Christie has become such an also-ran that the Associated Press and the New York Times recently reassigned reporters dedicated to covering Christie

“We’re all living in Trump world,” said Kean. “And Trump world is something none of these political gurus or any of these guys conceived of when they [started] running their campaigns.”

Trump has sucked the oxygen out of the GOPe nomination process AND has already established the national election agenda, namely, illegal immigration. This is the first time in decades that a Republican has set the national agenda rather than simply being on the defensive.

Walker's and Rubio's continuous flip-flopping on illegal immigration have effectively taken them out of the race, and Christie has turned Cheshire Cat, slowly fading from view.

The deck is rapidly being cleared for the real men to fight it out.

Get real, media.

Trump isn’t holding Christie down,
Christie is holding Christie down.

Kristi Kreme holds himself down. Huggin’ Obarry was his undoing and point of no return. Go fix NJ Chris and focus on that monumental task.

“Christie is holding Christie down.”

And Christie’s weight is also “holding him down!”

Hard to believe that anything can hold Krispy Kreme down in that shape. =)

Somehow, NOT the picture I’d have envisioned for the DoughBoy - even in darkness. The same goes for descriptors such as “withering, emaciated, reduced, deficient, deminished and so on”.

Christie made some big mistakes...

the bridge fiasco...and those little lies.

The Obama love fest

The lowering of the flag for a druggie...Shamefully. Her daughter has paid the price.

For me, it’s down to Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump.

There are some other candidates I like (Carly, Jindal) but I’m hoping the above two guys run on the same ticket.

Cristie has just one issue- he wants to take away the old teacher’s pensions and that’s a local issue.

When Trump had the 2500 participant townhall in NH earlier this week, Bush drew about 200 to his. CSPAN (IIRC) brief cut to one Christie was holding outside, looked like a park, with only about 40 attendees sitting on the grass.

Rumor earlier were than Christie would be dropping out by the end of August unless his campaign managed to catch fire. Apparently, they have not had to use the extinguisher yet. Maybe they can get their deposit back.

Rumor, too, that Perry’s campaign is broke and being run by unpaid volunteers.

I just posted in another thread that CNN deserves accolades for their coverage of those heroes. They have spend about half of each hour reporting on that story.

“If you’re doing everything that your campaign consultants and staff say you should be doing and nothing’s working, that’s a real problem,” Kean said. “And nothing’s working.”

Well, what does THAT tell you, GOP-E?

You can that one, Christie holding Christie down, to the bank.
Also the Obama picture killed him.

Ever see a rabbit winged not killed by a car. There it is on the side of the road trying to move but can only go in circles as the rest of the cars go by. Trump winged him and the other 15 are racing by Christie as he goes in circles trying to get traction. Look up Christie, those are not American Eagles flying overhead. You are their dinner.

This is the legacy that Chris Christie will forever live with.

Nothing but an opportunist traitor. Realizing that a combination of superstorm Sandy and Mitt Romney's tepid and joyless campaign would guarantee an Obama re-election, Christie was first in line to throw his arms around Obama and cash in on the tragedy for his own (perceived) political benefit.

Chris Christie is a complete scumbag and he deserves the utter and total defeat that he his currently experiencing.

Christie must have been delusional to have gotten in the race.
