Christie: Second Place in New Hampshire ‘Would Be a Real Good Result for Us’

‘If I came in second place in New Hampshire, I think that would be a real good result for us’

GEIST: “In new Monmouth University poll says that you basically in New Hampshire are in a pack of candidates behind Donald Trump. He is up 18, 20 points, something like that. And Cruz, Kasich, Rubio, Christie, kind of all together behind. Would a second-place finish in your heart of hearts, be OK with you in New Hampshire? Is that good enough to move on and then face Donald Trump stay down in South Carolina?”

CHRISTIE: “Well, Willie, you know, since in September you’ve had ‘The New York Times’ calling for me to drop out of the race. You had me in ninth place. Yeah, I think that would be just fine. And the fact is that we’re going to work real hard here in New Hampshire over the next four weeks and in Iowa the next three — we’ll be heading to Iowa right after the debate. And listen, what we need to do is to show that we are the best governor in this race. And that’s what we intend to show over the course of the next four weeks, that we’re the person who provides the best executive experience, the best plan for the future and the best person to prosecute the case against Hillary Clinton on the stage next September. And so, yeah, if I came in second place in New Hampshire, I think that would be a real good result for us.”
