New Jersey to Chris Christie: Chuck the campaign

Source: USA Today

TRENTON, N.J. — The people who know Gov. Chris Christie best — New Jersey residents — say Christie should pack it in and quit running for president, and that includes a majority of Republicans.

A Rutgers-Eagleton poll out today also shows the second-term GOP governor can no longer count on a home-state advantage when New Jersey has its presidential primary on June 7.

Sixty-seven percent of registered voters think Christie should end his campaign, while 27% say he should continue to run. Only 9% say Christie’s prospects have improved in the past few months since he officially entered the race.

Republicans are also giving up on “Christie for President,” with only 41% saying he should keep running, against 54% saying he should call it a day.

His sad performance as governor does not deserve to be prolonged.

He should retire to build models of the George Washington Bridge while sitting on a traffic cone.

This is the Repug party, doesn't money trump everything else? Would be so very funny if their 2nd choice implodes like their first choice (Walker) did and ends up out of the race? I'd really enjoy watching that happen to these asshole, environment wrecking, crony capitalists.

I remember when he was being touted as the best hope of the GOP and was everywhere. Now you barely hear about him. I can't stand the bully, but unfortunately he's my governor and we will have to put up with him for the time being.
