Chris Christie may suspend White House bid

“I think he is not Christian in any of his beliefs, and he’s pretending to be Christian to get the votes”, Woodfin said about Trump.

The US senator from Texas, who won the Iowa caucuses last week and placed third Tuesday night in New Hampshire, wasted no time slinging mud against Trump as a fake conservative, as Cruz fights to be the evangelical and right-wing standardbearer for the 2016 Republican nomination. Trump posted a video on Facebook urging his supporters to vote.

Trump said on “CBS This Morning” that he and Christie spoke after the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, in which Trump won a big victory.

Chris Christie is expected to formally suspend his presidential campaign as early as today after he huddles with his closest advisers, ABC News has learned.

You won’t have to worry about voting for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie or former business executive Carly Fiorina in the California GOP primary this June.

With their rivalry heating up, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush continues to take shots at Kasich, highlighting his decision to massively expand social welfare programs in Ohio.

Clinton’s rival, Vermont U.S. Sen. Donald J. Trump, once risible, is officially viable as a candidate for the Republican nomination.

But by the time the campaign started, Christie’s star had fallen considerably as his image was badly tarnished by scandal and the growing perception that rather than someone who could work with people he was, in fact, more of a bully. “That message was heard by and stood for by a lot of people, but just not enough and that’s OK”. Marco Rubio returned to the Upstate, following the New Hampshire Primary, on Wednesday.

The governor also struggled with more conservative Republican voters, many of whom distrusted him after he embraced President Obama as the two toured the devastation left by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Instead, he saved barbs for the Democrats in the race – Bernie Sanders – “He’s a socialist, nice guy” – and Hillary Clinton – “If she wins, she will probably have to pardon herself”.

Still, Mayfield said watching Rubio come in fourth in the New Hampshire primary was “disappointing”.

According to exit polls, 45 percent of Republican voters said they preferred a president with political experience, such as Kasich or Bush.

Following the debate, some employees for the Democratic Super PAC American Bridge 21st Century began protesting Rubio events, wearing robot costumes reading “Marco Roboto”.

Trump, scheduled to hold a Wednesday night rally in the state, meanwhile unleashed a SC campaign ad criticizing Cruz as “the worst king of Washington insider who just can’t be trusted”.
