Chris Christie Expected to Formally End Presidential Bid as Early as Today
JOSH MARGOLIN and JORDYN PHELPS,Good Morning America 57 minutes ago
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expected to formally suspend his presidential campaign as early as today after he huddles with his closest advisers, ABC News has learned.
A statement announcing the suspension could come as soon as early this afternoon, according to a source briefed on Christie’s plans.
“We bet the ranch on New Hampshire, and no one ever anticipated the Trump phenomenon,” the source told ABC News. “He’s a realist.”
Christie’s New Hampshire campaign Chairman Wayne MacDonald, who is not involved in today’s deliberations but is familiar with the campaign’s strategy, said that qualifying for the next debate is likely a major factor in the deliberations.
And with the governor’s 6th place finish in New Hampshire, he does not qualify to make the stage.
“It’s just a logical next step,” MacDonald said of the likelihood that the governor will formally drop out of the race.
The news that Christie would likely suspend his campaign following a meeting with advisers today was first reported by CNN.

I would not vote for Christie, but I hoped he would stay in the race long enough for Bush to drop out first. Christie’s voters will probably support Bush over Kasich. Well, at least they probably won’t support Rubio…

Yeah…Christie was better than Rubio and some of the others, IMO.
And have found a site: on Wayne Madsen, along with Info wars that discusses how Rubio might have a problem, with his college activity!
Am waiting to see what one or two people think about posting this…as I don’t want to cause a problem for Orly!
This situation would be devastating for Rubio!
And I liked how Christie nuked Rubio! Him and Cruz are just too young and they (ARE) completely (“INELIGIBLE!”)!!!

This is all about brokering the government entitlement constituencies. Delivering voter blocs. It’s disgusting and why deficit spending will be our downfall. That is why the GOP has always pushed for a balanced budget but the entitlements and special rights have always won the fight. The GOP has had to find a way to survive the bankruptcies but it is impossible. However even so we were still keeping our heads
above water until Pelosi forced the ethanol corruption on traditional GOP voter blocs and shut the economy down. We can’t have an economy as long as the liberals control energy production for political power. They don’t understand apparently that it is vital for our survival not the other way around.

Poster Fossett:
Where does Romney stand on his fellow (R)’s?
And where did you hear this?
Why would they want Romney to do this? Does he favor Trump? or someone else?
Please advise here! Thanks.
