I am originally from South Jersey, and it is disappointing though not surprising.

Why do you think North Jersey will be stronger for her?

Yes, it also has many rich, whiter areas, but so does North Jersey. The richest counties in the state are up north, near NYC.

Then yeah, that changes my assessment. It's hard to say who the people who live at the shore down south would prefer though. Most of them are Republicans, so it is hard to say how the Democrats there will vote.

I knew Sanders didn't have a chance there based on my experiences with Obama in 2008.
