New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

As he is being vetted, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie knows something we don't because of court-imposed secrecy: whether or not he is an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Bridgegate scandal.

If he is, then the best he can hope for in a Trump Administration is some relatively low-profile Cabinet level appointment, like Commerce or HSS.

But if he is not an alleged co-conspirator, then he would be a kick ass choice for VP by Donald Trump.

He is a deeply experienced executive. More immediately, he is a robust campaigner and in the way he eviscerated Marco Rubio in the GOP Debates, he would similarly crush almost any Democrat VP choice.
