Four years ago, Chris Christie was all set to be the savior of the G.O.P., but now that he’s running for President a majority of voters in New Jersey want him to drop out of the race. “As a supporter, of course you wish he’d run when he had momentum,” Ryan Hager, the secretary of the Seton Hall College Republicans, said last Tuesday, a few minutes before Christie was to appear in the second-tier G.O.P. debate. “This time, there are so many candidates he hardly has ten seconds to get his message out.”

Hager, a junior with a sunny disposition and a Christie-esque physique, was in a classroom at Seton Hall, in South Orange, New Jersey—a Catholic university where Christie attended law school—arranging bottles of water, bags of chips, and “I ? Capitalism” posters on a table. Jennifer Collins, a senior and the president of the club, stood at a lectern, where a laptop was hooked up to a projection screen. “I can’t get it to load,” she said.


“Come on, we’re missing C.C.’s grand entrance!” Hager said.

The Fox Business Network had invited candidates who were polling above 2.5 per cent to that evening’s main-stage debate. Christie missed that cutoff and was relegated to the undercard, an hour-long warmup debate among the four least popular candidates.

“There he is,” Hager said, as Christie appeared on the screen. When the Governor bragged about how many tax increases he had vetoed in New Jersey, Hager nodded and said, “A hundred and fifty, baby!” Rick Santorum started talking, and Collins said, “I forgot he was even running, which is probably a bad sign.” Then the live stream froze, and a spinning wheel covered Christie’s face.

Pizza was delivered, and more College Republicans trickled in. “There are still a lot of Democrats here, but it’s more balanced than most schools,” Noelle Sorich, a first-year international-relations student, said. Still, “I watched the last debate with my roommate, and whenever Christie came on I couldn’t hear, because she was cursing so much.” Sorich opened her laptop and checked BallotCraft.com. “It’s like fantasy football, but you buy stock in different candidates,” she said. “It looks like I bought too much Christie. He’s at zero per cent right now.”

“Look, maybe this is good for him,” Hager said. “He gets to be a big fish in a small pond. These people are not on his level.” On the screen, Bobby Jindal attempted a joke about Republican filibusters in the House and flushing a toilet. Hager seemed reassured: “C.C. gets a bunch of airtime, and his clips will be all over the news tomorrow.”

“Or maybe this is his campaign’s death sentence,” Devin Russo, a freshman, said. “Is he electable? He’s a little too New Jersey, and I’m a guy from New
