Chris Christie is super bitter about not being Donald Trump’s VP pick

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/07/18/chris-christie-is-super-bitter-about-not-being-donald-trumps-vp-pick/

Chris Christie, as you may have heard, wanted to be Donald Trump's vice-presidential pick. It didn't work out.

Now the New Jersey governor is making very clear just how he feels about being left at the political altar. This from a speech Christie gave to the Michigan delegation at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland: Christie tells MI GOP of Pence: "We don't need a nother big mouth from Congress...What Donald needed was a partner who governed."

Oomph. "Big mouth!" Also, who could Christie be talking about when he says Trump needed "a partner who governed"? It's one of life's great mysteries.

Worth noting: Other reports out of that meeting suggested Christie was more conciliatory. “I am really relieved that Donald Trump picked a governor to be his running mate," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer report.

I think this article misses the mark. He may be bitter but he's not going to trash Pence.
