Independence Day weekend’s here – time to show a little patriotism. Budweiser beer just renamed itself “America,” for heaven’s sake. If a Belgian brewing company can do that, the least you can do is show you’re a well-educated citizen. Let’s see whether you’ve been keeping up with the presidential race:

1. Since endorsing Donald Trump for president, Chris Christie

A. Tracked down the man he once chased down the boardwalk while waving an ice cream cone and apologized.

B. Got the support of a full 18 percent of New Jersey voters on whether Trump should pick Christie as his running mate.

C. Told reporters he does not want to be the vice-presidential nominee because “really, my life is ruined already.”
