Dems scratching their heads over how a diverse NJ stronghold flipped for Trump
NY Post ^ | 11/6/24 | Steve Janoski

Democratic insiders are scratching their heads of a shocking flip in traditionally liberal New Jersey. Diverse, suburban Passaic County, which went 74% for Hillary Clinton in 2016, voted for president-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday.

The hourglass-shaped region in the northern part of the state is usually true-blue thanks to big down-county cities like Paterson.

But the sea of blue dried up on Trump seized a stunning victory with 95,0000 votes to Vice President Kamala Harris’ 89,000.

This was a big election, Trump won Passaic, I know the pearl clutchers, will say that Trump lost New Jersey, but he came close to winning.

Flame away.

It gives hope for future elections. New Jersey could be ripe for growing Republican support in the future.

Ocean and Monmouth are solid Trump counties. Most of South Jersey outside of Atlantic City and Camden are solid red. Bergen county which borders NY used to be solid red but has become a blue stain. Western Jersey flipped back to Trump. It’s the cities and Bergen that suck.

Kamala was a low IQ puppet and drone, and the DC uniparty is on marxist autopilot, promoting forever wars abroad, and insane woke social-engineering at home.

All while they blow-out America’s debt and make their cronies rich

Its become so obvious, even some liberals are noticing.

It’s really not that difficult....maybe that’s their problem.

The American people are sick and tired of woke bullshit and millions of illegals being supported by our tax dollars while at the same time bringing their crime and disease to our country.

Wasn’t such a long walk after all was it?

Liberals are mentally incapable of diagnosing their political failures.

It’s always someone else’s fault.

It’s never their policies.

If a certain segment of their coalition didn’t vote for them, then they have something wrong with them..........................

Trump only lost New Jersey by six points, the best showing for a Republican in that state for over thirty years. If the GOP can make it a competitive state in a presidential election it will force the Democrats to spend money in areas that should be safe for them already.

Their mindset is in the title..."Diverse" means non-Republican.

"Real conservatism wins every time it's tried"

Democrats will learn nothing form this massive spanking they got.

Only a few got it. The rest think the answer is to double down on everything that caused them to get massively rejected.

I hope they keep doubling down because it is a win win for us.

Maybe not enough people wanted to vote for traitors like Commie-La and ChiComTimpon.

I believe I heard Scot Presler say he is expanding his registration/GOTV operation to NJ. Without his efforts, Trump may not have won PA.

The RNC would be wise to provide the funding Presler needs to get going in NJ and elsewhere.

Since at least FDR Dems have built their voter coalition by telling them election after election “Send me to DC and here are the things I am going to give you”.

Trump turned that on it head. His tax message was brilliant. It told working class Democrat, “Send me to DC and here are the things I am going to stop DC taking from you

Their Governor is the Official Dickhead of the Planet Earth. He’s preparing to take on half of the population of America by himself. Needs a shrink bad.
