New Jersey Democrats Embrace Extreme “Far-Left” Candidates For Governor

March 27, 2017

New Jersey’s field of Democrat candidates for the party’s 2017 gubernatorial nomination continues to embrace the extreme. This weekend, POLITICO New Jersey’s Matt Friedman noted that the Democrats running – including Goldman Sachs millionaire Phil Murphy – are all “pretty far-left.”

MATT FRIEDMAN: “The problem though, with running left in this campaign with the Democrats is that they’re all pretty far-left, including Phil Murphy, so you can try to out left each other only so much, they’re all pretty far in that direction.”

With a far left candidate as the likely Democrat nominee – someone who has developed a disturbing penchant for extreme hyperbole – New Jersey Democrats continue to demonstrate how out-of-touch with the mainstream they have become.
