Christie: I’m Flattered by the 2016 Talk, but I’m ‘Nowhere Near’ Thinking About it


REPORTER: “Do you see what has happened here playing into your decision-making process over the next year or two?”
CHRISTIE: “I have no idea what the decision-making process would even look like at this point. As I’ve said many times before, and I know that everybody in the political media and in the political chattering class wants to start the 2016 race, and universities can't help themselves but do polls that are meaningless three years away from an election, and you guys can't help but put them on the air and talk about them. My job is to be governor of New Jersey. And I'll say what I've said before. I am enormously flattered that folks would talk about me in my party as someone who they think could be a candidate for president. But I am absolutely in nowhere near beginning that consideration process. I haven't even been sworn in for my second term yet. I’ve got work to do here and that's my focus."
