What does this have to do with Bobby Sherman?
Ping to Liberal Media criticism list.
Sure, he’s a criminal RINO goof, but it is NJ and he is better than we’d have hope for. I’ll take anything that swings a state.
However, putting himself in a position to raise this possibility before Ol’ Bob is dispensed with may not increase the likelihood of it happening.
“I’m looking for a Shermanesque statement here.”

The Ministry of Propaganda minion was looking for a commitment to appoint a Democrat.
Menendez has to be found guilty, kicked out of the senate, and imprisoned before Christie-0 should open his mouth.
On the other hand the Dems will probably demand that he be allowed to serve as a senator while he is in prison.
It’s unseemly, but since Christie’s career isn’t going anywhere, he’d be dumb not to appoint himself to the Senate if he has the power to do that.
After Christie, we have Phil Murphy, another Goldman Sachs liberal, like Corzine, but only with half the brains.
Christie, believe it or not, is still better than what is coming.
If I were Christie, I’d do it. Screw the critics, haters gonna hate anyway (some of whom are on FR). Gain a Republican seat any way you can and help MAGA.
if Menendez has to go and it is up to Christie to appoint some fool, of course he will appoint himself.
It’s either that or become a good humor ice cream truck driver.
Term limits, and few want this boob around.
Go for it Chris!
Corpulent Chris has just guaranteed the Menendez trial will extend past January 18, 2018.
Lyle or Erik?
A former democrat governor of Minnesota tried this. It didn’t work out so well.
After U.S. Senator Walter Mondale was elected vice president in 1976, the governor needed to appoint Mondale’s successor. Anderson agreed with his lieutenant governor, Rudy Perpich, that Anderson would resign as governor, and Perpich, as the new governor, would appoint Anderson senator.
In what became known as the “Minnesota Massacre”, nearly the entire DFL Party ticket was defeated in 1978, including Perpich and the candidates for both U.S. Senate seats, Anderson and Bob Short. Anderson’s arrangement to have himself appointed to the Senate—and Perpich’s role in that appointment—were deemed central factors in the defeats.
