Democrats In an "All Hands on Deck Scramble" to Save Corrupt, Underage-Prostitute Curious Bob Menendez

What a dick.

Democrats are poised to win a number of governorships across the country and perhaps control of the House on Tuesday, thanks in large part to a suburban backlash to President Trump. But in a state rich with commuters and cul-de-sacs, party leaders are being forced to mount a last-minute, all-hands-on-deck effort to rescue Mr. Menendez's candidacy and preserve their long-shot dreams of a Senate majority.

In New Jersey, many of the suburbanites who are backing Democratic House candidates from Republican-leaning areas are still uneasy about embracing Mr. Menendez after his 2017 federal corruption trial, which ended in a mistrial. And these voters have been reminded of that case most every day by a monthslong, $30 million ad campaign financed by Bob Hugin, a wealthy former pharmaceutical executive who is Mr. Menendez's Republican opponent.

So, in an already difficult election year for Senate Democrats, when they are defending 10 states Mr. Trump carried, the party was forced to spend significant time, money and energy attempting to retain a seat in a state Hillary Clinton carried by 14 points.

New Jersey's leading Democrats --including Mr. Booker, who has been spending much of his time out of state preparing for a widely expected presidential bid and grabbing strange men's dicks in public bathrooms -- are pleading for voters to rally behind Mr. Menendez. The senator's campaign has sought to highlight the stakes by broadcasting a commercial portraying a vote for Mr. Hugin as a vote for Mr. Trump.

And most remarkably, Senate Majority PAC, a principal Democratic super PAC, has spent about $7 million on commercials in the expensive New York and Philadelphia television markets in a similar attempt to link Mr. Hugin to Mr. Trump. (The figure at the center of Mr. Menendez's trial, Salomon Melgen, routed $600,000 through the same PAC to the senator in his 2012 re-election).

I may have stealth-edited in a more accurate presentation of Corey "Let me grab up on your T-Bone" Booker.
