Christie heading home to evaluate campaign's future

Source: The Hill

Chris Christie said he is taking a pause from the campaign trail to "take a deep breath" and evaluate his presidential campaign's future after a poor showing in New Hampshire.

"We are going to go home to New Jersey tomorrow, and we are going to take a deep breath, see what the final results are tonight, because that matters," Christie said at a speech Tuesday night as the New Hampshire primary results poured in.

"We will make our next step forward based on the complete results in New Hampshire.”

knuckle-draggers. Less gun control. no fuel tax increase to solve the problem of the depleted transportation fund, hinder medical marijuana - and on and on.

Maybe he will now focus on what is good for the state as opposed to what he thinks will help him be president.

Maybe Christie could close down a bridge into each of the remaining primary states. Maybe that'll help something.

Fucking thug asshole.

Christie leaves, and takes Rubio down with him....

I don't think the press/media/pundits/gasbags would have noticed the robot getting stuck.

That moment will be infamous for years to come. Kind of like Lloyd Bentsen saying "You're no Jack Kennedy" to Dan Quayle.

Rubio would have been exposed sooner or later. It was fun watching the fat boy sit on him and squash the life out of him.

on how to find the place? Hopefully his journey home will include a trip to his former workplace at the Federal Courthouse in Newark to enter a plea. There's a certain satisfaction in seeing him go down in flames but it's empty if he also doesn't have to be held accountable for the truly bad things he has done.

I am still hoping that Chairman Samson turns state's evidence on Christie. They don't seem to be able to find many of the emails and his cell phone texts have been erased, so it's up to either Samson, Wildstein or Kelly to rat on him.

If he didn't approve it, or would approve of it.

It was his strong arming staff that did it to punish the mayor.

Even Republicans understand causing traffic jams on the 1st day of school is B-A-D.

And Republicans understand little.
