Will Christie drop out after NH?

Discuss.

If he doesn't finish as the top establishment candidate, he'll have to.  He's practically been living in NH for months now and has banked everything on the state.

Yes. At this point, it seems likely both Kasich and Rubio will do better than he does. So he'll be out right after the NH primary.

[Sir Mohamed]

Yes, after he gets beaten by Rubio and Kasich.

[Horsemask]

Pretty much what everyone else has said.

[Kleine Scheiße]

If he either wins, or is the first-placing establishment candidate (or second establishment, behind Rubio), he'll stay in.

Anything else, he'll drop.

[Suburbia]

I see him in the election until after March 15.

[Figueira]

Unless he beats Rubio, he'll drop out. Same goes for Kasich and (I think) Bush.

[President Johnson]

To close to call at this time. If more than one establishment candidate gets more votes in New Hampshire, the very early favorite of this race done.

[PresidentTRUMP]

I would anticipate these three dropping out after NH if they don't finish a MINIMUM at 3rd place: Kasich, Christie and Bush. The argument could strongly be made Christie and Kasich would drop out if they don't finish 2nd.

My guess is Bush finishes out of the top 3 and painfully continues his campaign until SC or Nevada before calling it Quits.

[Lincoln Republican]

The scandal ridden Governor of New Jersey was finished before he started, but he will probably try to limp along thinking he is somehow relevant.

[Orser67]

I actually think if there's a de facto 5-way tie for second (among Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Kasich, and Christie) we could see all of the establishment candidates stay in the race. But Christie imo is the most likely of the four establishment candidates to drop out. Bush and Kasich have an incentive to stay in the race until March 15th, when their respective states vote in a winner-take-all primary.

Christie doesn't have the money to continue if he doesn't win or come in second in New Hampshire.  I doubt he will do either, so yes, Christie will drop out after New Hampshire.
