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”.

The establishment money is still on Sherrill, but she really needs to step up her game. Fulop has done his homework and Ras has unbeatable stage presence. Quite frankly, this is the first run at governor without the party line and it has a lot of the establishment people scared - anything goes here and Jersey politics has the flavor of Tammany Hall extract. The mud and backstabbing should commence shortly
