I think Hillary also loses CT and PA - puts Trump over the top.

I went up to Sayreville for a memorial day party at a friends house there.

I live in Ocean County, about an hour drives

I saw tons, tons of Trump signs, mostly in Ocean and Monmouth Counties

Even saw many hand made signs on 4x8 plywood “Trump” “Make America Great Again” looks like someone was making these signs and putting them in people’s yards. Really nice looking signs and very big.

Saw some of the normal signs as well. When I got into Sayreville I saw two Bernie Signs, one was outside by the drive entrance to a Superfund Site and the other was on a vacant lot in the town itself.

Strange how Bernie people don’t wan their own signs in their own front yards.....

Saw a couple Trump signs in liberal Middlesex county as well, but in front of actual homes, not vacant lots or toxic waste dumps.

However, I never saw a single Hillary sing, not a single one.

I never saw this before in New Jersey, especially in primary season. Interesting, people are fired up about Trump. This is a good thing for us.

Any Democrat should be up 15 to 20 points in New Jersey; but she’s not “any” Democrat and Trump is not “any” Republican.

New Jersey is in what I call the “second tier” blue states after California, Massachussetts and New York;

Meaning that it would take a political earthquake for a GOP presidential candidate to win NJ; (The “first tier” states are basically hopelessly lost);

IF this is an accurate read of the NJ electorate, it spells big, big trouble for the Democrat candidate, because while NJ may well remain blue, other states that are a lot more evenly divided might not ... (or so we can hope)...

I was in Sea Bright and Monmouth Beach this weekend and saw a yard completed decked out in Make America Great Again signage along with a few Crooked Hillary signs. Trump will be competitive in NJ.

If Trump wins Jersey in the general it will be an early night.

Trump may not win NJ, but if he's polling close enough to where Hillary will feel the need to divert time & resources to this state, that's less she'll have elsewhere.

It's an uphill battle though, as voter fraud in Newark, Camden, Trenton, Paterson, etc., will be rampant.

New Jersey would vote for Karl Marx.
