Kuya kufuneka ndiqale ngokuvuyisana nabacwangcisi, abacebisi abaphezulu, kunye nabaphathi bephulo likaChristie endihlala ndigxeka kakhulu ngexesha lephulo. Ukugxeka kwam bekusekwe kwisigqibo sam esinyanisekileyo nohlalutyo ngokubhekisele kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuvota kunye nemiba ephambili yomgaqo-nkqubo ekuxoxwe ngayo kweli phulo. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kwezopolitiko, nangona kunjalo, sisiphumo sokugqibela, kwaye kufanele ukuba uzukiswe ngenxa yoloyiso lweRhuluneli ekhethiweyo uChris Christie.
Akukho nto indothusileyo ngale ngokuhlwa idlulileyo njengoloyiso lukaChristie eGloucester naseMiddlesex Counties. La mabandla mabini kwimimandla eyahlukeneyo yaseburhulumenteni enezinto ezahlukileyo kwezoqoqosho nakwezentlalo. Ukanti eyona nto ixhaphakileyo bubukho obukhulu kwindawo nganye yokusebenza kwabazukulwana besizukulwane sesithathu sabaphambukeli baseMpuma naseYurophu. Aba bantu bangamalungu e-archetypal e-Reagan Democrats abashiya iqela labo ngo-1980 ukuxhasa ubugqwetha bukaRonald Reagan kwi-Ofisi kaMongameli.
Iidemokhrasi zikaReagan zaye zaluncedo ekuphumeleleni kukaTom Kean kwiRhuluneli ngo-1981 nango-1985 kunye nokuthathwa kwakhona kweRiphabhlikhi yeNdibano yaseNew Jersey kunye neNdlu yeeNgwevu ngo-1991. Bangabantu abaxabise ukusebenza nzima, ukuthanda ilizwe, ukholo kunye nosapho. Ukuphambuka kwabo kwiDemocratic Party kulo lonke unyulo olukhankanywe apha ngasentla kungenxa yokuqonda kwabo ukuba iqela likaFranklin D. Roosevelt, uHarry Truman, uJohn F. Kennedy, uHubert Humphrey, kunye noHenry Scoop Jackson babengasanikeli ngqalelo kwimini yabo iinkxalabo zosuku.
Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba iReagan Democrats ayizange ibe yiRiphabhlikhi. Kulo lonke uhlanga, baqhubeka bevotela amalungu eDemokhrasi kwiNdlu yabameli, nangona badlala indima ebalulekileyo kunyulo lweNdlu yeeNgwevu yase-US ngo-1980. Abazange bazikhanyele iinkqubo zeNew Deal zokhuseleko, ezinje ngoKhuseleko lweNtlalontle kunye neenkqubo zemisebenzi yoluntu, kwaye babengengabo abakhululekileyo kwezoqoqosho nakwezentlalo.
Okwangoku, baziva ngo-1980 ukuba ulawulo lweDemokhrasi lukaJimmy Carter lwalulandela umgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle wokubhengeza kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo emikhulu yangaphakathi kurhulumente yokuthintela uqoqosho. Bakholelwa kwimigaqo-nkqubo yeReagan yokhuseleko olomeleleyo kunye nokuncitshiswa kwerhafu okukhokelele koyiso lweSoviet Union yangaphambili kwiMfazwe Yomlomo kunye nelona xesha lide lokungakhuli koqoqosho ngexesha loMlo obandayo.
Iqela leRiphabhlikhi kwinqanaba likazwelonke laqala ukuphulukana nenkxaso yeeReagan Democrats xa owayesakuba nguMongameli uGeorge HW UBush uphakamise irhafu. Ukudodobala kwezoqoqosho okwalandelayo ngo-1991-1992 kwakukhawulezisa ukubuyela kwe-Reagan Democrats kwi-Democratic Party. Ngokwenyani, iiReagan Democrats azange zibuyele kwi-GOP ngamanani abalulekileyo ngexesha lephulo likaGeorge W. Bush ngo-2000 nango-2004.
Ukanti eNew Jersey kolu nyulo, sisandula ukubona ubungqina bokuvuselelwa kweeReagan Democrats eGloucester naseMiddlesex Counties. Inye into ephambili ekubonakala ukuba ibangele le mvuselelo: umba wokufikeleleka, ikakhulu ngokubhekisele kurhulumente nakwindawo yengingqi.
I-Middlesex County ineziko lasezidolophini eNew Brunswick kunye nendlela yokuphila yasedolophini kwiindawo ezinje ngeMetuchen kunye ne-Edison. I-Gloucester County ayinaziko lasezidolophini kodwa endaweni yoko ngumxube weedolophu, iidolophu ezincinci, kunye neendawo ezisemaphandleni.
Kuwo omabini la mabhunga, iiReagan Democrats zazifikile zivela kumaziko amakhulu ezidolophini. Bafika eGloucester County bevela ePhiladelphia naseMiddlesex County bevela eNew York, eNewark naseJersey City. Babengamakholwa kwi-American Dream yokuhamba phezulu kunye nendawo yokuhlala.
Namhlanje, iReagan Democrats yaseGloucester kunye ne-Middlesex Counties kunye nenzala yabo babona i-American Dream eNew Jersey isongelwa yirhafu yepropathi ephezulu, ukuhanjiswa okungafunekiyo kweenkonzo zikarhulumente, kunye nokunciphisa amathuba emisebenzi. Bavakalelwa kukuba uJon Corzine wayengakhathali kwiinkxalabo zabo, kwaye bashiya iingcambu zabo ezomeleleyo zeDemokhrasi ukuxhasa uChris Christie. Kule nkqubo, kwiSithili seSine soMthetho, i-GOP yafumana uloyiso olukhulu ngokubanjwa kwesihlalo seNdibano yeDemokhrasi nguDominick DeCicco.
Ngokuphathelele uBarack Obama, bekungazukuchaneka ukufunda iziphumo zonyulo lwayizolo njengokulahlwa kukaMongameli. Inye into icacile, nangona kunjalo: Iidemokhrasi zeReagan zeGloucester kunye neMiddlesex Counties zazingazukuvotela irhuluneli yeDemokhrasi engaphumelelanga ekuphenduleni kwizicelo zikaMongameli ababemvotele kunyaka ophelileyo.
Iinkxalabo zeReagan Democrats zeGloucester kunye neMiddlesex Counties kwabelwana ngazo ngabavoti abazimeleyo kunye namaRiphabhlikhi anyule uChris Christie izolo. Andimoneli iRhuluneli ekhethiweyo njengoko izama ukunciphisa umthwalo werhafu kwiiReagan Democrats ngelixa kwangaxeshanye bezama ukuvala intsilelo yolwakhiwo lweebhiliyoni ezisibhozo zeerandi.
Akukho mntu unokulindela uChris Christie ukuba abe ngumesiya osombulula ngokungummangaliso iingxaki zaseNew Jersey ngokubetha usiba. Uya kujongana nomceli mngeni wokujongana nendlu yowiso-mthetho elawulwa liqela eliphikisayo, kunye nabasebenzi bakarhulumente kunye neemanyano zabasebenzi ezinemibono eyahlukileyo malunga nolwabiwo mali lukarhulumente.
Njengoko benditshilo ngaphambili, nangona kunjalo, nakumanqaku agxeka iRhuluneli entsha, uChris Christie yindoda enesidima nokuziphatha ngokuzimisela nangokuqina. Wadlula konke okulindelweyo ekubeni lelona Gqwetha laseMelika likhulu kwimbali yanamhlanje yaseNew Jersey. Njengokuba ehlangabezana nemiceli mngeni yotshintsho kunye nolawulo olutsha, ithemba kunye neminqweno emihle yabavoti ikunye naye.
