A top Republican state lawmaker says there's a reason Gov. Phil Murphy is battling with his fellow Democrats over the state budget: He's planning to run for president. State Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick said Murphy has to be talking to a "national audience" as he continues to push of this tax hikes despite opposition from top state lawmakers who hail from his own party. "He must be talking to somebody," Bramnick, R-Union, said during a news conference with top New Jersey Republicans in Trenton on Thursday morning to highlight the budget fight.

Phil Murphy has the money to win.

He’s a wealthy limousine liberal.

He won NJ, he could win America.

He’s too far-left politically on guns.

NJ is fairly leftist, at least in the cities (see map below), but Murphy won easily only because Christie had so thoroughly poisoned the well for Republicans this go round. God himself would have lost if he ran as a Republican in Jersey after Christie.

Murphy is going to ram this state right into a fiscal iceberg. He would be the stupidest politician in the area if we didn't have DeBlasio right across the river.

In addition, Murphy's looks like Fire Marshall Bill and is trying to make NJ a sanctuary state. His national prospects are zero.
