Prosecutors established that Menendez used his office to promote the personal and financial interests of Salomon Melgen, a wealthy Florida eye doctor. He asked the State Department to intervene in Melgen's favor in a port dispute with the Dominican Republic. He also helped secure visas for a few of Melgen's girlfriends.
Prosecutors also established that Melgen provided lavish vacations, flights on a private jet and $600,000 in political contributions to Menendez. The story of the underaged hookers involved was left out of the trial.
The jury accepted these facts, but was unable to reach a verdict, saying that prosecutors failed to prove the first point was a direct result of the second point. The trial ended with a hung jury.
A month later Melgen was sentenced to 17 years in prison for Medicare fraud.
Menendez= “The creature of Epstein Island.”
A statewide Republican candidate needs to record at least 57% of the actual vote to win. Democratic fraud in major urban centers (Jersey City, Paterson, Passaic, Newark, Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Trenton and Camden as well as others) is perennial and cannot be stopped. In Paterson at one polling station fewer than 75 people were witnessed to vote. When the votes were counted over 800 were recorded for the Democrat, 20 for the Republican. Happens throughout the state. Republicans don’t even contest the results anymore. Superior Court judges mostly Democrat appointees claim there is no conclusive evidence to find fraud. Given the fraud and the changing demographics, forget about New Jersey. Suspect its a similar situation in NY, Illinois and California.

I want to believe, but I am getting real déjà vu here. It feels like New Jersey does this Lucy-football polling thing every cycle, where they’re supposedly so close to electing a Republican as Governor or Senator, and it never actually happens.
Shockingly, the Senate races in IN, WV, MO, TN, ND, and MT... all states that Trump won by 19 points or more (WV was 42!)... are all still too close to call... and WV seems to be trending to Manchin (WV-D). The GOP should be working double Tim in these states for the next 11 wks!
PA, MI, and WI were all close Trump wins, but the Dem is polling ahead by 15+ in each.
(Ohio was Trump +8, but Shrrod Brown is still up 17 points at the moment. Grrr.)
Forget it, Jake, it’s New Jersey.
Hugin could win Middlesex County, the new bellwether in Jersey politics.
Middlesex has white enclaves that can go for Hugin, but I don’t think a pharmaceutical exec can win a Senate seat in NJ.
Newark, Elizabeth, Dover, Perth Amboy, Lawnside, Atlantic City, Harrison, Trenton, New Brunswick will all go D-Menendez, as Menendez is leading with black and Latino voters, but swing voters will be the key in the fall.
Hugin is a never Trump, LGBTQ loving, illegal immigrant supporting, baby killing a-hole. I am really going to have to hold my nose to vote for him but anything is better than Bob Menendez. However, he’s no Republican.
Why worry or even take polls when everybody knows there is going to be a YUGE blue wave:-)
