CHRISTIE SAYS HE'S "READIER" TO BE PRESIDENT DESPITE BRIDGEGATE SCANDAL WHICH MADE HIM FEEL "LIKE I GOT HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A 2X4"
The slow drip of percolating scandals surrounding Christie now seems to be an impediment to what was considered an easy road to the top tier of Republican presidential hopefuls just a few months ago.
Christie aides told The New York Times that an overseas trip planned to boost his foreign policy bona fides was "still to be determined".
Matt Mowers, Christie's man in New Hampshire, the state party leader who previously served on his re-election campaign staff, is himself under subpoena.
And former Republican National Chairman Michael Steele criticized Christie for jetting off to Palm Beach, Florida for a fundraising trial balloon as subpoenas flew out of a majority-Democratic legislative committee in his state capital.
"They dropped 20 subpoenas on him, and so now that's baggage that's going to come into the conversation", he said.
