I was hoping Christie would gain enough points to continue campaigning. But, he didn't and so was bumped from the GOP debates. Now that there are fewer candidates, maybe they will get serious about the debates, and answer questions critical to our country's wellbeing. Keep praying for us to get a great POTUS. We need one to mend our country from the separation that has happened in recent years.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee have failed to qualify for next week's main Republican presidential debate hosted by Fox Business Network and The Wall Street Journal.

This is the first time in the election cycle that candidates have been bumped from the main debate to the undercard forum.

In order to qualify for the main debate, candidates needed to poll at an average of 2.5 percent or higher in the four most recent national surveys. Christie and Huckabee did not meet that threshold, and will instead join Bobby Jindal and Rick Santorum in an earlier forum.

I liked Christie, unfortunately that scandal involving the closing the tolls during rush hour did him in. If he had got out in front of it, he probably would have been a front runner

Yeah, that's what I thought about too. In the end he was responsible whether it was planned or not. SSG (Join to see).

Christy is not gone yet - his poll ratings have just not caught up with his more recent performance.

At this point they are not polling high enough based in the parameters established by the debate commission so they do not deserve to be on stage
