So Christie dropping out paves way to Haley to potentially win New Hampshire now. There are rumors that dope from Florida might follow suit after he gets blown out next week. 

We might have a legit race on our hands folks. I wonder if Trump would have the balls to debate Haley one on one...

i doubt haley will win nh. this is trump's to lose.

imagine desantis having go to back to florida and be governor again. he has been an absentee for months.

It sounded like he was egging Haley on to disavow trump. He sounds more like he may endorse Biden than anyone else.

Yep.

That ain’t happening. Chris wants a future in politics unless he plans on being a pundit. It’s either grovelling for a POOTWH Administration job or running for Mendez’s seat in the senate, of which requires the POOTWH base. It’s that or writing wills, closing real estate transactions and arguing in divorce court in Joisey. That’s death warmed over after working in the White House.

Lol. Jesus Christ.

He is not endorsing Biden either. Although it sounds like he's a whole lot closer to that than endorsing Trump. 

You were wrong. Face it.

Had he ultimately wanted Trump to win he would have stayed in the race. He did the right thing, whether you are man enough to admit or not. 

Hell of a ringing endorsement there Chris. Nice way to "support" POOTWH. You can be fooled by Chris, that's fine. He's not honest nor a "straight shooter" and will jump at the opportunity to serve POOTWH. A lot of time between now and January 20th, 2025 for him to grovel and kiss the ring. Audition #1:

Moments before ending his 2024 presidential campaign at a New Hampshire town hall, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie was caught on a hot mic saying GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley will “get smoked” in the primary race.

Christie was speaking about how much he and other Republican candidates, including Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, have spent on advertisements during the 2024 campaign cycle.

“She spent $68 million so far,” Christie said. “And we spent 12. I mean, who’s punching above their weight and who’s getting a return on their investment?”

“She’s going to get smoked, you and I both know,” he added. “She’s not up to this.”

Christie, 61, also said that a “petrified” DeSantis had called him, but the audio cut before he could finish that comment.

Christie, a former U.S. attorney who served as governor of New Jersey from 2010 to 2018, did not immediately endorse any of his former competitors upon leaving the race Wednesday. He has been the leading critic of former president Donald Trump on the campaign trail and, during a town hall on Tuesday, said that he would happily get out of the way “for somebody if they actually were going against Donald Trump.”

“I’ve said from the beginning that if I didn’t see a path to winning, that I would get out,” he said Tuesday.

Shortly after the Christie hot mic moment went viral online, DeSantis posted about Christie’s comments on social media.

“I agree with Christie that Nikki Haley is ‘going to get smoked,’ ” DeSantis wrote. However, he made no reference to Christie’s description of him as “petrified.”

Earlier Wednesday, before Christie suspended his campaign, DeSantis had called the former New Jersey governor and expressed gratitude for his role in the race, according to a person familiar with the call who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation. The person said Christie also ridiculed Haley to DeSantis during that phone call, a detail first reported by NBC News.

This was Christie’s second campaign for the presidency after he unsuccessfully sought the GOP nomination in 2016. After dropping out of the race that year, Christie swiftly endorsed Trump, despite the two men trading bitter attacks through the primary, and later was named head of Trump’s transition team.

Christie, however, would eventually become one of Trump’s most vocal Republican critics — calling him “a failure on policy and a failure on character” — and said his focus in this year’s race was to prevent Trump from holding office again. Christie clashed with other GOP opponents for not being willing to criticize Trump directly because they knew it was politically inconvenient.

“Maybe it’s because they have future aspirations. Maybe those future aspirations are now or maybe they’re four years from now,” Christie said at the fourth Republican presidential primary debate last month. “But the fact of the matter is, the truth needs to be told. … [Trump] is unfit to be president.”

Christie has largely focused his attacks on Trump during the previous GOP debates and avoided criticizing Haley directly on stage. He did come to Haley’s defense at the most recent GOP debate, after entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy belittled Haley’s time in the Trump administration as a “cup-of-coffee stint at the U.N.”

“Look, if you want to disagree on issues, that’s fine,” Christie said. “And Nikki and I disagree on some issues, but I’ll tell you this: I’ve known her for 12 years, which is longer than [Ramaswamy] even started to vote in the Republican primary. And while we disagree about some issues … we don’t disagree on this. This is a smart, accomplished woman.”

So...what? She likely will get smoked. Guy is being honest. He basically said the same thing at his speech shortly thereafter. At least someone now has somewhat of a chance against Trump as a result of him dropping out.

You keep flailing with this issue and it is sad. If he wanted to support whoever pootwhah is (assuming Trump) he would've stayed in the race to cipher votes away from someone who had a better chance. lol

I’m not sure how much of a shot any Republican contender other than Trump actually has at becoming the Republican nominee, assuming that Trump hasn’t been ruled ineligible (something I don’t think is likely when Trump’s strategy is to delay and the DOJ will be more and more apprehensive about acting as the election draws nearer). Once all of that is settled, it seems pretty damn obvious that Christie’s anti-Trump rhetoric, and Trump being a very small man, will give Christie exactly zero opportunity to work with Trump moving forward. To think otherwise betrays everything we know about Trump.

Trump is most likely going to win. No doubt about it.

But suggesting Christie dropping out is a way to support Trump is downright foolish and a gross miscalculation of what is actually happening. He dropped out to give Haley a shot. She can win New Hampshire, after that, who knows. Maybe Desantis drops out next week and her odds improve a little further.

No disagreement there. I’m with you that Christie’s actions clearly suggest a desire to avoid Trump in office.
