Outgoing New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie believes his path to the presidency would have been a day at the beach if Donald Trump had not run.
“It's incredibly frustrating to think to yourself, ‘Wow, if this guy were not in the race, we'd win this thing,’” Christie said in an NJ.com interview published Sunday. “And I absolutely believe if Trump had not gotten into the race, I think we would have won.”
Christie also claimed he told Trump to stop bringing up the Bridgegate scandal – which he was accused of ordering allies to close down lanes on the George Washington Bridge to punish Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not endorsing his reelection – after he mentioned it during the campaign trail.
“'You know that's not true, so stop, OK? You want to say other stuff about me? Fine. But that's out of bounds. Stop it,’’ the Republican governor recalled telling Trump.
Trump never did it again, he said.

Chris Christie: Trump should have kept me on team

NEWARK — Gov. Chris Christie said Wednesday that his removal as chairman of Donald Trump's presidential transition has proven to be a "big mistake" and that the country has paid for it.
Christie also said he thinks his opposition during the transition to naming retired Army Gen. Michael Flynn the national security adviser was a "significant reason" for his ouster last year, three days after Trump won the presidency in an upset over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
During the same news conference where he was asked about Flynn, Christie extended a dispute with his Democratic successor, Phil Murphy, about the authenticity of a document provided by his transition team concerning non-disclosure agreement.

11 new things we just learned about Chris Christie Posted November 17, 2017 at 06:03 PM Updated No

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/11/10_takeaways_from_christies_big_interview.html#incart_river_index

. Chris Christie gave a one-on-one talk with Politico's Josh Dawsey last week for what the website billed as "an epic exit interview."
The interview was published Friday in Politico Magazine.  
Here are 11 highlights and new things we learned about the governor.


1. Christie thinks there's more to Bridgegate
The George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal shattered Christie's popularity in the state and delivered a big blow to his White House ambitions. Christie has never been directly tied to the scandal and he adamantly denies any involvement.
The admitted mastermind of the scandal, David Wildstein, told jurors it was a political revenge scheme against the mayor of Fort Lee for not endorsing Christie's re-election bid. His testimony helped convict a former top Christie administration official, Bridget Anne Kelly, and the governor's top appointee to the Port Authority, Bill Baroni.
But Christie thinks there's more to the story.
“I don’t even think the true story has ever been told about why it was done,” Christie said. “I don’t buy the fact and I’ve never bought the fact that this was done to penalize the mayor of Fort Lee.”
Christie wouldn't say what he thought happened, telling Politico he doesn't know.
