Chris Christie is one step closer to making the Republican debate stage.

The former New Jersey governor claimed late Wednesday to have reached the 40,000 unique donors required to participate in the Aug. 23 showdown in Milwaukee, Wis.

“Last night, we went past 40,000 unique donors in just 35 days, and it gives you some perspective because I ran eight years ago,” Christie told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “In 35 days, eight years ago, we had 5,000 donors. We have over 40,000 donors now.

“There is a donor in every state in America and we have over 200 donors in 36 states,” the 60-year-old added. “So we have really broad support for the candidacy. We’re really thrilled about it.”

There are Dunkin Donuts all over the United States.

George Soros (not counting family) 6.7 billion dollars net worth estimated.

That can buy any number he needs to do mischief.

Does this mean Trump won’t show up? OR, ……perhaps, does it mean he WILL show up, just to smack Christie down and watch him struggle like a flailing upside-down turtle to get back to his feet?

The Governor is excited that there will be a massive donut buffet beforehand.

This was stage attire for NJ resident Bobby Steele, ex-Misfit and leader of the punk band The Undead. Totally approve.

[napscoordinator]

He is going to avoid the debates. No way will he show up now for sure. He’ll have a rally.

[southernerwithanattitude]

A fool and his money!!!

[Zathras]

The Obamabots have bought their debate weapon.

[DoughtyOne]

Why don’t they just give him every add break. He’d get in
less pot shots at Trump if they did.

[dforest]

Unique? What’s that chubs?

[dforest]

No it will be a Schwab though. Klaus Schwab.

[dragnet2]

Any GOP candidate, except Trump, will beat Biden.

It's the exact opposite....You're batting zero..lol

[Antoninus]

He has one purpose and it’s a kamikaze mission to take out Trump. He won’t even succeed at that. Literally everyone hates him.
