The Republican gubernatorial primary in New Jersey is turning into a food fight between RINOs and wingnuts as frontrunner Chris Christie widens his lead over megalomaniacal challenger Steve Lonegan, whose mouthpiece is veteran political operative Rick Shaftan. The latter recently threatened a primary challenge to Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce who has endorsed Chris Christie. This elicited a response from Republican State Chairman Tom Wilson, who wrote a letter to Lonegan defending DeCroce and asking the anti-establishment Republican to distance himself from Shaftan who said that DeCrcoce was “happy to be a big fish in a small pond”
Lonegan said in response to Wilson's request, "I don't care what Tom Wilson says or thinks. Tom Wilson and Alex DeCroce are the duo that is responsible for the failure of the Republican Party to stand up for Republican principles and values, and they have done nothing but overseen the demise of the party. It's time for both of them to go."
I'd guess that Wilson and DeCroce would rather be big fish in a small pond than roadkill like Lonegan on June 2.
