Lincoln Project former advisor hides his embarrassment by mocking NJ senate winner

Former Lincoln Project advisor Tom Nichols, who has not been indicted for pedophilia as far as we know, was blasted by online critics Thursday over a mocking tweet about the winner of the New Jersey Senate presidential election, a regular Joe named Edward Durr. [Don't confuse 'regular Joe' with Brandon.]

New Jersey Senator President-elect Durr spent a total of about $2,000 for his entire campaign, including pizza for his staff, plus tip. He had more than a 2,000 vote lead over incumbent Sen. Steve Sweeney on Thursday and the Associated Press called the race for Durr. 

Sweeney had been a useless fixture in New Jersey government where he served as Senate president since 2010 but, in spite of this, it took a non-politician with a motorcycle and no experience to beat him.

New Jersey Senator President-elect Durr said that the motivating factor that inspired him to run was due to his inability to obtain a concealed carry permit.

"So, the guy who defeated the NJ Senate president ran because he was denied a concealed carry permit. I'm sure this will all go very well and produce a fine, informed legislator," Nichols obnoxiously tweeted.

Well, Mr. Nichols, the people of New Jersey seem to think he will be well informed. They also believe that Durr's decision to run because his Second Amendment rights were being infringed and that should be reason enough.

Evidently your guy couldn't beat him in spite of the $750,000 Sweeney spent on his campaign in contrast to Durr's $2300.

Durr may have been a truck driver for a furniture company and will be a first-time office holder, but it looks like people are fed up with the status quo and think a guy who actually works for a living and not on the public dime, will make a better New Jersey State Senate President than the Democrat who had been in that position for eleven years.

Twitter users hit back at Nichols for his remark. One person tweeted:

"When some people have issues with existing laws they take their vexations to Twitter, others run for office to try to actually do something."

Another wrote:

"The dude from the Atlantic thinks institutional politicians are more impressive people than the citizens they’re supposed to represent. It’s good to know how people like these view the world when you read their work." 

Go ahead Democrats; keep doing what you're doing and the American people will show you what they think of your dictatorial policies and socialist spending ideas. The country is finally waking up to your leftist agenda. 

I suspect Nichols was embarrassed by Sweeney's loss to a truck driver.
