Chris we hardly knew ye....

Farewell to NJ Governor Chris Christie who dropped out of the GOP Presidential Race this week having wrecked Marco Rubio's momentum beautifully in last weeks debate yet ends up himself finishing sixth in the NH Primary, just a few hundred votes behind Galleazzo Ciano....
Christie was in full flood a masterpiece of GOP impotent belligerence, he trebled down on the hatred of his onetime pal Barack Obama and campaigned for all the world like a fifth generation xerox of Rudy Guiliani.
Christie's campaign adverts were just plain idiotic rambling town hall footage of the NJ Governor talking about "Presidential Fists", wearing a pin stripped suit with weird oversized sneakers on his elephantine feet.
Having seen him up close I safely say I think he'd be no one you'd ever want to work for (he exudes a "mean bullying boss" aura) but that hardly makes him the Mortal Scourge of ISIS Terrorists Everywhere.
Oh well...nothing left to do but wait for the inevitable indictment. Christie is a New Jersey Pol After All....

Carly Fiorina also dropped out this week having finished only a few percentage points above radiation sickness in Granite State Exit Polls. I will pass over the contradictions of a woman seeking the GOP Presidential Nomination and her compromised private sector bona fides min favoring on wondering what in Ghod's name ever motivates a cheap act like Carly to hang in there thru primary night. Her headquarters in Manchester NH was naught but a tomb stuffed with unmailed flyers and presided over by haunted starvelings....she must have know there was no heat to gat in New Hampshire and if she cannot prevail there why hang in there?
My only answer is stupid childish pride....it can't be anything else in the face of all the baldfaced facts and the sheer humiliation of a candidate mired in obscurity and the single digits.

Mike Huckabee dropped out as well, and sheer Xian weirdness factor in the GOP race literally doubled all the same....

I dunno after Trump blew out New Hampshire I have to wonder, the clock may really be ticking on a credible AntiDonald Candidacy, doesn't anyone out there think a giddy hack like John Kasich can do the job? I wonder how long before the line cracks and the GOP topmost echelons start stealing off hat in hand to get the best deal they can for their respective interests?  I think he is gonna blow out Nevada and South Carolina and after that exactly where is the last ditch line upon which the McConnells and Ryans and Romney's will make their stand? I say they are getting their alibis ready, Jeb Bush's money can't last forever at this rate.....
