Republicans appear willing to concede New Jersey’s governorship to the Democrats, rather than finance a candidate in their own party, simply because she spoke out against Donald Trump’s rampant sexism.

Kim Guadagno, New Jersey’s current lieutenant governor, is campaigning to succeed the scandal–plagued Gov. Chris Christie, Trump loyalist and reported errand boy.

The most recent polling shows Democratic nominee Phil Murphy with a commanding 29 point lead................................

The Republican National Committee isn’t contributing anything, and the Republican Governors Association (RGA) has only made a minimal contribution to her campaign. By comparison, NJ.com reports that the RGA spent $9 million on Christie’s two campaigns.

Why are Republicans freezing out their own candidate? Because she spoke out against Donald Trump when the audio of him reveling in sexual assault with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush was released during the presidential campaign.

In response to the audio, Guadagno said, “No apology can excuse away Mr. Trump’s reprehensible comments degrading women. We’re raising my 3 boys to be better than that.”

Trump, who controls the purse strings of the RNC now, has apparently not forgiven her for speaking up for women. According to an insider within the RNC’s top leadership, he “is unhappy with anyone who neglected him in his hour of need.” Other sources told NJ.com that the RGA is also unlikely to invest any more money with Guadagno........................

4. Sad, but predictable. After the disaster that is Christie, cash probably wouldn't help.

5. To be fair

I can see several good reasons for them not to spend money on that race that have nothing to do with her having stood up to Trump. Money spent on that race would likely be wasted.
