Joe Piscopo For New Jersey Governor?

New Jersey’s fate seems to be a lefty governor once again after Chris Christie’s approval ratings have slipped into the twenties.

The perception is that Christie turned his back on the state while seeking a bigger fish fry, returning only to issue a gas tax hike.

The republican frontrunner is tied to Christie so closely it would be hard to shake off the stink. That leaves the democrat, Goldman Sachs executive Phil Murphy, a clear path.

Enter Joe Piscopo, who is planning on running as a republican even though he’s been a democrat his entire life. He’s been a conservative democrat, which, in New Jersey, is about all you can expect.

Piscopo is a staunch union supporter, but has been sounding more right-wing on his radio show. He traveled with the Trump campaign and has been hanging around with Roger Stone.

Are these true converts?

  1. I’ve heard him talk a few times and he sounds more like a throwback to the Democrats from the 50’s or early 60’s before the real rot set in. I think he’s smarter than Al Franken and may make a good Governor or, at the least, he couldn’t be worse.

  2. Here’s the WFB quote….
    “The wisest choice would be the one who would win. No sense running Mona Lisa in a beauty contest. I’d be for the most right, viable candidate who could win. If you could convince me that Barry Goldwater could win, I’d vote for him.”
