i would rather lose by telling the truth than lie in order to win. chris christie drops out with no endorsement. anyone who is unwilling to say that he is unfit to be president of the united states is unfit themselves to be president of the united states. as the rest of the field panders to maga. don t just build the wall. bill both walls. anthony, you are fired. tonight, what christie s departure means to the race in our party led by an indicted front runner. sits here with a smug look on his face and runs away when it s my turn to talk. how the tent collapsed on the margaret circus, with congresswoman jasmine crockett, and george conway on how trump attorneys walk into a trap at a d.c. courtroom. when all in starts, right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. a major development tonight in the race for the republican nomination. chris christie, the only candidate telling the truth about trump from the republican side and his attempted coup was
to give the kind of top lines right now, again, in new hampshire, where you have unaffiliated voters, democrats and independents can all vote, latest poll had trump out by seven over haley. christie was taking 12 points. it s possible him leaving helps haley there. if you look at the national polling, it s still just an enormous donald trump. he s got 49 and no one s close. and chris christie s at 2%. again, amanda, kristie at least had a theory of the case. i want to get in the race, i m gonna be the trump s bad actually candidate. and i m just going to say that until i see how far it takes me. and it does feel like today was a definitive ruling on that approach, at least within a republican primaries, which we all know. but i m glad he gave it a try, is what i guess i would say. yeah and it s important to test the case. with him dropping out there s enough voters to make it interesting for alia new hampshire. but the next logical question is, what does christie do next?
