Though Rick Perry’s lack of campaign dollars received the most attention this week, whispers are now circulating of a possible second GOP candidate giving serious consideration to dropping out of the race by the end of this month – New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
Paul took the position the government’s surveillance powers were significantly over-extended while Christie implied the senator’s views were dangerously ignorant and little more than “hot air.” Days after the confrontation between the two men it appears more voters are taking Senator Paul’s position over Christie’s as the New Jersey governor’s poll numbers continue to be stuck between 2 and 3 percent approval in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Senator Paul’s numbers have increased slightly or stayed the same in both states following his debate performance.
Christie is said to be preparing a final designated push in both of those states in the coming days and if that fails to improve his standing, he will most likely bow out by the end of the month.
Christie’s hugging Obama to get funds for the hurricane damage did him in. It took him 3 years to realize it.
Perry is a non-starter, so was Christie.
Graham, Pataki, and Gilmore(?) were also non-starters, but that’s not why they’re in.
They are in to split their state’s vote to lessen the impact of a Bush loss, to prevent anyone else from getting delegates, whether winner-take-all or a proportional state. They will then release their delegates to BUSH later on down the road.
This could indicate, btw, that Christie has left the Bush reservation.
OK, I’m in. I say Linda Grahamnesty drops out first.
Interesting thought!
Christie knows when to fold. He doesn't like to lose but dropping out is better than hanging around only to be humiliated.
Of course, the rest of your post is spot-on.
I’d bet on Christie going with new jersey pal trump. Makes too much sense.
The huge number of candidates indicates how much cheating help they think they’ll need to push Bush over the delegate finish line.
Even his own people don’t have faith in him, and the establishment knows that the base is really riled up about their betrayals.
no 11 was reorganization and once done, he sold the casinos off and walked away. You don’t become a billionaire by sticking around a dead city.
Which candidate will benefit from Christie dropping out? Will the Cristie supporters be divided evenly among the RINOs staying on or will Jeb Bush get all 7 of them?
B) You apparently believe lifelong LIBERAL Donald Trump will deport ILLEGAL aliens. I don't.
No candidate will deport all ILLEGAL aliens, that includes lifelong LIBERAL Donald Trump. I know what he has said, but he is a liberal and cannot be trusted.
I've followed Trump closely. And he is so sincere and authentic in his speech, that I do not care if he is imperfect. I know where he stands and what he'll do, and that is more than what I can say about the others.

Trump has been attacked, vilified, and has his business and future threatened because of his stance. When he says he'll deport illegals, I believe him. The others treat the word "deport" like how Dracula treats the cross.
No candidate will deport all ILLEGAL aliens
IOW, you confess that all the other candidates are either lying or are going to grant a large portion of the 40 million illegals legal status after poking our eyes by 'securing the border" with their fancy drones or "better infrastructure." This act will provide 40 million new Democratic voters in the near future, and guarantees a huge population that will go straight on the dole. In California, they've admitted that 80 percent of illegals live in extreme poverty. You're literally giving me no reason to vote for any of them because your sales pitch is: "Trump is going to poke our eyes and lie to us just like all the other candidates!"
I have followed him closely also and his record doesn't even approach "imperfect", it is horrendous. He is a LIFELONG LIBERAL. And your saying you believe him proves one thing, that you are one of the gullible "conservatives" who believe a LIBERAL's campaign rhetoric.

And again you are putting your faith in a lifelong liberal. Name one other liberal that you trust. There are none. Yet you trust Trump. lol!

The above rant is meaningless. All that matters in this discussion is that you are gullible enough to believe a LIFELONG LIBERAL's campaign rhetoric during an election cycle.
If Anthony Weiner were running and said he would deport all ILLEGALS, would you believe him too? Employing your "logic" you would.
Still has at least a golf course there. I did a lil research and yep, he wisely got out of deadwood gulch. Atlantic City is done for.
After you basically declare that all the candidates are going to screw us on immigration, you're coming after Trump as a "life long liberal"? You need to take a step back and a deep breath.
If Anthony Weiner were running and said he would deport all ILLEGALS, would you believe him too? Employing your "logic" you would.
If Anthony Weiner suddenly became conservative and declared his opposition to illegal aliens, if he didn't cave under pressure and spoke the truth boldly, I'd think about forgiving him for his penis pictures if he was the only candidate in the race talking about deportation. Illegal immigration is the new litmus test. If you're not right on that, then drop dead Commie.
I made no such claim. I'm a realist and know no candidate is going to deport all ILLEGALS. Certainly not your liberal hero Donald Trump.

You have just proved my point, that you are indeed gullible enough to believe and support a liberal who says things you want to hear during an election cycle.
And "commie"? lol! Sure thing n00b. My conservative bona fides were well-established in this forum over a decade before you even knew it existed. But by all means, continue with the name calling, but it won't change the FACT that your lying liberal hero is just that, a lying liberal.
Let's review, shall we? You have proven you are gullible and will support any liberal who says what you want to hear during an election cycle, even Anthony Weiner.
You attack the only true conservative in the race Ted Cruz.
You attack and call "commie" a true conservative who, unlike you isn't gullible enough to support a lying liberal for the Republican nomination.
btw...name calling doesn't make your point, it only makes you look desperate and foolish, and it won't make your liberal hero any less liberal.
““Seriously Considering” Dropping Out Of Race By End Of August… “
Isn’t the end of August when Dunkin Donuts has their 2 for 1 sale?
You out yourself as a RINO with your "I'm a realist crap!" You're just making excuses for your candidate who refuses to enforce the law. That's all I need to know about you right there.
I cannot be a "RINO" because I am not a Republican. I was for 30+ years prior to 2007; big government and pro-amnesty George Bush changed that and I registered as an independent.
You're just making excuses for your candidate who refuses to enforce the law. That's all I need to know about you right there.
I support the same candidate as does the owner of this forum. If that's not to your liking, tough.
He was running?
Praise the Lord! Best news I’ve heard all day.
Too bad Jeb can’t (won’t) follow suit.
