This Week in Politics: Don't Hate the Player, Hate The Game

The Star-Ledger recently endorsed Phil Murphy as their pick for the Democratic nomination in the governor's race. At this point, his lead seems insurmountable. According to the latest polls, with just over a week to go before the June 6^th primary, Murphy holds a two-digit lead over his closest rival.

But Stephen Danley, a professor of public policy at Rutgers University—Camden, says New Jersey could have done more during this election cycle.

Danley says Murphy is a strong candidate, but by playing the game Jersey-style, he has progressives feeling left out.
