She travels from Middletown to Trenton nearly every day and has her own office down the hall from Gov. Phil Murphy. She has plum speaking roles at public events. And some political insiders privately refer to her as "co-governor."

New Jersey's new first lady, Tammy Murphy, is so hands on in her husband's fledgling administration that she helps shape policy.

Buy one and get the other free?

IIRC, Ms Rodham made a similar comment.

Great. And when the first criticism of her policies start, it will be because those ignorant, misogynist New Jersey voter’s can’t handle a “strong” woman.

Because when we elect politicians we automatically elect their spouses.

God help us if she’s another Hillary! Remember Bill Clinton telling us that America was so fortunate to get “two for the price of one” when he was elected? And the long national nightmare of the Clinton Crime Syndicate began.

‘She travels from Middletown to Trenton nearly every day’

What happened to the governor’s mansion?

If he ever gets to where he runs for President, she will be another Hillary.

Drumthwacket, the N.J. governor’s mansion, isn’t used that much because of the McGreevey saga I would say from 2002 to 2004.

Remember Gov. James E. McGreevey?

Murphy lost Middletown by around 62% to 38%. He lost Monmouth County big as well. Go live in Trenton you fool.

Middletown is a Republican enclave, I wonder how they feel.

Oh well.

Odin hear our prayer! No sooner do we almost rid ourselves of the insufferable Hillary than another filthy female democrat mushroom pops up in the pipeline. Well, at least in the near term at least she is the prick Murphy’s long day.
