New Q poll is bad news for Menendez, who will likely have the machine behind him but could be uniquely vulnerable to a primary.

He'll win easily, both in the primary and the general. It's New Jersey, people.

I wonder if progressives will try half as hard here as they will against Feinstein.

A liberal challenger to Menendez would need to make an issue out of George Norcross - the multimillionaire who essentially runs the state of NJ. But that would be incredibly difficult in a media market that Norcross has incredible sway in and among a Dem bench that he virtually owns.

Good thing he's running in a Trump midterm.

Good thing he's running in a Trump midterm.

In a state where Chris Christie has singlehandedly destroyed the Republican Party's credibility and electoral viability.

Fill me in here, Jerseyans: are there any viable names who could run Menendez out in a primary?

Alex Law as a primary challenge, maybe?

I'm fine with Wisniewski trying again here.

But really even if Menendez wins the primary he will beat whatever Republican is put in front of him.

Feinstein has a worse voting record, but of course both of these trash need to go.

I wish Steve Sweeney or Rob Andrews would primary him. State Democrats are asking for a competitive general election if they keep propping up Menendez.

As a New Jerseyite, just because people dont think he deserves re-election doesnt mean they wont vote for him.  Literally the only person I can see taking Menendez down in the primary is Richard Codey. A leftwinger from the Bernie wing needs to be able to win over working class minorities from Menendez, something I dont think will happen. Anybody thinking Menendez is as weak as Lautenberg would probably have a point if there was another Cory Booker, but theres not.

Doesn't New Jersey have a long history of reelecting people they don't like?

Menendez will be fine. Many New Jersey voters understand how important and prominent he has been as Senator.

How is Menendez not in Federal prison yet?

He must be well-connected or something.

Like McConnell, he'll be fine no matter how unpopular he is.

"How is Menendez not in federal prison yet?" because we have a justice system that is based off innocent until proven guilty.

I can't believe that many do.

Menendez is a crook, and actually makes me lean towards supporting term limits

Mendenez is a Cuban-American, he's needed with the Democratic leadership in the Senate to attrack Latino voters. He's probably not going anywhere, anytime soon. Just like Ige of Hawaii.

Easily my least favorite D Senator. I don't care what wing of the party his primary challenger is coming from, this guy doesn't deserve to be in the Senate, let alone the Foreign Relations Committee.
