Chris Christie pitches for RNC head

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wants the top job of the Republican National Committee (RNC). This is probably the best he's going to get, if he gets it, after two former associates were convicted on "Bridge Gate" involving the illegal closure of lanes entering the George Washington Bridge.

Christie had been the head of the Presidential Transition Team but was ousted in early November. Reince Priebus, left as head of the RNC to become Trump's White House Chief of Staff.

Gov. Christie insisted that he would finish out his term as governor, which ends on January 18, 2018. "For some reason, people think I'm equivocal about this, and I'm not . . . I will continue my term," he told the media.

Then he kind of did a Hillary: "Now, I said this on the radio last week and somebody said it was equivocal, because I said if the president of the United States comes to you and asks you to do something, you don't say no before they ask."
