1. On the national scene, I think he would have been more dangerous

that T Rump.

[NV Whino]

2. One fewer crazy to worry about.

[Saviolo]

3. They called it on the TYT live broadcast

While Christie was talking about going home and taking stock, they were all saying, basically, once you've thought about dropping out, you're done. You don't go home and wait to see if you placed 5th instead of 6th and you'll stay in.

4. I'm not looking forward to this I live in NJ he has destroyed NJ

[AllyCat]

9. Yeah, I hear ya. Walker came back to our state and opened a can of crap on us

Our state is still trying to pay off his campaign debt (oops! did I say that?), but hey, now we can carry switchblades and have cleaned up the clean up house that watched our elections so the Repugs can do more wonderful things, like limit local control of cities and towns to ask voters for more money to fund schools. After all, we wouldn't want people to make lemonade out of the lemon of cutting 13% funding for our schools from the state. But, hey, we are saving money!! And in debt...

[MyOwnPeace]

20. But,

the "school" money would be for more vouchers and charters, money that will NOT help the "general" public schools - you know, the ones where the teachers work that were on Walker's enemy list!

[Hoppy]

14. Me too. He is one piece of shit.

Maybe he will pay attention to the needs of N.J. unless he thinks he will make a good vice-pres.

[Myrina]

5. Are we sure he's just not picking up some clean clothes?

a la Ben Carson?

[Botany]

6. Now he can go back to N.J. and face charges for his actions w/the GWB

[yellowcanine]

17. Nice bridge if you can get on it, Fort Lee.

[Botany]

19. I still don't know how Christie hasn't been charged for the GWB shut down

Christie has 2 choices:

1) He was clueless as Governor when the busiest bridge in America
was shut down for 4 days. aka he was incompetent

b) He knew all about the shut down and should be held accountable
for his actions.

[wordpix]

31. hasn't been charged for withholding fed $ from Hurr. Sandy victims in NJ, either

That is an even bigger issue than the GWB, but together they're huge and I'm still waiting...

[Botany]

34. I might be wrong but in a number of cases well placed republican judges or US Attorneys ....

... know that their job is to protect the GOP. In Ohio 2 women (small fish in the scam)
were arrested, tried, and convicted for rigging the 2004 vote recount for Cuyahoga
County (Cleveland) and were headed for prison but a republican judge stopped that
cold. I bet Christie has some judges as firewalls against his prosecution.

[AllyCat]

7. whittling down the crazy into one big crazy

Not sure of the logic of that, but that's what it appears like.

[valerief]

8. One less asshole. nt

[longship]

10. One less, rather large, asshole! nt

[valerief]

13. Well, it's sat on a lot of corporate laps. nt

[houston16revival]

11. It's just like John McCain!!!!!

Suspend your campaign

RUSH to New York to work on the financial crisis

Remember that one?

Is the George Washington bridge open today?

[yellowcanine]

16. Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee!

[wolfie001]

12. Poor New Jersey, he's rollin' back home

Lock your cupboards!!!

[yellowcanine]

15. Noooooooooooo!

I am bummed that New Jersey Fats may be quitting the campaign. I was so hoping he would stay in until the Bridgegate indictment at least.

[navarth]

18. This is horrible news

....for comedians.

[Backwoodsrider]

21. the GWB was a red flag

And once people opened the lid all his bad crap like his poor gov of NJ came to light. He is tainted goods next stop witness in GWB case in May

[denbot]

22. NA-na-nah-na Nah na na na, hey-hey-hey Goodbye!

Ya nasty rat bastard!

[Agnosticsherbet]

23. Good-bye, Governor Christie. Don't let the screen door hit you where they split you.

[book_worm]

24. The only thing to thank him for is helping bring down the media darling--Marco Rubio

[JudyM]

40. Yup, he did us a solid, no question.

[Jefferson23]

25. Do you see their last debate? Looks like Christie was Trumps hatchet man, and

spoke with The Donald last night. lol

[brooklynite]

26. "“We bet the ranch on New Hampshire, and no one ever anticipated the Trump phenomenon,” "

...according to a source.

Right: who could have imagined TWO blowhard bullies running for President?

[GOLGO 13]

27. I did like how much real damage he did to Rubio.

Now GTFO you bloviated sack of shit.

[red dog 1]

29. + 1

[hibbing]

28. Now he can go back to bullying NJ residents n/t

[markj757]

30. Thank God he took down Rubio on the way out!!! lol

All I can say is thank God he took down Rubio on the way out!!! lol

[red dog 1]

32. One less lying Republiturd candidate

but this is good news for Rubio

(I wish Rubio & Cruz would drop out too)

Trump the Chump will be the GOP candidate.
I don't see how any of the clowns still in the race can defeat him.

33. BREAKING: Christie Quits Race to

Focus on Tormenting Rubio

NEW HAMPSHIRE (The Borowitz Report)—In a stunning announcement on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said that he was dropping out of the Presidential race to focus his energies on tormenting Florida Senator Marco Rubio full-time.

“At the end of the day, running for President was interfering with what I really love, which is making Marco Rubio’s life a living hell,” he said. “Now I can get up every morning and spend all day just doing that.”

Christie said that he had tired of fielding questions about ISIS, immigration, and the economy and having to find some contrived way of answering them with a scathing attack on Rubio. “Don’t get me wrong, I was great at it,” he said. “But it’ll be so much easier to just get out there and start tearing him apart with no pretext whatsoever.”

The New Jersey governor, who plans to bring his message of character assassination to all fifty states, did not indicate how he would finance this mission. “I’ll pay for it myself if I have to,” he said. “If, looking back on my life, I can say that I ground Marco Rubio into the dirt, I will die a happy man.”

35. Actually, he has a lot of backed up paperwork that

requires his personal attention. Subpoenas. GW Bridge, illegal redirection Hurricane Sandy relief money, and redirecting the ARC Tunnel money. These legal problems could take a decade to settle.

[warmonger456]

36. Bye Bully Boy, don't let the door slap you in the ass on the way out.

Bye Bully Boy, don't let the door slap you in the ass on the way out.

[lark]

37. Another one bites the dust

[Vinca]

38. Another one bites the dust.

At least he had one good moment: exposing Marco Roboto.

[mahina]

39. Thanks for taking Marco out.

[Kennah]

41. Not quite as satisfying as the headline, "Trump Concedes To Sanders!" n/t
