Asked which of his GOP presidential rivals he'd have on his team if he were president, John Kasich turned to another governor, saying he’d consider Chris Christie for a Cabinet spot.

“I like Chris Christie a whole lot,” Kasich said during a CNN town hall Thursday night. “He’s somebody that was a candidate that would be considered.”


Christie, notably, is actually no longer a presidential rival since he suspended his campaign last week.

Kasich apparently was in full recruitment mode throughout the evening: He solicited resumes and extended job offers to multiple audience members as well.
