Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, whose stated mission has been to keep Trump from ascending to the White House again, is confident the field narrowing will bode well for his objectives.
In my estimation, Senator Tim Scott will be the next first-loser candidate to exit the race.
To qualify for the Miami debate, first-loser candidates need to reach at least four per cent in two national polls, or four per cent in one national poll and four per cent in two early primary states. Tim Scott has not reached the 4% national threshold.
The sketchy controlled operatives also need 70,000 individual donors, including 200 donors in 20 states, according to the requirements set by the Republican National Committee (RNC), because we all know money drives the RNC.
The donor standard pushed Pence to exit.
WASHINGTON DC – Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he expects more people to drop out of the GOP presidential primary following the third debate, after former Vice President Mike Pence announced Saturday that he’s abandoning his White House bid.
“In the end, it just means this race is narrowing, which everyone said that it would,” Christie said during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, after praising the former vice president for running “a tough race.”
“It will narrow more, I suspect, when we get to the debate stage in Miami,” Christie added.
Christie is set to take the debate stage Nov. 8, alongside three fellow Republican presidential hopefuls — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley — who have all hit the RNC’s polling and donor requirements, according to POLITCO’s analysis. (read more)
There are dozens of Pence supporters now looking for a new hope. An insufferably intemperate Chris Christie looks to capitalize on the Pence coalition and push his polling to 2.00001% or more. Driven by desperate billionaire idiots, denial is everywhere….
