New Jersey GOP leaders ready to dump Trump ahead of critical 2022 midterms

With the Republican control of Congress in the palm of their hands as a red wave sweeps across America, New Jersey Republicans are positioning themselves in a rather strange spot, in the crosshairs of former President Donald J. Trump. The anti-Trump sentiment is growing among the GOP establishment, who let’s face it, went all-in on people like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and John Kasich in the 2016 primary.

It’s no secret to everyday Republicans living in New Jersey. The establishment Republican Party in New Jersey is fifty shades of purple with blue highlights. As the popular internet meme goes, this is a case of “Tell us you’re a RINO without saying you’re a RINO”.

One prominent Republican Blogger, Matt Rooney, who is idolized by the GOP establishment even once proposed “throwing Trump supporters over the wall” during the primary. The never-Trump contingent of New Jersey Republicans is now showing their faces again now that it’s safe to come out against the President. Or so they might think. The entire thing will probably come back to bite them in the end.

They sat idly as Joe Biden nuked the border. They did nothing when Joe Biden nuked the economy. They didn’t run to the press after Biden nuked personal medical freedom. They remained silent in the court of public opinion as Biden nuked public safety. Now, like cockroaches after a nuclear bomb war, they are starting to scurry out of the cracks and crevices of the post-Trump apocalyptic landscape that has become America.

If they think they can stop him, they are some of the most
ignorant people on the planet.

Bush League Republicans want their party back so they can continue to assist Democrats to import a permanent Democrat majority.

LOL, there is no GOP in Jersey. Only RATS that crossed over and ran as RINOS.

So a return of this?-——”went all-in on people like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and John Kasich in the 2016 primary.”

Someone hand me a tranquilizer. I’m getting really excited and I can’t calm down. /S

Some in the GOP are bigger enemies than many Dems.

F um. That should just join the Democrat party and be done with it.

They used to call NJ Republicans “Volvo Republicans” because they sped liberal conventional wisdom while being “fiscally conservative.” I now call them “face mask Republicans” out of the masks they wear when they go out, just like their Dem neighbors.

Oh, the Christine Todd Whitman Wing of the RINO party.

These are the same people who would vote for Christi Kreme over Donald Trump. Maybe the New York Times will come out in support of these sensible RINOs.

There isn't going to be much of a GOP ing New Jersey or anywhere else if the fraud isn't stopped.

From Nov 3, 2021 Bergen County, New Jersey From Red With 100% Of The Vote Counted Changed Back To Blue!

Just like in 2020, corrections and ballot dumps only favor Democrats.
