   Is Menendez Too Crooked Even for New Jersey?
By Jay Cost

September 7, 2018 6:30 AM

His Senate seat hinges on whom Garden State voters hate more: him or Trump.

This election is a tale of two chambers. In the House, Democrats are primed to make large gains, sweeping into a majority thanks to suburban voters who are sick of President Donald Trump’s antics. In the Senate, on the other hand, the Republicans appear to be in good shape, thanks to a highly favorable map that includes such GOP pickup opportunities as North Dakota, Missouri, Florida, and New Jersey.

Wait . . . New Jersey?

No, that is not a typo, nor is it a fever dream of a conservative deeply invested in the idea of keeping Chuck Schumer in the minority. New Jersey may very well be in play this year because the Democrats have renominated Senator Robert Menendez, easily the most crooked member of the upper chamber today, and one who must rank in the top tier through its whole history (which is really saying something!).

Last year, Menendez went on trial for corruption over his cozy relationship with Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist who is himself serving a lengthy sentence for defrauding Medicare to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. The specifics of Menendez’s alleged crimes are too unseemly to be detailed on the e-pages of what is a family magazine. Suffice to say that he was accused of doing favors in government for Melgen in exchange for personal luxuries and kickbacks.

Wilson actually came from Virginia.  He ended the legacy of Virginia being the Mother of Presidents.  After his term, he essentially guaranteed that Virginia would never provide another President again.

    Correct @Hoodat and though this Thread is about a sitting US Senator, I tried to note that he (Wilson) left the NJ Governorship to become President in 1913, quite clumsily.

Don't know why NJ would want a Klan-sympathizing racist Democrat like Wilson.  On second thought, nevermind.
