Hillary Clinton to stump for Bob Menendez in the most ethically backwards campaign event of all time
Washington Examiner ^ | September 6, 2018 | by Philip Wegmann

Eighteen counts of bribery have scared many Democrats away from Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., but they didn’t scare away Hillary Clinton. The failed presidential candidate is coming to New Jersey to campaign for the ethically challenged and politically beleaguered incumbent senator.

“I am honored to ask you to join me for a Women for Menendez Evening Reception with special guest Hillary Rodham Clinton in support of my re-election campaign!” Menendez wrote to his supporters in an email. “This exciting event will take place on Monday, October 15th at 6:00 PM in Jersey City, NJ.”

The exciting event will also be really, really expensive. A plate ranges from $500 to $5,400, which is alarming until you remember that Menendez has expensive tastes. The senator was credibly accused of running an immigration racket. He provided visas for several of the girlfriends of convicted fraudster Salomon Melgen, and that wealthy ophthalmologist in turn provided him with flights on a private jet, nights in Paris, and rounds of golf at private clubs. If it wasn’t for a mistrial, Menendez would likely be behind bars.

It is a smart move for a politician like Menendez, who clearly doesn’t care about things like ethics. His numbers are down in New Jersey, and she won New Jersey during the general election. Maybe Clinton can help Menendez turn his campaign around, or maybe Republican challenger Bob Hugin will get to repurpose a winning line: Lock them up.

The star is born again Hillary. The media adores her. The public loves her. The voters didn’t elect her.

The zero consciousness psychopaths campaign arround while the media aids in zeroing out the brains of their followers

Fascism always requires such zeroing of the brain as a prior step, as in the words of Karl Marx, bashing your brains on the concrete walls justifies the means to create the most advanced progressed society

Some might take exception with the Backwards moniker, Progressive is a much better description.

NJ doesn’t love Hillary. They’d have voted for any Democrat over Trump.

Hugin is a good man. Despite the issues against him from his Celgene days, he did what a CEO is supposed to do; make the company profitable.

The fact that Menendez can even run a viable campaign is pathetic.

My Fearless Prediction for 2018 is that Senator Menendez will be cruising for a loss, and will pull a Torricelli Switch. Around about October 3, he will drop out of the race to be replaced by Chelsea Clinton, who will win at a walk, thus denying the Republicans a New Jersey Senate seat, once again.

“Around about October 3, he will drop out of the race to be replaced by Chelsea Clinton, “

Actually, I think they might bring back Torricelli.

I’d say the fact that Menendez is not winning this in a walk says the big blue wave may not happen.

A Torricelli Switch to Bob Torricelli?

Now that’s innovative thinking!

I still like Chelsea for the job. Something about my fascination with macabre humor really requires the worst possible person to be named to that seat.

I guess Hillary is relegated to sloppy seconds.

Chelsea Clinton is just a vacuous legacy mediocrity.

I think bringing in Torricelli to replace a candidate with unelectable “ethics” issues wins for worst possible person !

Actually I take that back Torricelli.

McGreevy or Corzine would also be strong contenders.
