Ambition Quote by Ben Domenech

“I think that [Chris] Christie's endorsement is, you know, it's a sign that - you know, he is who we thought he was in so many different respects. He's someone who ambition is the only thing that I think is bigger than his appetite.I think in this case, it's a situation where he saw the one guy who he thinks he can maybe get a cabinet post with if he wins in Donald Trump. I think, you know, he kind of went out the door doing a number of favors in beating up Marco Rubio the way he did.”
