Jersey is pretty patriotic. We are outnumbered by hellhole cities like Newark,Paterson (ISIS isnout in open there), Trenton, and some hippie places like Princeton. However, we have lots of rural areas and burbs that are right of center. We are passwd the tipping point however, and Christie will be the last state wide GOP office holder
We visited my wife’s hometown in NJ last summer (I lived there for 8 years). Small town in north-central Jersey. The 4th of July parade was kicked off by a prayer and a speech. LOTS of little towns like that. Of course the key word there is “little” - and they get out-voted by the big-city liberals.
