"I'd rather lose by telling the truth than lie in order to win," former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told a New Hampshire crowd Wednesday evening as he announced the suspension of his presidential bid. He has not, as of yet, endorsed another candidate.

Even so, Christie deserves praise for being the lone candidate in the race with the courage to directly challenge the Republican frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.
