| Description | On top of their toils, Somerset Democrats for years had to endure the added indignity of reading the words “long suffering” in front of their press-referenced organization, as if consigned to heartbreak, if not Sisyphean doom.
But that changed during the Trump era, when the local golf course-based game show host turned president doubled down on nativist diatribes, offending the tolerant traditions of this Central Jersey spill-zone politically defined by the likes of Christie Todd Whitman and Ray and Kip Bateman and prompting voters to look beyond the GOP. Whitman and Bateman never had any use for Trump, the former governor appearing virtually at the 2020 Democratic Convention in support of Democrat Joe Biden, and Bateman opting out of running for reelection this year to the state senate seat he won in 2007. |
