Discussion: CNN: Christie Aides Expect Him To Drop Out Of The Race

I wonder why he ever dropped into the race. The guy had no chance from the start.

But thanks so much for taking Rubio out of play, Chris.

What time. What took him so long to figure it out?

So far, Big Door has killed Perry, Walker, Jindal and now Christie. Except for Kasich, the man is deadly towards governors.

Heā€™s far to reasonable sounding (emphasis on the word sounding) to be a problem, IMO.

His politics wasnā€™t the problem. He was. He had a Soprano style persona and that shit sells on HBOā€¦no place else. His chances in the South were zeroā€¦and heā€™s made a good choice in avoiding an embarrassing drubbing in SC.

Iā€™ve run into guys from Joisey before and so far every single one of them, when they get challenged, has this volcanic, bullying temper that goes over as well as an invasion of Poland.

For one brief moment he was a hero. His destiny in life was to expose the feckless Rubio. But we still have Trump and Cruz to deal with and there is no one left in the GOP who has the aggression to take them on.

Probably figures he needs the time to put his affairs in order before going to jail.

If he didnā€™t have Bridgegate dogging his heels, heā€™d be a good attack dog Veep choice for most of the non-Trump candidates.

Maybe he thought it might be good to get out of town for a while?

And he also thought if he won the presidency he could pardon himself if convicted. No?

It has been for NJ since he took office. So much damage.

Rubio:
I won, I won, I won, I wonā€¦
I won, I won, I won, I wonā€¦
I won, I won, I won, I wonā€¦

The Robot is wrecked. His work here is done.

There were no moderate Republicans in the race. Kasich is a stealth candidate who made up some distance by deciding to act ā€œreasonable,ā€ and less extremist than the others.

Maybe Reince Priebus will be able to find a sugar daddy to keep Christie in the next debate so he can take down Trump and/or Cruz.

I appreciate his knee capping Rubio, but time for Christie rearrange the traffic cones.

Sinker or floater? I think we all know the answer to that one.
