The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author takes a shot at Nikki Haley by saying she will get 'smoked' by Trump. This statement is not based on any evidence or facts and is purely an opinion of the author. Secondly, the article misrepresents Christie's comments about Haley getting smoked as if he said it in a hot mic moment when he was unaware that his microphone was on. In reality, Christie made these comments during a speech and knew they were being recorded. Thirdly, the author uses emotional manipulation by saying that Trump is the commanding front-runner for the nomination and Haley is not up for this challenge.

The article contains an example of a fallacy known as 'attacking the messenger'. Chris Christie takes shots at Nikki Haley while ending his presidential campaign. This is an attempt to discredit Haley by attacking her character rather than addressing the issues. Additionally, there are examples of inflammatory rhetoric used by Christie when he says that Haley will get 'smoked' and that she failed to mention slavery when answering a question about the causes of the Civil War. These statements are meant to provoke an emotional response in the reader rather than providing any evidence or logical reasoning for his claims.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Christie's persona as an anti-Trump candidate was already fully formed when he announced his candidacy in June. However, this statement contradicts previous statements made by Christie himself and other sources indicating that his decision to run against Trump was a strategic move rather than a longstanding position. Secondly, the article portrays Christie as being laser-focused on attacking Trump's character and legal troubles while ignoring other issues important to Republican voters such as crime rates, immigration policies, and economic growth. This is deceptive because it presents an incomplete picture of Christie's campaign platform. Thirdly, the article implies that there was little chance that Christie's message would resonate with GOP voters by stating that Trump has remained at the top of Republican polling despite facing criminal charges and a failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election. This is deceptive because it ignores other factors such as voter turnout, demographic shifts, and public opinion on key issues that could have influenced Christie's campaign performance.

The article contains an example of a false dilemma fallacy. The author presents the choice between Trump and Christie as if they are the only two options available, when in reality there may be other candidates or viewpoints to consider.
>Christie was on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” just last week insisting that anyone who thinks he is getting out of this race, they are crazy. And yet he languished in single digits in poll after poll, failing to make the stage for CNN's final debate before the Iowa caucuses.
Christie has also been perfectly willing to call out those would-be nominees fealty to Trump both on the campaign trail and from the debate stage.
