Why Blumenthal? Why not go for someone more visible, more left-leaning and more vulnerable (Sherrod Brown, for instance)?
Seems weird to pick him. Maybe they don't like him because he's Jewish?
Trump has got into it with him a few times before, mainly because he's on the Judiciary Committee and overseeing a lot of the investigations.
Trump has beef with Blumenthal's father in law Peter Malkin who owns the Empire State Building.
I've been seeing a lot of right wing trolls go after Blumenthal due to the fact he met his wife when she was 16 and he in his 30s. They didn't start dating until she went to college.
