Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : I've never had a less substantive interview with you in my life.
57% : "I didn't raise my hand in August.
43% : I'm the guy who didn't raise my hand on the stage when they asked me if you would support him if he was a convicted felon.
36% : With most GOP polls showing the former New Jersey governor stuck in the low single digits and Christie seemingly placing all his hopes on a decent showing in the early primary state of New Hampshire, Hewitt continually pressed Christie to drop out and give other candidates a better shot at beating Donald Trump.
36% : Hewitt thought perhaps Christie could find a way to support Trump if the former president somehow escapes conviction on dozens of felony charges, while the former prosecutor flatly said he couldn't accept Hewitt's premise.
30% : After much more of this back and forth, Hewitt pivoted to Christie's repeated assertion that he would not endorse Trump for president if the ex-president wins the nomination.
27% : Christie, meanwhile, only grew more irritated with Hewitt the longer the conservation went on, especially when the host kept pushing the ex-governor to endorse Trump if the former president is the GOP nominee -- something the former New Jersey governor has unequivocally said he will not do.
22% : "Your staying in the primary undeniably helps Donald Trump get the election, doesn't it?"After Christie disagreed with that notion, Hewitt then brought up conservative pundit Noah Rothman's recent claim that Christie staying in the race is "hurting Nikki Haley" and "doing profound reputational harm to himself," adding that there's no "upside" to Christie's candidacy.
17% : In fact, on the same day that he called into Hewitt's show, Christie released a campaign ad admitting that he regretted endorsing Trump for president in 2016.
16% : But I can do math, and if Chris Christie drops out, someone's going to benefit not named Donald Trump.
