I watched the NJ Dem primary Senate debate and it was humorous that Dem sitting Congressmen Frank Pallone and Rush Holt now seem outraged that China has taken manufacturing away from the U.S. and China is outpacing the U.S. in educating engineers. The one female in NJ's Dem primary race, Shelia Oliver, hammered home the point that these 2 Congressmen have been in Congress for years as China marched ahead of the U.S.
The one Dem primary candidate who stood out and was more upbeat than the others was Newark NJ's Dem Mayor Cory Booker.
