NJ Republican Congressional candidate Loses Endorsement

[peggysue2]

Seth Grossman running for NJ's 2nd district has lost his GOP endorsement due to . . . bigotry and how it has no place in society, let alone American politics.



Apparently, bigotry is okay in the White House but not in the House of Representatives. How quaint.

Grossman has made a number of provocative statements during his long history of trying to run a viable campaign in the Garden State. However, his more recent comments about 'diversity being a bunch of crap' and African Americans being the biggest threat to blacks and non-blacks alike was a step too far.

I suspect the Republican's internal polling in the district was a huge factor and perhaps some other nasty details about Grossman are floating round. Grossman has not withdrawn his candidacy, so it remains to be seen what further steps will be taken. But at this point his funding and GOP support is over. Pretty much, Dead Man Walking.

4. Nope!

Grossman fits pretty well, methinks.

2. Doing a lot of snickering in NJ today

That seat is currently republican. The Democratic will win. Our ground game is extremely strong in ALL of the districts in NJ.

5. Good to hear

I haven't lived in NJ for about 20 years but I was somewhat concerned about the 2nd district, a conservative area. Great to hear Grossman has blown himself up and that the Dem's Jersey Game is in full gear.

My native state is looking far better than it has in recent years.
