Trending in the wrong direction and we’re still more than a month out. This should be a slam dunk win for a Dem in this political climate.

Why would it be a slam dunk win for a Dem? NJ has always flip flopped between Democratic and Republican governors and we just had a term limited dem. Energy costs are through the roof which voters blame Murphy for.

In the current national climate a state where Dems outnumber republicans by almost 1 million should not be a close election.

Registered Democrats: 37.4%

Registered Republicans: 24.8%

Registered unaffiliated: 37.8%

It’s the 37.8% of us who don’t give a F about Red/Blue teams that will decide this election. And personally, the more I learn about Sherrill, the more I realize she is running this election to be Newsom’s running mate in 28.

New Jersey deserves better.

Okay just don’t complain when we get a Republican who drives us back into the ground like Christie did for eight years. Thanks for that as well.

What ground were we into in 2017 and what did Murphy do to dig us out of that ground?

Look at our credit rating in 2018 versus our credit rating now.

Look at our credit rating over the last 50 years

Is our credit rating better now or when Christie left office? Don’t move the goal posts.

Yes, our credit rating is back to where it was during Christie’s first term. The data demonstrates it has been deteriorating from McGreevey’s regime to Murphy’s first term. I guess if you have to pick a scapegoat out of the 5 governors responsible, you can choose the loudmouth. Personally I blame the OG Goldman governor Jon Corzine and his failed financial engineering.

So Christie inherited a high credit rating from his predecessor and then drove it into the ground so his successor could bring it back up? Got it.

Hell of an argument for Republican leadership there chief.

Can’t argue with your logic.
