A new Monmouth University poll shows that Governor Chris Christie’s popularity in the Garden State is plummeting, but more importantly, he won’t be any help as a vice-presidential candidate.
“When New Jerseyans are asked who would make a better president – Chris Christie or Hillary Clinton, Clinton gets the nod from 58%, with 32% choosing the Garden State governor.”
While Christie might be of more help in some other blue states that are less intimately familiar with his antics, there’s no evidence that he’s got the kind of moderate or regional cred a more conservative presidential candidate might want from a running mate.
And getting on the ticket is really the name of Christie’s game, because there is no way in hell that he can win the nomination outright and he has no other political future once he completes his second term in Drumthwacket.
