Must be that fine Rutgers education!
Lol, no comeback on my comment! Now I know you understand New Brunswick is a dump.

At this point, I've hung out in bars in Jamaica and Corona, black neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and Rahway, Linden, and just about every 'old man bar' in Queens you can think of.

So ... trying to convince me that New Brunswick is ghetto probably won't work too well.

But I wouldn't have wanted to hang out in NB in my 20s. I wouldn't have wanted to hang out in Morristown either.

Yeah, I don't think Morristown or New Brunswick are anywhere equal to a true city environment with a lot of stuff going on. Perhaps they are a bit better than other suburbs. If you want a real city environment, you need NY or at least Hoboken or JC. It is possible to commute back the other way if it's worth it to you to live where you want to be on the weekends. I even knew a guy who lived in a building right by the Lincoln Tunnel and drove down to Princeton every day. It was worth it to him to be in the city on the weekends.

Morristown - caucasion, business professionals, work hard play hard, more Trump supporters.

Of course there are plenty of exceptions but this is the vibe of the two towns.
Funny, must have missed the part where Clinton won Morristown 67-28 and even surrounding Morris Township 54-40.

It was the "caucasions" (sic) in Morristown who voted for The Trumpster.

The city center of Morristown is Democrat (younger single adults) mixed with mlk street/Speedwell ave which goes Democrat (It didn't hurt that Hillary made 3 stops (for money) in Morristown during the election). You are wrong, the surrounding area Morris Township which has the Morristown Address voted for Trump by a 20% margin. Morris County is deep Red.

Well you said Morristown is more Trump supporters, not Morris Township, so now you are changing what you said.

Alas, as far as Morris Township goes, I give you this map:

See how your town voted in the 2016 presidential election | NJ.com

The data says otherwise. Clinton won 54-40, unless you believe the map is lying to you in order to propagate some liberal agenda. Actually, Romney won Morris Township 51-48 in 2012, which is to say this was a town that swung left in 2016. It is correct to say Morris COUNTY went for Trump, but not Morristown or Morris Township (or for that matter Morris Plains). By again it would also be incorrect to call Morris County "deep red." Trump won 50-46. Again, even the County as a whole swung left from 2012, when Romney won 52-44.

These are all easily researchable numbers. Your 20 point spread is a pure lie.

Morris County Election Results


Want to see the results 116,672 votes for Trump and 102,343 votes for Clinton. Sorry I wasn't being 'accurate' enough that Trump was the victor by a landslide.

That link was last updated at 6 pm on November 9. Please see below for the FULL count.

50-46 for Morris County, with a higher vote count than what you linked. Think about it this way, out of 50 people, 25 voted for Trump, 23 for Clinton, and 2 for Other. Some landslide...

Sorry the final total was 125k Trump and 114K Clinton. The interesting thing you posted is if you take the cesspool of Dover out of the equation you have 122k Trump 86k Clinton.
