Question is would the Feds let it happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We also have some Blue counties right over the river from PA's Blue counties, so they might just make it worst. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairless Joe 10 Posted January 25, 2020 I suspect there are many like myself in South Jersey who would welcome a chance to get out from under Trenton's thumb. As I recall there was some talk about this part of the State seceding, some years back. I don't see the river as a problem. Lots of states have rivers in them.

father-of-three 235 Posted January 25, 2020 I stand by my proposal to trade Warren county for Philadelphia county. Since there is already a Warren county in Pa, the county can be renamed Musconetcong county. The county already has 5 or 6 bridges, so Pennsylvania could easily be on both sides of the Delaware!

Scranton and Allentown are the other eastern "blues," and Monroe county has been a New York City suburb for the past 20 years. It felt really good to help make Pennsylvania a red state in the 2016 election. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pasu0115 200 Posted January 25, 2020 I think it would be great if Morris, Somerset, Hunterdon, Warren and Sussex counties succeeded from the State of NJ. You can bet Trenton would fight that as they would be stuck funding almost all the corrupt bottomless money pit cities! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

always_an_eagle 165 Posted January 25, 2020 Somerset is a blue county now, there are a few places in the county such as Raritan and Warren were they are still Republican controlled, the 2019 election you had towns such as Watchung flip blue and now a Democrat controlled freeholders and a new democrat sheriff in the sheriff's office. It is the first time in 50 years since you had Democrat control in Somerset county. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikie Sherril won big against a state representative; Jay Webber. While that congressional district has parts of Essex county, her campaign signs were all over Mt. Lakes, Boonton, Rockaway. She came in very strong in areas I wasn't expecting. Hell, after Trump's election I saw a few people wearing the knitted pussy hats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
