Why Bob Menendez is in the political fight of his life

https://nypost.com/2018/08/22/why-bob-menendez-is-in-the-political-fight-of-his-life/

One explanation is provided in the same poll, which shows “ethics in government” as Garden State voters’ top issue.

Those voters, says Quinnipiac analyst Mary Snow, “are sending a clear message: They are troubled by the ethics cloud hanging over” Menendez.
Democratic voters, recall, sent Menendez the same message in June’s primary, when nearly 40 percent cast their ballots for an unknown who spent no money and didn’t even bother campaigning.

It’s not all that hard to figure out why: Menendez may have dodged a legal bullet when prosecutors opted not to retry him after his first corruption case ended in a hung jury.
But voters seem to have reached their own verdict on the nearly $1 million in gifts and donations he took from Dr. Salomon Melgen, and the favors that Menendez then provided his “pal.”

A brief overview of the case against Menendez:

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. In their mind, NJ Senator Menendez was just doing the bidding of a Florida businessman because he's a nice guy. And the Florida businessman was flying Menendez around on his jet and giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars because Bob is so likeable. The trial ended with a hung jury.

A month later Melgen was sentenced to 17 years in prison for Medicare fraud.

I’m not sure it really matters which of these a$$holes wins. Hugin is the one who bills himself as a “Different Kind of Republican”. He’s pro-choice, anti-2A and virulently anti-Trump. He’d vote with Schumer about 75% of the time.

If this was a Republican incumbent with a Democrat challenger, the headline would have been “Menendez weakens, momentum favors Democrat challenger.”

Oh please. Menendez will win easily. As far as the GOP is concerned, New Jersey is finished - put a fork in it!

Good. That SOB needs to be voted out since the scales of justice are tipped in NJ towards his ilk.
