It takes very little for NJ Republicans to switch parties.

I just changed my affiliation to Republican in order to vote for Trump in CA. If I return to the hopeless feeling I’ve had since Bush I, I’ll go back to independent.

C'mon! Are there any real Republicans in New Jersey? Of course there is! But, to change this quickly over something so insignificant, makes one wonder.

Samuel Adams, at the time of the Revolutionary War:

“If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

Campbell was never defeated. He retired from the Senate in 2004.

RATS or RINOs left!!! >>>

and NJ is full of them. I found out in the Bret Schundler for Governor campaign back in 2001..They actually hated him...and they dislike many pro-life candidates where they say “we’re not that kind of a republican, go somewhere else.”

good riddance, who needs them and who cares what they say...the press loves stories like this. I hope they lose next time around.
