The Democrats’ hopes for a “blue wave” so massive that it helps them take control of the Senate looks to be in serious jeopardy, at least as far as Sen. Bob Menendez’s re-election hopes are concerned:

Dems are now dumping in some last minute ad cash:
A Democratic super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is making another big ad buy in New Jersey to help Sen. Bob Menendez https://t.co/x05Ch6hfKf

Uh oh!
Looks like Democrats are worried for Corrupt Senator Bob Menendez in New Jersey. They clearly know @BobHugin is on the verge of victory… https://t.co/zv5FNzyQdF

The Democrats were just asking for it:
1000% a problem of Democrats own making. https://t.co/gNv5NX77Re

Just leaving a hipster coffee shop in Union City New Jersey where everyone was discussing the Senate Ethics Committee's admonition of Menendez and how eager they were to punish him for complicity in Melgen's efforts to defraud Medicare.

Final thoughts:
Couldn't Democrats have congratulated Menendez on narrowly avoiding prison and asked him to enjoy his retirement?
Why in the world, after signing on to the unanimous Senate Ethics Committee findings, did the Democrats support him for re-election???

If a GOPer wins that seat the Dems will have six years to ask themselves those questions.
