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?
“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!
