For years, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno has been a Christie loyalist, never publicly taking a position that differed from that of her boss and deflecting most of political questions to the governor to whom she owes her job.

That changed on Saturday, when Guadagno answered a question on Twitter from an editor at the south Jersey publications The Daily Journal and Courier-Post about her reaction to an explosive video of Donald Trump’s boasting of a cavalier attitude about sexual assault…

For most of the summer and all of this fall, Christie had argued to Republicans on the fence about Trump that they are confronted with a ‘binary choice.’

“Every Republican who is not working for Trump is working for Clinton,” Christie said in July. “It’s chicken or fish, man. It’s one or the other.”
