Gov. Chris Christie said Wednesday he supports limiting the number of candidates participating in the first Republican presidential primary debate.

During a morning interview on “Fox and Friends,” Mr. Christie said he backed Fox News’s decision to limit the first GOP primary debate in August to the top 10 candidates based on standing in national polls.

The New Jersey governor, who currently would make the cut in the crowded 2016 field, is the first official or likely 2016 presidential contender to come out in favor of the debate restriction.

“I think you have got to have some sense of limit on it, because no one will have a chance to speak if you have too many people up there,” Mr. Christie said.

18. Well, I think he will remain in the Top 10. Too many people like him for being a bully.

I can't imagine that he will win the nomination. But I think his goal is to get into the debates and impress people by acting like a total jerk.
