This is the author’s politics and party.
NJ was one place where such a shift could have happened (despite many FReepers’ assertions to the contrary, Chris Christie is an absolute right-winger for the northeast, with all the right enemies on the left); however, the continued economic stagnation has caused many Americans to flee the state. The illegals and other imports aren’t conservative voters, so the homeowners employed in the private sector (Chris Christie’s core constituency) aren’t gaining strength.
Fifty years of trying to install socialism have finally been noticed by the people. They were boiling the frog just fine until Obama showed up and cranked up the burner. I sense a major backlash forming against the left. Hillary! Should be the recipient of it. Delish.
No...the fair weather “moderates” saw their tax bills increasing and enough of them figured it out. Trust me...ultimately it is all about money. That’s why the fair weatherers are all leaving commie controlled states like CA and NY. Changing your address doesn’t change your IQ!
I was born & raised in Wisconsin.
It was a VERY Conservative state when I lived there. Only Milwaukee area was Liberal.
