Summary
Chris Christie - the only Republican candidate to publically call out Trump’s flaws - has pulled out of the presidential race. Does his departure open the door to Nikki Haley - to beat Trump to the Republican nomination?
If she wins the New Hampshire primary in ten days time then all bets are off. Last night saw a cantankerous debate between the two candidates left in the race - whilst Trump was AWOL once again.
Is this the last chance Republicans have to turn the race around?
Also, who is Stephen Bradshaw, what did he do, and why has he become the latest villain in the post office scandal?

| 0:08.1 | This is a global player original podcast. |
| 0:11.8 | Last night, one of the few Republican candidates left in the race to be president pulled out of a race who was always going to lose. |
| 0:21.3 | Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey, now throws the race a little bit more open than it |
| 0:29.0 | has be. |
| 0:30.0 | But he went out throwing down the gauntlet to the candidates left to take on Trump. |
| 0:36.2 | Anyone who is unwilling to say that he is unfit to be president of the United States |
| 0:44.3 | is unfit themselves to be president of the United States. |
| 0:48.3 | The argument has always been. |
| 0:50.3 | You just need one person left in the race to tackle Trump. We're now down to two, essentially. |
| 0:57.9 | Does it mean that Donald Trump is invincible still? Or is there a chink in the armour, whereby |

| 1:20.1 | And until now, the kind of received wisdom in the US is that frankly, Donald Trump needs to |

| 1:30.2 | serious damage for there to be any possibility it's going to be someone other than Donald Trump |
| 1:35.7 | representing the Republican Party in the 2024 election in November. That's still probably, |
| 1:42.8 | probably what needs to happen for Donald Trump to exit the race. |
| 1:47.8 | But there does seem to be a little bit of an opening now where you could imagine Donald |
| 1:54.0 | Trump getting a reverse in maybe New Hampshire in 10 days time and suddenly the race opening up. |
