The GOP establishment in the 11th Congressional District of New Jersey is backing Tayfun Selen for Congress in this year’s midterm elections. Selen, a Turkish immigrant turned serial candidate, has previously bad-mouthed both President Trump and the American people to foreign media. Most recently, he won the Morris County GOP’s endorsement in a process marred by controversy and allegations of fraud.
America First conservatives have coalesced around outsider candidate and Iraq War veteran Toby Anderson, who they hope will win the nomination over Selen and, as they put it, stop the 11th District from sending another Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger to Washington. Whoever the GOP nominates will take on Democrat incumbent Mikie Sherrill this November. Sherrill first won election to Congress in 2018 as the 11th District was flipped from red to blue and has been a staunch supporter of the Pelosi legislative agenda ever since.
The 11th District race is predicted to be a toss-up this November. Like similar battleground districts, the GOP establishment hasn’t hesitated to publicly meddle in the nomination process, making clear that they support anti-Trump Republican Tayfun Selen.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Joisey.
If it wasn’t for those pesky voters, RINOs could live comfortably in perpetuity as the high paid opposition party.

Just the kind the Bush League likes.
I never understood why anyone with half a brain would think a MAGA candidate would do well in a House district that is dominated by the banking, finance, health care and education industries.
Incumbent went to an academy-military bonafides. No chance for a maga. Some of us enjoy getting our butts kicked just to prove a point. Stupid is as...
Wait. Isn’t the State mob run?
Send in the toxic avenger to purge the state of corruptocrats
Yep. It’s a mob State.
No Republican, not even a fake Jersey-style Republican, has any real chance in this district barring a miracle upset.
The “independent commission” which controlled the redistricting process in New Jersey helped supposedly vulnerable Democrats as much as they could and the 11th district is where they helped the most (but also the 5th and 3rd districts).
In order to accomplish that they hindered the chances of liberal Democrat Tom Malinowski in the 7th district, but even if Republicans snatch that one away in November (there’s perhaps a 40% probability of that happening) it would be with some WAY left-of-center RINO along the lines of Tom Kean Jr., so it remains to be seen how much of an improvement that would be.
Republicans in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, etc. would be well served donating their money to actual Republicans in other states instead of RINOs.
The “GOP” is a worthless craphole of a party. It is faux opposition, and it will never succeed in doing anything more than grifting money from decent, honest patriots, while screwing them over at every turn.
Isn’t that what the Establishment does?
