UNION CITY — U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, the two-term Democrat whose federal corruption trial ended in a hung jury in November, returned to his hometown this morning to announce his bid for a third term, pledging to fight the Trump administration's policies on immigration, climate change and health care.
Menendez, 64, received a hero's welcome at Union City High School, which was filled with 2,000 cheering students waving Menendez campaign signs and a host of fellow Democrats who sang hosannas about New Jersey's senior senator. Menendez joined the Democrats in casting himself as a bulwark against President Trump.
"There is a president in Washington who spends his days dividing us and distracting us but never delivering for us, who believes that being wealthy is the same thing as being worthy," Menendez said. "Under his watch, health care is getting more expensive, environmental protections are being gutted, women's rights are under attack."

Democrats love them some corrupt politicians.
Yep, the more corrupt the better. And he beat the rap and didn’t squeal. Tony Soprano would be proud.
ML/NJ
Are the Republicans running someone against this scumbag? There’s a plethora of crap you could stick on him. Sure, it’s NJ and we probably wouldn’t win, but it could help with the midterms overall by tying the “swamp” moniker to this degenerate.
That requires a desire to win on the Republican’s part though ... it won’t happen.
And people think a Stalin or Castro could never come to power again.
These brain dead idiots would vote for their own executioners.
Un-f-ing believable even for this POS state.
Have at it, Bobby.
It’ll be fun to watch you go down in flames.
A few years ago, we had some idiot Democrat who became known for driving across Texas in an old pickup truck in a bid to drum up interest in his campaign. He was a high school teacher, and shortly after he said his heart raced when his female students approached his desk to turn in their homework, I never heard about him again.
Yes,
Former pharmaceutical executive Bob Hugin is running against Menendez, but so far, Hugin is running a low-key campaign.

The more sleazy and corrupt the better and Menendez is so deep down in the sleaze you would need a submarine to find him!
But first, he needs to knock out Joe Biden in the semifinals.
Well I’m damn sure not going to vote for him!
Same old rat talking points so much so it gets you nauseous
Is it even possible to convict a Democrat anymore?
Menendez is one racist little biatch. ICE needs to take the boy for a ride.
The fact that this crook and pervert is not only not in jail, but still in the senate, proves that the US is turning into a banana republic.
Have you no shame?
What, just what might be your embarrassment threshold?
And, any word from that conscience thingy?
Sessions’ DOJ dropped the charges against this lowlife. Hey a fellow Senator must be a gentleman right?
