New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says he doesn’t have any intention to run for president, but let’s assume a Republican wins anyway. Here’s the new commander-in-chief’s first move: tap Christie as his (or her) secretary of education – the vid below says it all. The same video also relates on a local level, just substitute […]
