Why Democrats lose at least eleven Senate elections: Menendez

Also need to calculate the Murphy factor, he is widely hated as well, raising taxes every day is pissing everyone off.

I'm old enough to remember Jim Florio raising taxes right after running on a promise not to raise taxes. The theory was that by reelection time everyone would forget the lie. We didn't.

I was in college at Rutgers at the time and even among us students there was an "ethics question" that went around. Went like this: "In front of you stand Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Jim Florio. Your gun only holds two bullets. Who do you shoot?" The answer is "You shoot Florio twice to make sure the bastard is dead." Of course today we'd be thrown out of school and our future lives destroyed for making a joke about gun mock gun violence. But it was funny then.

I’d love to see Chris Murphy (Crazy Moron - CT) be retired by Connecticut’s voters...

Manchin is a master politician.

In other words a bull shit artist

"Hugin will unfortunately, however, lose the election. . .. to whoever the NJ Democrats substitute for Menendez on the ballot (last minute). Take it to the bank. They will likely sub a guy like Sweeny or even our new Jack Nicholson’s version of the Joker look-a-like aka Phil Murphy."

I don't know how she was not on my Radar screen until a few weeks ago or I forgot about her, the writer Selena Zito ( and Brad Todd ).

Are you familiar with her warning the lame streams that this Trump phenomenon is real back in 16' and you should consider he can win and the book she has authored on this new pragmatist voting block?

I have listened to a number of John Batchelor's podcast with her.

Frankly the electorate is in no mood for a last minute swap/crap like that, even if it is NJ, many have given up on Party designation according to Zito and they just want someone who will get *h!+ done, and at this point that means someone who will support PDJT and possibly someone who hasn't been in office before as well.

They are playing with fire if they do....

Murphy and Menendez are pissing off the moderates

Murphy pissed off the potheads as well, since he didn’t legalize weed like he promised

A lot of anger brewing at these two.

Republicans have a decent chance at that seat, might as well go for it.

Moderates decide elections here, generally they will side with the “D”, but if the “D” pisses them off they will either vote for the “R” or stay home.

But of course republicans are great at shooting themselves in the foot.... multiple times....

If it looks like menendez is going to lose, they will just replace him with Frank Lautenberg in the 25th hour.

He’s dead Jim, oh wait, that hasn’t stopped the Democrats before

John James (R) over geriatric grandma Debbie Stabinow (D) in Michigan.

FEARLESS PREDICTION: Chelsea Clinton will be elected to the US Senate by the State of New Jersey in 2018.

Yeah... I know... Hear me out...

In October, it will be clear the Robert Menendez is going down to defeat. The Democrats cannot afford to lose this seat, so they will perform another Torricelli Switch after the ballot deadline.

They will need a big name, with instant name recognition, to run in the short campaign. Senator Lautenberg is dead and no longer available (as opposed to last time when he was dead AND available). So what other name is there on the Democrat side bigger than Clinton?

Hillary does not want to go back to the Senate and Bill is... Bill, so the job will fall to Chelsea.

There will be a week of lawsuits and hooting and hollering, but the NJ Supremos will step in and settle the matter with about two weeks to go. In a short campaign Democrats will step all over themselves to rush to the polls and cast a ballot for somebody named “Clinton”.

Chelsea will run on a centrist Democrat “Third Way” platform, and there will be no stopping her.

Take it to the bank!
