TRENTON -- Already trailing badly in the polls, Republican New Jersey governor candidate Kim Guadagno has been hit with another devastating 1-2 punch: She's lost the confidence of a pair of deep-pocketed GOP groups that spend big on governor's races, NJ Advance Media has learned.
The Republican National Committee, which is controlled by President Donald Trump, views the lieutenant governor as someone who hasn't been loyal to the president and officials there see her race as a losing cause, according to two sources familiar with the RNC's plans. The sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
The Republican Governors Association, a nationwide group formed with the sole purpose of electing GOP governors, has invested minimally in New Jersey and currently has no plans to change course, sources say.

I thought politics was beanbag...
Well, you shouldn’t run against the party you are running for. How hard is that to figure out? Are these people that stupid?
Payback is a b!tch. Let the examples begin....
The Trump train needs to start running over a lot of RINOs. We had the best opportunity in 30 years to advance our cause and the RINO Uniparty congress is squandering it all away.
Of course. The same, good-old anonymous sources.
They're always good for juicy quotes, aren't they?
It is called the “stupid party” for a reason.
Yes they are that stupid. I believe that the whole Washington DC bunch are below stupid but just damn ignorant.
Apparently she is. Blowout coming right at her.
We need to come up with a name for the new party Trump is putting together.
The Republican Party is coming to an end. It’s basically “pulling a Whigs” with its failure to support our President.
Good riddance.
HAHA!!
Would she be doing any better if she did support Trump? Let’s face it, this was going to be a long shot for any Republican. Christie hasn’t been popular since he go reelected. Is Phil Murphy going to support Trump?
If New Jersey is going the way of Illinois (and that is quite similar to the way the Soviet Union went), so be it.
Yes, from now on, it will just be Democrats.
Sucks to be Kim Guano.
Perhaps in her next life (as a monkey, or whatever) she’ll be a bit more CAREFUL who she chooses to be enemies with.
Most people learn that lesson pretty early in their adult lives...but, it seems, a LOT of Republicans are learning the same very late...
How about American Workers Party?
“Would she be doing any better if she did support Trump?”
Probably. Maybe not enough to win, but now she’s in NO MAN’S LAND without any real base of support. At least if she (or whoever was running as the Republican) was solidly behind Trump, people would actually turn out and vote.
Remember, this is an off-year election...very few states are voting at all - in other words, very low turnout. A bunch of rabid Trump supporters, even if only 35% of the electorate, could easily put a Republican in Trenton.
But she chose to ‘play it safe’...LOL!
Chris Christie is as good as you’ll get from New Jersey and I am glad his political career is over.
