“Is this the same Steve Lonegan that was one of the most anti-Trump people during the campaign?”
Yes… but not what you seem to be implying.
.
Lonegan was pro Ted Cruz (that’s why he was “against” Trump), Now that Trump is in he fully supports him even though Trump wasn’t his first choice in the primaries.
Lonegan is a solid guy if you believe in Republican values like tax cutting, etc and he aligns with Trumps agenda.
.
If you are a supporter of the Trump agenda (which it seems like you are) then a Lonegan victory would help implement it.
If you are a McCain, McConnel, Murkowski, Graham, Flake type Republican then Lonegan might not be for you in the primary.
If you are a Democrat then it does not matter who the Republicans put up since you’ll be voting “D” anyway…
You should have stopped at your initial answer “yes” it’s the same Steve Lonegan.
Dig out the tape, Lonegan was bat sh!t crazy against Trump, and now he does a fundraiser embracing Trump.
Just the kind of opportunistic politician we don’t need. Already have a giant phony holding the office.
As for my voting (D) That’s really really really funny.
I’m not worried about how I will vote, I’m worried about how my neighbors will vote.
I wan’t to have the most conservative Republican nominated that can WIN.
That’s not crazy Steve Lonegan.
While I’m not in the (D) column, “Ridgewood Taxpayer” is right about Lonegan being “kind of opportunistic politician we don’t need”. He ran in Bergen and lost. So he moves to Ocean County and loses there. Now he comes back to Bergen for another bite at the apple. This guy is a Joke!
He may not be able to win due to the volume of batshit Democrats living in the area, but he is a solid guy – one who would be an asset if elected.
Bilbo11, I’d rather term it as consistent. Since his mayoralty, his election victory record is the same as Mr. Blutarsky from Faber College… ZERO.POINT.ZERO.
You democraps whine about someone moving within the state ?
How come you didn’t complain when crooked Hillary moved to ny to run for senator since she could never get electe from Arkansas where she lived?
A solid Conservative. Hands down. Regardless of the horse that he backs he now supports the winner. 100%.
7:32: You’re comparing apples to oranges.
1) As I said, I’m not in the D column, so your ‘democrap’ label doesn’t apply.
2) As to Clinton moving, she did that in NY, and as a NJ resident I can’t do anything about that. But as a NJ (and Bergen County) resident, I can do something about Lonegan. I think we have better choices
No republican however conservative or moderate can win anymore. The amount of liberal lunatics has reached sick levels.
