It kind of reminded me of Speaker of the House Tom Foley losing his Congressional seat in 1994. But at least Foley lost to a polished professional with some experience in politics.
On Tuesday, New Jersey’s longest-running state Senate president lost his seat to a truck driver, Edward Durr, who had no experience in politics and spent a total of $153 on his campaign ($66.64 at Dunkin Donuts to buy food and drinks for staff and $86.67 for paper flyers and business cards).

Obviously, one lesson is that state-wide and national environment means a LOT even in local elections. But what else can we glean from this almost unfathomable political event?

@sh76 saidPeople like change and they don’t like established political figures, or they really like truckers who like to carry concealed weapons.

@sh76 saidpeople are fed up with democrat lies and suppression of constitutional rights.

@kevcvs57 saidNow, now. Change is to make something different than it is now. So, in which direction, if you will, will go the change that you speak of. This is not that hard. I would hope that it would be in the direction of self-reliance, responsibility, hard work, charity, all the Republican/conservative credos. Note that these are not credos of dependent liberals. What are your credos, what change are you speaking of? Would your changes happen to encroach upon the freedom of others? Know that Freedom is a definite part of a free country, so don't be too fast in discounting it amongst our citizens.

@averagejoe1 saidWell, no wonder. If you were a tiny bit smarter, you'd know what he said.

@athousandyoung saidWAY too close for comfort there, though.
Democrat Murphy is still NJ Governor though
@averagejoe1 saidHow about the GOP treating the poor as actual human beings?

That would be a huge change.
"Freedom is a definite part of a free country, so don't be too fast in discounting it amongst our citizens."
Does that include the poor, or people of color? You discount their freedoms. Aren't they citizens too?
@suzianne saidYou suggest that some in our society do not have the same freedoms as others. I don’t get your meaning. Nor what you mean about ‘treating’ people.

Libs are a waffling un-specific bunch.
Please specify?
@averagejoe1 saidTry to be coherent, please.
Well, true, a liberal is indeed looking for comfort from dear leaders. His competitor might have caused libs to actually fend for themselves!!!!
Sorry, Suzianne, you walked right into that one , I could not resist
