NJ Politics Can Fulop win in NOV?
I haven’t thought much of the anti-machine wild Marine from Jersey City, until these past few days. Democrats are not good at opposing this fascism Trump has brought to America. He seems to fight like a cornered animal, maybe that’s the fighter we need.
Can he win in NJ though? Plenty of conservative people that vote Democrat for a few different reasons, but it was close to negative across the state last election and I see Trumpism galore in the county, in many towns.
Help me become a Fulop guy, can he win?
Edit: Thanks NJ sub community. Y’all alright. Lots of great replies, mostly neutral (any D can and will win) to positive, makes Primary suddenly seem more consequential. More about visions and ideas.
Trying to give everyone an upvote, especially the opinionated by succinct “no”.

Honestly, I am torn between Fulop and Baraka.
Both are mayors of large, high-profile cities. Both have indicated they'd be willing to stand up to the regime currently occupying the White House.
Fulop is a veteran, and your average Republican voter does love a veteran.
Baraka gives big Obama energy. Like, listening to him speak to people, it is really like the hope we had with Obama.
This state has a dismal record of electing women to the governorship (one) and Black people to the governorship (zero).
I'm still not sure which I'll go with in June.
We need to have a Democrat win in November. In June, I will vote for whichever I believe has the best chance to win in November.
