Chris Christie fades into darkness [meanwhile, back at the non-Trump ranch]
Politico ^ | 8/22/2015 | Daniel Strauss

Christie has become such an also-ran that the Associated Press and the New York Times recently reassigned reporters dedicated to covering Christie

...

“We’re all living in Trump world,” said Kean. “And Trump world is something none of these political gurus or any of these guys conceived of when they [started] running their campaigns.”

...

Trump’s dominance of the news cycle is a major factor holding Christie down

For me, it’s down to Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump.
Right, like Trump is going to work for Cruz. You Cruz supporters are delusional.

Aside from being a lawyer, list Cruz's accomplishments.

Cruz's wife would have a better resume, be more qualified than Ted. She was/is at least a member of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and has business/economic experience as a investment banker.

Ted Cruz is all about talk and debate...that's it.

Hard to believe that anything can hold Krispy Kreme down in that shape. =) <

“Rumor, too, that Perry’s campaign is broke and being run by unpaid volunteers.”

Actually, I that’s not a rumor but an actual fact.

“CNN IS COVERING OUR HEROES WHO TOOK DOWN A TERRORIST!!!”

I don’t know what’s with CNN these days; they seem to have shifted a bit to the right and seem to be covering things a bit more objectively these days. They’ve certainly quit totally trashing Trump.

Same with NBC: they almost seem to be Trump cheerleaders at times.

Maybe they’ve decided they actually need some people to watch them to stay viable, and/or maybe they see this as their chance to stick it to Murdoch. Or maybe they think Hillary will cream Trump, so that’s why they’re playing kingmakers there.

Christie was never a serious candidate. There’s no way in hell that guy would ever get elected to the White House.

That’s the picture that killed what little chance he had.

Flooding the zone to drown out Ted Cruz was the strategy to nominate ¡Yeb!

Grahamnesty, NJFatBoy, Kasich, Pataki, Rubberio, Huckster, Paul, Fiorina, Walker aren’t going to be President and most of them know it.

They had no plan for Trump and it shows.

[Maybe they’ve decided they actually need some people to watch them to stay viable...]

VERY likely and in light of the hammering Fox Network took over their ‘fair and balanced’ debates, they may have thought it was time to strike while the iron is hot.

Is there a FR “dead pool” for first R to drop out?

if pataki doesn’t really register in the polls, is he really in? Graham?

that needs to be clarified before placing bets

Thank you- Tom, I’m off to watch this story. Did not see it mentioned yesterday on Fox during O’Reiley.

Trump has sucked the oxygen out of the GOPe nomination process AND has already established the national election agenda, namely, illegal immigration.

And there ain't a damn thing they can do about it!

And Christie’s weight is also “holding him down!”

Well then, as I've said many times.. "paint Goodyear on his a$$ and send him up."

Christie is massive enough to make his own gravity.

Now Christie can go off that diet he's been on.
