“If you don’t have a seat belt, go get one!” Trump posted a video on Facebook urging his supporters to vote. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Trump then jokingly “reprimanded” the person for saying it.

Rubio on Wednesday said it was a mistake during Saturday’s GOP debate to revert to talking points instead of engaging with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who ended his presidential run Wednesday.
Even with the broad range of supporters in New Jersey, he was not able to pull the numbers he wanted in New Hampshire.
Christie rattled Sen. Marco Rubio in Saturday night’s GOP debate when he slammed the Florida senator as a scripted, inexperienced politician from a do-nothing Senate.
“New Hampshire, I want to thank you”. “The same is true in SC and in Nevada”. The candidate came in at second-to-last in the most recent New Hampshire primary but has, however, confirmed that he intends to remain in the race for now.
“I have won both elections that I was supposed to lose and I have lost elections that I was supposed to win”, Christie said on Tuesday night.
Christie had pinned his hopes on New Hampshire and started to see momentum after landing a coveted endorsement from the influential New Hampshire Union-Leader.
Like other candidates, they hit polling places, television studios, call-in radio shows, the Internet, and social media in their last-minute appeals for votes. And while running for president I tried to reinforce what I have always believed – that speaking your mind matters, that experience matters, that competence matters and that it will always matter in leading our nation.
Bush told CNN on Wednesday he’s better prepared in SC than Kasich. But Rubio called up the wrong canned response from the soundbite server in his brain, going off orthogonally on President Obama for the offense of not being clueless.
New Hampshire corroborated Iowa’s choice of Cruz as the strongest Christian-right candidate, dropping Ben Carson to dead last and also keeping Carly Fiorina in the cellar. “I think John’s going to be a factor, there’s no doubt about it”, Rubio said.

That takedown of Rubio, however, did not translate into votes for Christie, 53, who had staked his political fortunes nearly entirely on the state of New Hampshire but finished near the back of the pack. Considering Hillary Clinton was once the favorite to secure the Democratic nomination, the news is sure to come as a shock to her. That being said, there’s still plenty of Clinton supporting states that the former Secretary of State and First Lady will help secure her nomination.
