Jerseyfag here.
POTUS choosing to rally in Wildwood was genius. He knows the area. Kellyanne knows the area. And if you grew up in or around Jersey yourself, with a family who could only afford a drive and cheap motel down the shore for vacation, chances are you went to Wildwood at least one summer in your life. It's a resort town with a boardwalk and beachside amusement park. Not degenerate like Atlantic City. Not stuffy like Cape May. Most of the places are mom-and-pop and literally come out of the 50s. Or at least look like it. You want to see American culture at its finest, it's there. Wildwood is for blue collar families. Just like POTUS.
That said, NJ is redder than you think. Anon thought POTUS had a shot in '16. Look at the results map. It was far from a wash. The problem areas are loaded with illegals and stupid white collar yuppies. We had Soros voting machines. But the Trump lawn signs always outnumbered the Hillary signs. Some were home-made billboards outside of stores. Some were flags off the backs of pickups. I went to Cape May last summer and saw nothing but TRUMP flags on the boat masts in the marina. I drove down main street in an old stomping ground up north last week and saw a flag and big sign in the window of a business that did not in '16. NJ is not lost.
But…our current governor is globalist banker shill. Just like Corzine. The banker fucks promise all kinds of big pension gains to the unions, who then fuck everybody over by siding with the rest of the welfare class. That's how we got Meatball Christie, because taxes were that bad. I believe we got the new putz because the woman running against him, Christie's lieutenant governor, wouldn't full-out endorse Trump. Big mistake. Anon don't fully trust Van Drew's transformation, but I'll say one thing, if you're a Republican running in Jersey, you'd better endorse POTUS' agenda, or the voting turnout will suck. It's time to go full-MAGA.
