Most Christie voters did not have Trump as second choice. He's been an anti-Trump attack dog since the inception of his campaign.

If this becomes a two person race

All bets are off. Trump doesn't hit 50% in GOP polls in most places, and outside of MAGA his support is tepid. He won in 2016 because of winner-take-all primaries, and MAGA is enough to get him there with split opposition but not if it's one-to-one.

I also don't think Christie dropping out helps DeSantis at all.

Many state polls. Desantis voters also prefer Trump to Haley.

538 poll of polls has Trump at 61.3% nationally. Haley is at 11% and Christie between 3 and 4%.

Which I am not watching - I’d rather stick needles in my eyes - I retract thinking there is any possibility of Haley beating Trump.

Why? Because she and DeSantis are going after each other and not Trump. You know, the front-runner. Dumbest strategy ever.

I think they’re both running for Vice President. In fact I’ve thought Haley was doing that from day 1.
It's been a one person race so far

Trump is leading most polls by 40%. I wish I saw something else.
