Rodney has more than sufficient time to raise his profile and to fix his credentials. Sitting on his laurels and name aren’t going to cut it.

Frelinghuysen has been winning consistently for 20+ years, has strong support among major industries in his district, and is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. He is the one person who has successfully prevented every effort to close down Picatinny Arsenal and move those 7,000+ civilian contractors to Maryland and Alabama. I'm not sure what exactly you expect him to do to "raise his profile" and "fix his credentials."

There are two major threats to Frelinghuysen's seat in Congress:

1. Out-migration of wealthy Republican voters from New Jersey. His district has a lot of them.

2. The abject stupidity of many conservatives in his district (you'll find plenty of evidence right here on this thread) who are delusional enough to believe that a candidate who runs on a middle American GOP platform or a Rust Belt "Make America Great Again" platform has a snowball's chance in hell of winning in his district.
