Chris Christie: 93 percent of Melania’s speech was different from Michelle’s

In an exclusive live interview on TODAY, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie dismisses claims that Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican Convention Monday night was plagiarized from a 2008 speech by Michelle Obama, saying “that sounded like her to me last night.” Regarding his GOP convention speech Tuesday night, he says, “I’m going to make a case tonight that Donald Trump is ready to be president of the United States, and perhaps his opponent is not.” Asked if he would accept a post in a Trump administration, he says, “It would depend on what was offered.”

The majority of bridge lanes in New Jersey were left open.

What about all of the times I don't beat my wife?

93% of my cabinet are not in prison.

Christie's term as US Attorney involved Christie using the office to promote Christie and not doing good legal work. These comments show how little Christie knows about the legal standards for copyright infringement

He must be under the illusion that he is getting a cabinet position if Trump wins. Sorry big guy, not happening.

Now, if he could leave my state immediately, we'd appreciate it.

The worst part about it is that the interviewers didn't call him out on it. 93% of it was hers, so it's okay to steal the other 7%? If a Democrat had done something like that, Mutt Lauer and his airhead co-host would be all over them.

If MO had ripped two paragraphs from Laura Bush, she would have been absolutely eviscerated.
