Jack Ciattarelli
Thank you, New Jersey!
Because of you, we won all 21 counties with a clear and convincing victory.
This campaign has always been about people, not politics — about vision, not division.
Tonight, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we get back to work the only way I know how, with everything I have. All gas, no brakes. Let’s unite, let’s fight, and let’s fix our great state.
- Mikie Sherrill already is campaigning against Ciattarelli: “A state like this is not gonna be led by a Trump lackey like Jack Ciattarelli… I am ready to shake up the status quo. And Jack is the status quo.”

ReplyDeleteWhat fools
ReplyDeleteWas it worth risking our values to vote for a loser because a few askanim decided so. And made the roshei yeshiva look like fools scaring everyone that it's Pikuach nefashos.
And they are the smart ones who know politics that the olam must follow???
Michutzaf, and anonymous also
DeleteCalm down talking about the askanim not the RY's
DeleteAnd had Josh won, could you imagine the pressure the “Askanim” and “daas torah” would have put on the Tzibur, to vote for Josh in the general election
DeleteMechutzaf is a knee- jerk retort, because he is obviously right!
DeleteJosh hired Schnalls campaign manger - how the vaad fell for this campaign manager is really sad - There wasn't even anything in it for them - pathetic. There was absolutely no reason why we were voting for Josh - I'm trying to find their reasoning other than the field is wide open we dont want an extremists... That is why you go all out for a candidate and make everyone crazy! THIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER should be ashamed of himself he took everyone for ride dragging the R.Y. in this too - so he can make some money!
DeleteAt least jcn cbn Matzav made money off Josh
ReplyDeleteActually genius. Look at the results. Vihamaivin yavin
ReplyDeletePlease explain your deep ideas
DeleteBoruch Hashem no more robocalls about this until November. Now if we can get rid of the robocalls against the Bais Havaad.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Who is it up to?
DeleteSomeone lost a Din Torah, as in every case. His revenge is these robocalls. The victim of this revenge isn't the Talmidei Chachamim of the Beis Hava'ad, it is all of us who have to endure the self-righteous prattling about 'Bnei Torah' whatever that means, as well as the clogging of our answer machines.
DeleteJust remember, every Din Torah has two sides. When someone refuses to see their children and blames the Beis Din instead of himself, his opinion and his backers become worthless.
Tedoilei haposkim, roshei yeshivos and rabonim fell for it and you understand and know?
DeleteWOW!
This was an EPIC FAIL by the Lakewood establishment and its lackies and Lap dog media and bully pulpits JCN CBN and Igud/Vaad and others who were drafted for the war effort
ReplyDeleteThey bet on the wrong horse and gambled on penny stocks hoping for a massive return
They should admit failure and apologize for what they did with this campaign making the Lakewood community look bad and belittling the intelligence and respect of the community.
Instead of admitting they were wrong they keep changing and spinning the message that it was all about showing the power in numbers bla. Bla... well they didn't even get 75% of Adults in Lakewood to register.
The dosparity of numbers of adults in Lakewood V registered voters are very far apart.
They dragged the yeshiva into this mud for no reason. All in a primary election
How's the free tuition relief going??
It seems that Lakewood got pressured to join the north Jersey modox communities and Passaic they should have read the polls and not fall and follow the Jewish voters that Josh has influence with
ReplyDeleteThis election showed that with all of the anti-Vaad sentiment, they can deliver 14,000 votes for a candidate without promising a thing.
ReplyDeleteEven if their candidate failed, the future candidate knows they have to court the Va'ad.
Because being organized is more valuable than being helpful and effective.
That is your post- mortem of blaring failure?
DeleteCourt the Vaad without promising anything? Sounds like a strategy! Also shows how pathetic the Vaad is - they cried wolf yet again - this time looking a bit more foolish - There is no explanation why they chose Josh and he lost by a landslide!
Deletethat 14,000 number is fiction. Josh got 9,000 votes in all of ocean county, around 5,000 in Lakewood.
DeleteWhat is becoming obvious is that this primary will going forward will have showed the firm limits of the moguls, signatures,Vaad,Avi S.'s team, combined
ReplyDeleteBetter for candidates to go deal with real people
Haven't had such a good morning in a while.It was a flat- out lovely entertaining flop.
ReplyDeleteafter all these years of elections the Lakewood vaad and power brokers have no access in Trenton with the higher ups even with the schnall assembly seat.
ReplyDeleteIt's time for all the askanim to go and let others get involved
They failed the community
TIME TO FIX THE FORMULA
DeleteIt's starting to make sense thus is a theory of what is going on
ReplyDeleteThe modox community in North Jersey have been connected with Josh Gottheimer for years and they supported his candidacy ow, they ran a campaign to get all Jewish frum communities in NJ ro vote for Josh.
These are the same guys from teach NJ who were working on the school vouchers.which lakewood joined
The new Lakewood askanm for whatever reasons decided to go along with them and support Gottheimer
They replicated the same game plan they used to elect Avi Schnall by lending his campaign manager to the Josh team.
They used the fear mongering campaign that is done every election by hosting a emergency metering with the Roshei veshiva which than sets off the soldiers to run the ground game by calling the rabbonim, using iggus hamosdos to send letters to schools etc.. askanim push texts and watsapp statuses shuls use their lists to target mispalelim and this is how its done.again and again.
Did they do any research or speak to pollsters because Josh wasn't even close
and Mikie Sherrill is Phil Murphy 2.0
So what was the big emergency???
What's the connection between the new adirei askanim and the North Jersey Modox askanim can someone shed some light on what is going on
Deletethey all get their ideas from Maury Litwack. that's the connection.
DeleteGevald! The world going to come to an end because Josh lost? Our schools are going to get taken over by the liberals or whatever other rubbish they were selling. At least till next election when they will sell us more nonsense.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Loui Scheiner put out a video thanking the oilam for voting shows clearly who is behind the campaign and what the agenda behind it is. Once again the healthcare moguls are manipulating the oilam. Scnhall 2.0.
