reported that he will be suspending his campaign. Sources: Indications point to Chris Christie suspending White House bid Now, what to do with the Christie Crime Digest? Hopefully prepare for Volume IV, charting the indictment, trial and sentencing.

1. We can only hope the bridges in NJ remain open for this announcement .. ht

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. No, Chris Christie did not drop out....yet

ABC incorrectly reported that Christie ended his campaign after finishing 6th in New Hampshire

[Laxman]

6. This Report Was Just Issued.....

subsequent to that retraction. I'm stuck in a cheap motel that only has CNN and Fox on the cable and CNN leads off their news with Christie Dropping out.

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Checking.........yep, I see...28 minutes ago

says Washington Times

.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie plans to issue a statement this afternoon that he is suspending his presidential campaign, The Washington Times has learned.

The Christie camp made a decision early on in the campaign to hinge its bets on a strong showing in New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary, hoping that his “tell it like it is” style and record as governor of a blue state would resonate with voters.

Damn, he did us SUCH a good turn with Rubio...

[Laxman]

14. I've Been Waiting....

For two years to use that clip!

17. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Oh Happy Day

[Hortensis]

20. Except, that corrupt, incompetent,

constituent-bullying boor was the most moderately conservative of all the GOP candidates.

The survivors are all strong to ultra- conservative, except for The Loose Flywheel, under whose orange hair alarming fascist whims may coexist without dissonance with amoral megalomania, ruthless laissez-faire behaviors, and occasional moderately liberal ideas -- hard to know and subject to change at any time.

[Laxman]

27. Does The Christie Crime Digest....

Go on? We're close to volume IV. I'm hoping that there will be an indictment, trial & sentencing in his future.

[malaise]

29. You'd better keep it going - it is excellent

You must think seriously about publishing a book - have it ready for the end of the trial - wink wink

[TwilightGardener]

3. Another giant flaming bag of hot gas sinks and crashes in New Jersey.

Oh the humanity!

[longship]

12. Obligatory response.

[TwilightGardener]

13. There you go.

[denbot]

23. Win!

BTW, I am so stealing your LoL!

[Arugula Latte]

25. Oh my gawd ...

[wheniwasincongress]

4. Who will his votes go towards now?

Trump? similar bluster

[rbrnmw]

36. Kasich more likely to gain from both dropouts

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

5. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. nt

[Backwoodsrider]

7. Christie is a performer

He feeds off of other people attention so bet he will try and get on TV one more time. Wonder what he is doing right now back at home; making calls to try and get more funding? Maybe phone calls of thanks for trashing Rubio from all the other candidates? Maybe trying to get on someone elses ticket with his 3 delegates? Trying to set up another concession speech? Going over upcoming bridge court case with lawyers?

Whatever he is doing right now its a big change from the last year...epic

[Blueguyinthesky]

8. I wish every Repub would drop out

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. from your lips to God's ears...........

[Zambero]

9. To Christie's credit....

He managed to take down Marco Robo with him, not garnering many votes for himself in the process. Now he can focus on being governor again and/or staying out of prison.

[Laxman]

11. Rubio Was An Easy Target....

Just the weak kid on the block waiting for Christie to give him a wedgie & take his lunch money. It was fun to watch but it wasn't really a heavy lift. Christie has never really done the hard work.

[TeamPooka]

15. sure easy. except no one else had been able to do it. He's a teflon guy and very slick.

Christie had to stay on him for two weeks and a debate to get him.

[Iggo]

18. But Christie was the only one shootin' at it.

[lpbk2713]

19. He can go back to blocking traffic on heavily used bridges.

And not really caring if anyone complains or not.

[Kingofalldems]

22. I bet that was done in concert with Trump.

[anamnua]

16. I'm not a Christie fan

but his demolition of Marco was awesomely Lloyd Bentsenesque.

[SoCalDem]

24. It's ironic really

His "time" was 2012, but I think (to him) his weight was an issue, so he spent time & money trying to get slimmer.. It worked a little, but not really all that much, and by the time 2016 rolled around he was no longer popular, and scandals dogged him..

The bloom was off his rose"

Hillary's "time" was 2004, but she did not want to oppose GW...thought it would be a foregone conclusion in 2008.. She did not plan on Obama.. She really only knows one way to campaign and that way is now stale..Reminds me of that great hunk of steak you bring home from the restaurant.. After it's been in the fridge more than a day or two,it's not so tasty

[Arugula Latte]

26. He bypassed his stomach, but there is no bypass for the GW Bridge.

[Laxman]

28. No Regrets......

shameless & classless. That's All Folks!

Gov. Christie suspends presidential campaign ‘without an ounce of regret’

Governor Christie suspended his presidential campaign Wednesday, one day after a disappointing primary finish in New Hampshire, where he staked his fortunes after having spent more time, money and resources there than most of the other candidates.

“I leave the race without an ounce of regret. I’m so proud of the campaign we ran, the people that ran it with me and all those who gave us their support and confidence along the way,” Christie said in a message on his Facebook page.

Christie met with his staff at his campaign headquarters in Morristown at 4 p.m. today, joined by wife, Mary Pat, and eldest son, Andrew, spokeswoman Maria Comella said.

34. Ahh, The Early Days....

seems like only yesterday!

35. But you had Volume II already

Can't wait for the trial to begin

[pnwmom]

32. Total narcissists are always right so they never regret anything. n/t

[pnwmom]

33. Thanks for all your work keeping up with this creep. n/t

[Laxman]

37. Thank You Mom....

and Rocktivity and Malaise and everyone else who has helped me keep tabs on him. I think there's still a ways to go-hopefully involving keeping track of the criminal proceedings. I think your piece on his $450,000/year sidekick Michelle Brown may yet prove important.

[pnwmom]

39. I won't be surprised at all if new criminal activities come out

and we learn that he was hoping he could make it all go away, if only he could become President.

[malaise]

40. I'll be turning on JoeScum in the morning to hear their response

He was their dear beloved friend.

He'll be back as a VP selection or a proposed GOP cabinet member.
