...good news.........Christie out as head of transition team...........I don't think it's a coincidence that a day after Levin warned publicly that Christie was courting ex Bushies and Romnies, Christie gets put back in his place...........someone got to Trump and he LISTENED..........Christie is a loud mouth FRAUD....not conservative....... totally self centered..... big as a house AGAIN years after getting his stomach stapled......and a Bush appointee................send him packing. Hopefully this means Pence can veto some contenders prior to Trump's final choice.....transition team head is a critical position............I think in much better hands now......if my take is right.........I feel a lot better now about this.
