I suspect he was going to lose anyway, but I think he will now lose by 8-10 points in November. NJ is getting bluer anyway, but the Republican brand is dead other than with racists and criminals (which may be overrepresented in central NJ, but not enough to keep him in office).

Any other job in the world, you disappear for four months, you no longer have a job. In this case, people barely noticed. Seem like Congress is very much overpaid if this is the standard.

Right? I’ve never had the opportunity to take 3 months off paid by my employer whilst I seek help with depression. Bet if he had a D behind his name he’d have been drummed out in February. The double standards are everywhere

Exactly. I've had to fight for any accommodation for disabilities in school and work and have even been fired for calling in sick and then ended up in the hospital in full blown diabetic ketoacidosis. I doubt he will have any empathy for disabled people. It will be "I touched grass, you can to."

If you're pissed, imagine how his constituents feel. Even when he's showing up for work, he refuses to talk to anyone who'll ask him a simple question. Except for campaign contributors, of course. He has plenty of time for them.

any other regular ass person would have been fired after literally a week of this shit these are the kings, truly, eating on tax payer dime for four months while doing fuck all fuck you, Tom Kean Jr, and fuck your stupid dad too, he raised a slacking grifter. Eat dirt, scumbag

Im genuinely curious what he'll say but why would anyone believe him? "I had a liver transplant." "K. Why didn't you just say that?" "I was in rehab." "K. Why didn't you say that?" " I didn't wanna." "K. Why didn't you say that?" "I was abducted by aliens." "K. Why didn't you say that?"

I suspect there may have been a psychiatric break with electroshock therapy and other interventions. I have no basis for this, other than his being radio silent for 4 solid months.
