Hugin is the most smug deceitful - ethically bankrupt posturing weasel imaginable -
Hugin is good at saying anything it takes - he learned a lot about that as a part of a company that BROUGHT THALIDOMIDE back into availability. Yeah - THALIDOMIDE - the cause of thousands and thousand thousands of birth deformities.
Now to be fair - the very very specific indications for which this drug is now available - and the very tight controls and monitoring can be justified.
But Hugin has gone on an ego trip & taken the lessons in complex messaging and how to say the unspeakable and has perverted them to run a heinous and highly disingenuous & deceitful campaign.
Hugin’s ads have gotten down to pure GOP hateful rhetoric - lies/distortions and fear.
Happily voted early by mail, highly recommend it!
Now there’s an endorsement worthy of Bob Mendendez. He’s just lucky they didn’t say, “choke it down now, barf it up later”. I hope he wins but I’m not happy about it.
This is precisely what they should have said. Because in the next Democratic primary they should endorse Menendez’ challenger (let’s hope Hugin loses).
Anyone voting voting for Hugin should be required to sign a statement saying
“I realize that Bob Hugin will tell me absolute total LIES to get my vote - and in the future he will be voting for things that will grossly harm me, my community, my state and the nation - in order to benefit Bob Hugin … because ego-crazed Bob Hugin fantasizes that if he can gain a Senate seat, he might be able to leap into a subsequent run for the Presidency”
"The question is which candidate can best fight Trump’s toxic policies, his grotesque appeals to racial and ethnic tribalism, and his corrosive attacks on the pillars of our democracy, starting with the rule of law. "
now that’s some newspaperin’
take note AP see how you can tell the truth about both sides and make clear what is in the reader’s best interests?
While I’ve told to chalk all of this bulls–t to time dilation, seriously, how many months are really in a year?
sounds like Hugin is Rick Scott’s first cousin
“Vote for the crook. It’s important.”
ETA: Sorry, forgot the link to the historical context here:
I do hope this is Menendez’s last run. Mikie Sherrill (likely to win in NJ-11) might be ready to replace him in six years.
I have made it through the entire campaign season to this point without seeing a single political ad on tv. This is a point of some pride and mental hygiene.
Star-Ledger whaled on Christie the entire 8 years of his Governorship. Kept a lot of us sane.
Tom Moran is the brother of a friend of mine. Despite my being from Michigan originally, and having lived in California for 30+ years, I used to read Tom’s columns religiously during Chris Christie’s regime – just for the sheer pleasure of it.
