Political commercials, no matter which party, are all the same. Some contain facts that are ignored by the voting public. While many spread lies as most of them do. The name of the game is to play a smear campaign against your opponent. It's up to us, as voters, to decide which candidate is up to the task to represent citizens in the more honorable fashion they can.
I pay no mind to the commercials and any leaflets that arrive in my mailbox get thrown away immediately.

menendez squeaked by only because of the trial in MD which recently changed the rules for bribes and corruption.


A legal technicality saved the guy whose biggest support is from trial lawyers.


BM will be re-elected because of the gerrymandered district, 'he is same background as us so we like him no matter what voters' will win the day.


Consider 35% of registered voters participated in the gov elections which means approx. 18% of all registered voters elected murphy. That is a stunning revelation about Nj actually sickening.


NJ elections allow the few to make the choice for the many who then complain about that choice.


Murphy's election numbers have to be broadcast from the rooftops to wake up the dem and repub voters.


their apathy is the reason nj is last on lists of best places and first on lists of worst places. No room for complaint re elected legislators, the elections are about the voters.


the best solution to voting apathy in NJ is to allow betting on election outcomes along with the sports betting. Not a fan of sports betting but will enthusiastically endorse election betting.


Dueling commercials are what politicians do. They change no one's mind. just provide money for campaigns and associated businesses that turn out media commercials and posters. Let's see who these guys are related to.


Sent a note to BM about the time holder was up for USAG. BM regaled in the thought EH would be the 1st AA usag and, get this, the guy who would restore faith in the justice system after the GWB administration lost it.


Holder was a horrible candidate as seen by his weak responses. No manager would hire the guy based on that 'interview'. Holder worked with Clinton to free the 1990s Bernie Madoff, Marc Rich, and a group of PR terrorists who killed people.


Shows BM's lack of insight and lost focus on what is important. Like a Columbian drug lord who provides a life saving operation for a kid in the local village, BM has done some good....which is out of balance with his consistent sleazy behavior and many investigations and trials.. of course the least number of voters will not be outnumbered by the larger majority who detest BM and will not vote.


NJ is safe from reformation.

Menendez is a US Senator, which means that his "district" is the entire state of NJ.
Please explain how an entire state can be gerrymandered.

But this is NJ. Voters here will still vote for him because he has a “D” after his name.

And that is why we are the sorriest state in the Union.


We breed ......

Bob Hugin made drugs that saved lives.

Menendez is horrible and takes jabs at Trump like he thinks he is witty.

The choice is clear. Hugin.
