It’s too late.
Democrats are tied to Hillary and Menendez forever.
AMEN !
Down the toilet bowl.
Chuck U is stupider than a bunch of rocks blowing money to save a seat Democrats should win in a walk.
And we keep on hearing how badly the country wants to repudiate Trump.
Yeah, right.
Me, too.
Ain’t it awful. Not.
Not sure. They are both mentioned in many articles. I think you are correct.
I’d love to see a Skin of his Teeth Loss for Sleaze Bob.
One SO close we get a recount, so I can watch the Rats LOSE TWICE.
in the good old days, a latino senior Senator could travel to the Caribbean and have sex with as many underage girls as he wanted, and no one would have batted an eye.
No wonder the Dems are worried.
Hey, np, so nice to see you this evening!
Can you visualize sparks from those little fireworks sparklers emanating from their ears if Republicans really do win in New Jersey? My face breaks out in the widest of grins at the prospect! Ha!
