Bro, you ever been to NJ?
The north has mountains of blacks and liberals.
Not to be a downer but...the south part?
There’s nothing here.
I think I paid $40 in tolls to take my kids to Six Flags once, other than that .... no
I’ve been there, Debbie Downer. Can’t say I enjoyed it. Actually there have always been a lot of blue-collar Reagan Democrat types in New Jersey. I think the Trumpocrat vote is being very seriously underestimated this cycle nationwide.
SoJersey is more rural, I see Trump signs everywhere. But, I’ve lived all over the state and central and north are strongly Dem. It’ll be a miracle for Trump to get NJ.
Yeah. NJ is not in the cards this year. Newark and JC pretty much ensure that. Thing is, years ago Bergen County was a reliable conservative county which gave Republicans a shot to be competitive, but even this has been overrun with Democrats and other sordid characters.
How many EVs does he get for winning South Jersey?
Jersey is doable
Those blacks in Newark and the north are sick and tired of politics as usual. They hate Hillary, she is a do nothing talker and evaporates the moment she wins. Trump is talking about school choice, a big issue in Newark, the parents of Newark want this, but can’t have it because the NJEA and the Democrats won’t allow it. Why? Because it diverts large sums of cash out of the public NJEA/Democrat schools and puts that money to good use in charter or private schools. Can’t have that, plus those kids might learn something beyond democrats are good and republicans are racists.
That message is resonating with African American community, if it turns into votes for Trump, this makes New Jersey competitive. New Jersey is a sleeper swing state, it has the demographic Trump is winning with, fed up blacks, blue collar and gray collar workers. That is Trump’s base.
Plus Black Lives Matters, just closed the upper deck of the George Washington Bridge and created a major traffic jam. Those were NJ voters in that jam, and you don’t mess with a man’s commute, now he has to work extra hours tonight, get a verbal thrashing from his boss, make arrangements for someone to pick up his kids and won’t get home to around 11 pm tonight. So yes, if a Trump vote will restore law and order.... It is what is going through people’s minds right now.
Hey, hey, hey! I'm from South Jersey and there is too something there! Sand and pine trees...
In North Jersey at least half the radio stations are in Spanish. But still Republicans like Christie can win NJ.
There are plenty of pine trees. :=)
“There’s nothing here.”
Au contraire, mon ami! Aren’t you forgetting the Pine Barrens?
I live in Jersey and...well, yeah; you’re right.
