JMWATS 116 Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Schumer and the Democrats should have expelled him from the Senate a long time ago. If he makes it on to the ballot in Nov he could ensure a Republican win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMWATS 116 Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 If Menendez is able to run as an independent it would make the race more interesting. The good people of NJ will elect the Senator they deserve in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU9377 5,137 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 He deserves prison. Nothing worse than someone that was able to skate by the first time and instead of changing his behavior, he decides to go all in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menendez says he will run as an Independent after dropping out in March. The county line voting system was upended by a court decision. (This I was unaware of.) Maybe Kim can unseat him. But Menendez is still running and still facing charges at the same time. Name recognition is still huge, AND Menendez still won after his last trial. https://www.cnn.com/election/2018/results/new-jersey 2018, Menendez was re-elected by 12 points, AFTER basically the same charges were brought against him then.
