All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

Lets hope that they have a long memory, then...

I hope so too. People usually have the attention span of a 3 year old.

My guess would be that the most prominent Democrat in New Jersey right now is Cory Booker. And I could definitely see him running for Governor.

I don't think so, not that I wouldn't vote for him if he did, or that I don't think he'd make a good governor. I just think that he might have a problem with the NJ State legislature, and I'd worry that he might not be able to push past the roadblocks to get anything done. Murphy is barely able to make inroads, but even he is having problems.

I could be wrong, but I think Booker is going to stay in the Senate until a Cabinet position opens up or something similar.

If I'd wager on any Democrat running after Murphy, who is up for re-election, it would probably be Craig Coughlin.

Florida governor: Flags will be at half-staff for Limbaugh

It’s appropriate: Living trash honoring dead trash.

Trump called him and told him to do it.

People have such low standards for invoking that tribute these days. Next thing you know it will be the My Pillow Guy if he kicks the bucket

Which is a more prestigious position: a state governor or a U.S. Senator?

Besides, governors are four-year positions; U.S. Senator is a six-year term.

You're giving some people too much credit there.

Is Cancun Ted impersonating his lips accessory Trump and throwing fireplace logs at freezing Texans right now? Or just in a bunker tweeting about Antifa causing global warming like a common TV sci-fi villain?

Some states term limit governors, but federal reps of any kind don't have to deal with that. Not sure about NJ laws concerning that, though.

Here you go.

New Jersey governors are restricted to two consecutive terms in office, after which they must wait four years before being eligible to run again.

New Jersey Constitution, Article V, Section 1, Paragraph 5
No person who has been elected Governor for two successive terms, including an unexpired term, shall again be eligible for that office until the third Tuesday in January of the fourth year following the expiration of the second successive term.

As far as discussing Sen. Booker running for New Jersey Governor... I think he's doing to much good in the Senate. I would love for Sen. Menendez to retire at the end of his current term and Gov. Murphy to run for his seat, though.

I wouldn't. I mean, I prefer Murphy as Governor. If anyone was going to run for Menendez's seat, I'd rather it be Tom Malinowski, though another possibility is Sheila Oliver. Either of those two would make great Senators. I think Oliver is being under-utilized in the Lt Gov role.

Not that I haven't day-dreamed about running myself

Either he deleted it, or the screenshot is fake.

It's fake, please delete.

Newsmax attacked Champ Biden and it is not going well for them.

Being German, I take attacks on German shepherds very personally.

Because if there's one thing people love, it's abuse towards dogs. Especially rescue dogs.

Conservatism: Yes, cruelty is the point.
