New Jersey has inner cities that have drugs, gangs, illegals, and a lot of other problems imported from NYC, Gambling transients, and Philadelphia....and with that comes a huge Obama fan base of color. That’s not an easy mix to keep straight and controlled...while running a state.
I believe you are better off with Christy, than some of the alternatives.
I would not blame NYC for Jersey’s problems. The inner cities of Jersey have been with us since African-Americans came up from the south in the 50s and 60s to work in the factories. Most of those people were very good folk; its their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who wrecked some of the major cities. Nothing to do with NYC.
