Suuuuure. Anyway, Menendez will definitely win by an underwhelming margin, but if candidate quality matters so much more than the partisan lean of a state, why isn't he losing by significantly more than any other incumbent Democrat?
It's obvious that the fact that this is a stubbornly Democratic state that's facing a blue wave is going to save Menendez.
That's exactly my point. The fact that New Jersey is a blue state and that this year is going to be Democratic-friendly have more impact on this race than Menendez being a terrible candidate.
