"The election-night party for Chris Christie was a somber affair, with supporters coming to terms
with a disappointing finish for the New Jersey governor in a primary contest where he had staked his campaign hopes on a strong finish.
Instead, as of 9:22 p.m., Christie had just 8.2 percent of the vote, lagging behind Donald Trump, Ohio Gov. John Kasich in second, Sen. Ted Cruz, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Sen. Marco Rubio in that order.
Watching the results trickle in and hoping for an unlikely surge, Christie supporters set a modest target: reach 10 percent.
"I'm looking to see if he can make the 10 percent threshold which is what he'd need to get delegates in New Hampshire," said former New Hampshire state House Speaker Donna Sytek, a Christie supporter here. "Looking at the results, it's clear that his debate performance made people pay attention to the fact that we need to have a governor. The bad news is it was the other two governors. It's kind of a good cop, bad cop. He was the bad cop." Politico
