were hoping for as Trump prepares to assume the Oval Office. Trump, a celebrity real estate mogul,has repeatedly said loyalty is paramount to him.
But while Giuliani was seeking to become U.S. secretary of state, Trump released a statement Friday saying the mayor had withdrawn his name for consideration

Chris here folks, no ,it's a no go ,to put it in blunt talk ,it's a bummer, . It's one thing to be thrown under the bus but it is a very different kind of a thing when you are handed little ride along tokens knowing you will be under the bus sooner or later.

Furthermore let me just say, just before the bridge ordeal it looked like I had it all going for me but than the boomerang effect took hold.
Anything can happen although I wouldn't wish it upon the Donald. On second thought maybe I would.Sometimes events in history seem to go hand in hand .

1. Hmm, so much for the idea Trump didn't want to appoint Christie because of Christie's legal trouble

more evidence for the Trump is an idiot-asshole file.

6. Actually, not more evidence Trump wanted him....it is less evidence.

Because....
Rudy said almost exactly the same thing as Christie.....that he did not get the job he wanted so turned down other jobs offered because they would not be a good fit, and he wanted to really really really work in the private sector.
However, that statement was released by the trump camp first, then later by Giuliani .
Can anyone who even knows Rudy in passing, believe he wants to get off the national stage???

In truth, neither of the guys got what they wanted, and seeing how Donald treated Christie post campaign, it is not a surprise.
So as many politicians do when they fail, they re-state the situation in the best light, to avoid being seen as a failure, which is the kiss of death in politics,

12. Trump thought Christie would make a good door man

at Trump tower ,but the cost of having Christie fitted for his uniform may have been slightly too steep !

4. Christie smells a rat

Bettin' Christie took a whiff of the upcoming STFU Donnie administration and realized the pending disaster wouldn't be a good fit for him. You know what would be a nice fit? Some black and white striped prison garb.

10. he waffled a bit on "official ass kisser"

but finally had to pass.

the orange jerk told him to change his brand of chapstick.

but christie, always a man of conviction, told him flat out, "maybe!"

but that wasn't good enough for the psychotic prez.

so graciously, crispy bowed out.
