Chris Christie won his campaign. He only ostensibly ran for president. He really ran for token Republican on panel television shows.
He dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination on Wednesday night. This inevitably boosts Nikki Haley’s chances in New Hampshire.
An outlier — or maybe one caught up to reality — poll showed Trump leading Haley by just 7 percentage points in the state.
CNN reported of its poll, “Those behind Christie break solidly toward Haley, with 65% saying they would support her were Christie not in the race, with fewer than 1 in 10 of his backers choosing any other candidate and 13% saying they would not vote.”
Translation? Christie dropping out gives Haley if not a fat chance than at least a slim shot of winning the Granite State’s first in the nation primary.
