    No, she’s right, jersey is a shithole and Christie is a giant piece of shit. The bad news is that he is a much more reasonable candidate than her.

      While I agree about Christie, have you ever lived in New Jersey, outside of the immediate New York suburbs? Or do you just drive through on the turnpike and think you’ve seen it?

          Cherry Hill is actually fairly wealthy, though the 70 and 38 corridors are typical suburban shopping areas. Camden has some rough areas, but they’ve really been working on turning things around for well over a decade now. For example, Camden had no violent George Floyd protests: the cops and the police chief marched with the protestors, listened respectfully to the people who gave talks and speeches, and ended the entire thing with a huge community barbeque and ice cream.
