I've always enjoyed watching a fat man get pissed off....red-faced, sweating, beady eyes darting from side to side like a gigantic iguana.
"Christie was livid, right?" the man said at one point. "Yeah," Trump's campaign manager Manafort replied.
Christie has made no secret that he was disappointed he wasn't chosen to be Donald Trump's running mate. "I don't like coming in second. Ever," Christie said Thursday. But the conversation overheard by THE WEEKLY STANDARD Sunday suggests Christie's feelings were far more intense than mere disappointment.
Manafort Confirms Christie Was 'Livid' He Wasn't Picked To Be Trump's VP
He set off internet ridicule on Super Tuesday when he stood behind Mr. Trump, mute and obedient. As they appeared together, Mr. Trump mocked the governor for eating too many Oreos, and for all but moving out of New Jersey as he campaigned for president in New Hampshire.
Mr. Trump appeared to relish poking fun at his effusive booster: “I hated to do it but I had to make my point,” he said, after accusing Mr. Christie of abandoning his state.
Mr. Christie’s staff had to fight back against reports from within the Trump campaign, quoted in The New Yorker, that the governor had fetched food from McDonald’s for Mr. Trump. (On Friday, the New Yorker humor columnist Andy Borowitz further mocked him with a spoof headlined: “Furious Christie Refuses to Pick Up Trump’s Dry Cleaning.”)
In the end, Mr. Trump seemed to all but ignore any loyalty from Mr. Christie, picking Mr. Pence, who had endorsed a former rival to Mr. Trump, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
