in new jersey than any other county. you see how murphy is doing. there s a couple dozen precincts that are still to report in essex county. murphy could get thousands of votes. we could be talking 20,000 or more votes left in essex county. we could be talking down here in mercer when i say vote by mail is still to come, that s probably about 28,000 votes right there. murphy would be expected to win those with 80 % plus of the vote. the same-day vote, maybe another 15,000 of that left. when you re looking at murphy with the 7,000 vote lead statewide, and he can add in vote by mail in mercer county and what is still to come in places like essex county and also expecting camden county, another core democratic county. you can look at this map and you can find some pockets of deep democratic support where there are still different 10,000, 20,000 votes here or there to come in.
i thought you made a really good point, basically, you have to decide whether this is something we actually want to do or not as in a sort of deep democratic sense. like are we going to commit to doing this or not? right. balls we are kind of doing it half assed. i understand why. a lot of the people that electled him don t want to go into iraq. they elected him to get out of iraq, after all. they were reluctant to go any further than we have. but now we have 3,000 troops there as advisers we could probably do what we need to do with that number or only slightly more. but there are political decisions to be made. i think the american people on the congress ought to be a part of that. the congress has been asked by the president now to make a decision both on the use of force against isis. they ve refuelsed to do it. it s incredible. when the congress is not asked as frequently has been the case with a lot of presidents they
we opened pandora s box when we went into iraq. some said that before. not many. and all of this stuff that we are seeing today the rise of isis the disintegration of the state in iraq, the disintegration of the state in syria, i think is arguably directly connected to our invasion. we destroyed the state. this is what happens when you destroy a state. you have chaos. you have the rise of factions, regional and ethnic factions and i think we can look at that decision and say that s the reason that hundreds of thousands, probably a coupleple if you add it all up people have been killed. you were spikeing earlier about the way we are currently fighting isis. i thought you made a really good point, basically, you have to decide whether this is something we actually want to do or not as in a sort of deep democratic sense.
