Here’s the latest on the 2016 presidential race as Republican and Democratic candidates head from New Hampshire to SC and beyond.
Cruz, who supports a regressive “flat tax” and opposes abortion, is knocked into third place by Marco Rubio.
“I hope you watched the debate on Saturday night”.
Christie’s criticism of Rubio at Saturday night’s debate was seen by pundits as fairly devastating, though the Rubio campaign argues they’ve seen no evidence it slowed his support in New Hampshire.
Christie joins a list of former Republican heavyweights to leave the race, including South Carolina Sen. She said he’s a pussy.
“They’re getting more and more desperate”. “You want someone who is prepared, experienced, mature, and tested to get on the stage against Hillary Clinton”, he said. “Nobody, not me, not Jeb Bush, not John Kasich, not Marco Rubio, not Ted Cruz, have the first idea of what’s going to happen tonight”.
Rubio visited precincts Tuesday and tamped down expectations and the supposed “3-2-1” strategy – reflecting finishes in Iowa, N.H. and S.C. “That was never our strategy”, Rubio said in Windham.
“He’s been insulting me all the way through”, Bush said of his long-simmering feud with the Republican front-runner.
Also earlier Tuesday, Christie’s New Hampshire campaign manager Wayne MacDonald told The Republican/MassLive.com, “Every state we’ll evaluate as it comes, and ultimately the campaign will decide where it stands and what it wants to do”. About 60 percent of Democrats said they were already decided.
“I’ll tell you what the debate should – I hope – told the people of New Hampshire and the people of America – I’m ready to beat Hillary Clinton and I’m ready to be the President of the United States”, Christie said as the crowd cheered. “And from this day forward I’m going to go slower and spend lots of time listening and healing and helping and bringing people together to fix our great nation”.
