Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!

Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.

It's almost as if political dynasties/neoptism/cronyism shouldn't be a thing. Fuck Trump. And fuck Menendez. And Kennedy. Bush, Clinton, Cheney, Paul, Ashcroft, and probably dozens of others that aren't coming immediately to mind.

Form the minute lil Robert declared he was running, the local media simply treated him as the heir to his dad's old seat. Because it was true. He cruised on connections, many of them because his daddy is a crook. I'm hoping Andy Kim can primary senior if he wriggles free again, but Murphy's wife is also running and would you look at that, now we're right back at unqualified people pretending they can govern just because of who they're related to.

Maybe one day junior will prove that he's not just riding coattails as a golden boy. But it's going to take more than an outburst to do it.

Aren't we all, though?
