Can New Jersey’s Leonard Lance Survive a Democratic Wave?

GOP lawmaker faces tough re-election against Democrat Tom Malinowski

LEDGEWOOD, N.J. — Nobody dislikes New Jersey Rep. Leonard Lance.

The moderate Republican voted against what were supposed to be his party’s major legislative achievements this Congress: the tax overhaul and the repeal of the 2010 health care law. And unlike many of his GOP peers, he’s actually held town hall meetings. His civility and the carefulness with which he chooses his words hark back to a different political era.

All that goes over well in his well-educated, affluent 7th District, where voters narrowly backed Hillary Clinton in 2016. But that might not be enough to save Lance this year.

Does this guy support the second amendment or is his only function to serve as a GOPe stooge for his upscale district.

If it means the difference between having people like Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Jarrold Nadler holding the gavels of powerful committees or not, that would not be a good tradeoff.

In NJ that means he wins by 5 points instead of 10.

Dems keep crossing over in primaries to save these spineless RINO’s. Let them lose, and then we can get a real conservative on the ticket to battle the libtards.

Lance is a cream puff libtard and quintessential simpering RINO.
But I hope Trump keeps those seats.
Hugin’s performance may help him.

He is running ads saying he was endorsed by Gabby Giffords, is the most bi-partisan congressman, and doesn’t agree with
Trump on everything.
He is anti-Second Amendment and, like his retiring elitist butt buddy Frelinghuysen,
frequently criticized Trump.

If we didn’t need the seat, I would enjoy watching this establishment turd get flushed.

I used to live in his district

Polls indicate they are only a few points apart. Hugin may carry it off. He is flooding the airways with adds and a huge warchest.
