Before Christie was in the running to be Trump’s running mate, he had been considered a top contender for the job of USA attorney general in a Trump administration.

While he’s never publicly said he’d want the job, it’s widely rumored that Christie covets the role.
The headline from Cruz’s speech: he didn’t endorse Donald Trump and he was booed as he walked off the stage.
It features Mike Diehl, who tells the story of how he ran a music store in New Jersey which sold Trump’s Taj Mahal $100,000 in pianos, but Trump repeatedly refused to pay the bill and eventually forced him to accept 70 cents on the dollar.
Discord among delegates was on greater display Monday as aggrieved anti-Trump Republicans protested the adoption of rules aimed at quashing an unlikely effort to block the nomination.
Failed Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson went so far as to associate Clinton with Lucifer. His reputation has sunk in New Jersey, where he has an all-time low approval rating of 26%. Mary Ann Mendoza, whose son was killed by an undocumented immigrant, said “a vote for Hillary is putting all of our children’s lives at risk”.
Christie, whose speech noticeably strayed from the night’s theme of “Make America Work Again”, arrived to the convention as an also-ran after missing out on becoming Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick, something that he admitted “disappointed” him.
After delivering a 60-second opener full of praise of Donald Trump, Christie moved to prosecute a case against Clinton’s “dismal record” as secretary of state. In fact, this election is not about you or me either. Christie said he knew he was “close”, but didn’t think he was going to make the final cut. “That’s right, Hillary Clinton for prison”.
But should Trump be elected, he has vowed to direct his attorney general to investigate Clinton’s email use once again, and has suggested he would urge Clinton’s indictment.
The “lock her up” chants were more than enough proof that the speech was a success, said Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick, R-Union, an honorary delegate and rumored gubernatorial candidate.
Liar. Lock her up.

Christie then began a game of question and answer.
Christie wasn’t the only member of his family who played a part in the convention Tuesday.
His father would protect America’s borders, restore the nation’s worldwide standing, reduce tax burdens, implement healthcare reform other than Obamacare, and improve education for everyone, Trump Jr. said.

Trump, the real estate mogul and reality television star, secured the GOP mantle Tuesday night in a roll call vote that officially brought the outsider into the heart of American politics. Delegates gave him credit for his handling of New Jersey’s pension reform and his support of Trump.
