Trump Finally Backs This Candidate

President Trump has finally endorsed the GOP candidate in New Jersey, who could have a serious shot at unseating Bob Menendez. Fox News reports:

President Trump endorsed New Jersey GOP Senate candidate Bob Hugin Tuesday, in an 11th-hour effort to drive Republican voters to the polls in key states.

“Bob Hugin, successful all of his life, would be a Great Senator from New Jersey. He has my complete and total Endorsement! Get out and Vote for Bob,” Trump tweeted Tuesday afternoon.

The president, who has made a slew of endorsements in gubernatorial, congressional and Senate races, had yet to endorse the Republican candidate from New Jersey, who is in an uphill fight against incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez.

It’s not clear whether Hugin even welcomes the presidential support. The wealthy pharmaceutical executive has sought to distance himself from Trump throughout his campaign. In a recent interview, he would not say whether he wants Trump’s backing.

This last minute endorsement will likely energize some uncertain Republicans without encouraging Dem turnout to counter it in this blue state.

Does this mean Hugin is the lesser of two evils ? We have had plenty of that for 59 years

Ask yourself, who selects Candidates to run and who cast the votes to put them in office. Sorry Gail but the buck stops with each of us. I don’t see the world’s only perfect man, Jesus running for office anytime soon.

When I voted in Michigan today, no one even asked to see my ID. Gave me the form to fill out, and as I was fumbling for my license, they handed me my ballot. Anyone could have said they were me and voted without ID. This will be one fixed election — at least in Michigan.

Thats how Hillary won the popular vote in 2016, 3,000,000 illegal voters voted for the Democratic Communist Party. She lost the electoral vote, thank God for that. But the Democratic Communist Party is a party of lies and defamation and they never stop lying about or defaming their political opposition. In short, they stink to high heaven. Remember this, a vote for a Democrat is a vote for Communism, it’s just as simple as that. Go Trump ! Sincerely, Marty Korab

Republicans need all the help they can get and mobilizing President Trump supporters can certainly help. New Jersey is a critical State and the Republicans need to unseat Menendez
