The GOP candidate may lose because the Republicans in DC want to raise taxes by eliminating deductions for state and local taxes. That will pound middle class voters in NJ. Nice going Paul Ryan.

This is a bad thing?

Tell your state governments to stop raising state taxes then.

These Rat Governors should have their feet held to the fire when it comes to their spending.

You're not getting it. The reason why blue states are fighting to keep their deductions is so they don't have to be held accountable to the people in their states. They are free to raise taxes and spend wildly, knowing that taxpayers will agree because they get to deduct it from their federal taxes.

And before you turn around and say that I secretly want to keep my deductions, well you're wrong. Because I want ALL deductions, credits, and loopholes eliminated and switch to a hard 10%-15% flat income tax, which would probably raise more revenue than the current corrupt system the size of 25 Bibles.
