I happened to see that segment. Heilemann reiterated what he and Halperin wrote in "Double Down". Romney met with Christie in NJ at the governor's mansion. He asked Christie for his endorsement. Christie responded by saying that he wasn't ready to make an endorsement yet. What angered Romney and his staff was that Christie added that he didn't want Romney to campaign in NJ until he gave them permission to do so. Romney left fuming and telling his people that he felt like he had been in an episode from the Sopranos. The word "arrogant" was used by several of them.

Well, what goes around, comes around. Screw over enough people and sooner or later it's going to come back to haunt you. I've seen it happen in the corporate world. Someone who thinks that they are above it all and are nasty, at some point they get their comeuppance.

In Christie's case, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
