Chris Christie Election 2016

It’s (Almost) Official. Christie is Running for President.

Certainly this is the healthy thing to do (though natural weight loss through diet and exercise is better), but I’ve long predicted that if Christie suddenly begins to lose a bunch of weight, he’s going to run for president. He’d otherwise be physically incapable of enduring the strain for two-plus years.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie secretly underwent lap-band stomach surgery to aggressively slim down for the sake of his wife and kids, he revealed to The Post last night.

The Garden State governor agreed to the operation at the urging of family and friends after turning 50 last September.

He told The Post he was thinking of his four kids and how it was time to start improving his health when he decided to have the procedure.
