Hugin vs. Menendez is truly a less of two evils election
Menendez is a tough politician, he will win by 6-10 points, but this will be a race to watch in the autumn.
If Menendez wins reelection in 2018, he should not run again in 2024.
No big fan of Hugin here (mostly because of his business record), but to equate his character to Menendez's seems pretty ridiculous and worth correcting.
There are legitimately sympathetic arguments for high pharma prices (which you probably know are the actual base of our state's economy) – they're necessary to stay competitive in a rotten industry, are usually covered by insurance, and they fund R&D that can be used to end other, currently-untreatable diseases. Hugin always seems to have understood the problems with his industry unlike e.g. Martin Shkreli.
I don't buy these arguments much, but I can't think of a similarly compelling argument for helping a fraudster rip off Medicare because he's your pal. (I'm not even going to get into the prostitution claims.)
Otherwise I agree – Menendez will win a tough race or drop out. He should never have run in the first place, let alone in 2024.
