Virginia-born Woodrow Wilson was governor of New Jersey, like Christie. Grover Cleveland was born and died in New Jersey, but his political career was in New York. That’s New Jersey’s claim to presidential fame.
Wilson was wrong to get us into that war. In a way, though, he was something like the first neo-con. The mistakes he made were repeated by LBJ, GWB, and now by Biden. It’s a wise child who knows his own father.
It wasn’t Wilson. The public wanted to go to war.
