What the hell happened to Bob Menendez in Tuesday's primary?
Nj.com ^ | June 6, 2018

Lisa McCormick's surprisingly strong showing against U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez in Tuesday's Democratic primary begs the question: What about Bob?

McCormick, a virtual unknown who did not report spending any money on the race, received the support of almost 4 in 10 Democratic voters.

While Menendez, D-N.J., was never seriously threatened with losing his party's nomination for another Senate term, his performance wasn't a good sign coming on the heels of his Senate Ethics Committee admonishment and a criminal corruption trial that ended in a hung jury before the charges were dropped.

If Menendez is losing in September he can tap out for a stronger Democrat. There is precedent in NJ. /s

Menendez carries a lot of dirty laundry, even though he and the media are happy to ignore most of it. Even some Dems may have had enough of the scandals and Bob’s imperial attitude.

If anyone has hopes that the child molesting Menendez is too vile and corrupt to be reelected in in the great state of New Jersey, dispel those delusions immediately. Due to widespread, endemic fraud, a statewide Republican needs 57% of the vote on election day. Menendez stinks on ice but he will return to the Senate.

The fact that this pervert is still in the senate and not in prison shows that the US is well on the way to becoming a banana republic. The Democrat voters of NJ should hang their heads in shame.

The man is a pervert and a criminal. Term limits are the solution to this problem.

I heard he is underwater, but winning 60/40 is bad news. If the eGOP doesn’t step in it they could win this, and MI ( Stabenow ) and MA ( Warren ). Go ahead think I am crazy, we are in the land of Trump, anything is possible....

I am hearing rumors that the INS will have agents posted outside polling stations in Hudson, Essex, Union, Middlesex, Passaic, Mercer and Camden Counties looking for “undocumented” voters.

It looks like the R nominee is Bob Hugin. It looks like he’s got as much money as Menendez anyway. I wouldn’t bet on him though.
