The gubernatorial showdown in New Jersey is over, and Rep. Mikie Sherill (D-NJ) has won. It’s a shame, as there was some real energy behind Republican Jack Ciattarelli, who came close to unseating incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy a few years ago. Ciattarelli was nabbing some surprising endorsements from local Democrats, unions, and even Jewish groups. Yet, it’s still deep blue New Jersey, and those entrenched Democratic roots were too difficult to uproot.

So much for “honor and integrity.” 🙄
Mikie lied. Mikie got caught. Now Mikie is hiding her disciplinary records because the truth of what really happened would be the end…
Sherill was struggling with black voters, which drew red flags from Democratic operatives. It wasn’t the best campaign. The congresswoman increased her net worth by millions, with no explanation. She refused to condemn Assata Shakur when she died in exile in Cuba; Shakur, a radical leftist, murdered a New Jersey State Trooper in the 1970s. Even Murphy condemned liberal groups mourning her death.

We already had a chance for voters to oppose Trump in New Jersey. Here's how it turned out.
Democrats are scared Republicans will thrust NJ into swing state status and spent ENDLESS resources and used OBAMA in… pic.twitter.com/LFTUzy8sC2
Yet, she did make her entire campaign about Trump. And Democratic voters are beyond deranged about that, even if it means more taxes and a degradation in the quality of life.

I don’t want to hear any complaining when everything goes belly up, though. New Jersey, you voted for this, and I can assure you, nothing is going to get better.
This is evil
