When Mike Crispi last made “news,” he was being criticized for an ill-advised posting about Gus Walz, the son of the Democratic vice presidential candidate.
That was last month.
Now, the co-chair of the America First Republicans of New Jersey, is moving ahead with a “Too Big To Rig” tour.
“If Republicans turn out in force to vote for President Trump – the greatest president of our lifetimes – the election will be outside the margin of cheating,” Crispi says. “New Jersey will go Republican for the first time since 1988!”
The point here revolves around a belief – still held by many Trump supporters – that the then-president actually won the 2020 election.
Irrational? Of course. But to use a trite saying, “It is what it is.”
So, how do you prevent Trump from being cheated again?
Easy. Just win by such an astounding margin that cheating won’t work.
That’s how the “Too Big To Rig” tour was born, the third installment of which took place last Sunday in Monmouth County.
“America First Republicans Storm Monmouth for Trump,” was how the group’s understated press release was headlined.
This was a pep rally, but it was also an education session.
Crispi said his team will work with volunteer poll workers to ensure their applications to their local Boards of Elections are honored and that volunteer challengers are properly credentialed by the county Republican organizations, or by candidates.
He acknowledged that many establishment Republicans in New Jersey are not committed to Trump.
So, it’s the job of America First activists to get supporters to vote by mail or early. That is a critical point. Republicans traditionally have lost the vote by mail battle with Democrats overwhelmingly. More power to Crispi’s group if they can get Republicans to vote by mail.
No matter how people vote, Trump carrying New Jersey seems quite unlikely. By any objective analysis, Trump would have had a better chance of an upset against Joe Biden than he does against Kamala Harris.
But Crispi has a plan
He wants to beat the Dems at their own game: Here’s how he puts it:
“Our message to the Fake News Media who sneak into our events without announcing themselves is very simple. If the Democrats are going to ballot harvest for 45 days, we’re going to ballot harvest for 45 days.”
Sneaking in?
Sounds dastardly.

The MAGA movement, short for “Make America Great Again,” has been a prominent force in American politics since the election of President Donald Trump in 2016. In New Jersey, the movement has gained traction among conservative voters and continues to shape the political landscape of the state.
One of the key figures in the MAGA movement in New Jersey is former Governor Chris Christie. Christie, a Republican who served as governor from 2010 to 2018, has been a vocal supporter of President Trump and his policies. Christie’s endorsement of Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign was seen as a significant boost to Trump’s candidacy and helped solidify his support among New Jersey Republicans.
In addition to Christie, there are several other prominent figures in New Jersey who have aligned themselves with the MAGA movement. One such figure is Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew, who famously switched parties in 2019 to become a Republican and has been a staunch supporter of President Trump ever since. Van Drew’s decision to switch parties was seen as a major victory for the MAGA movement in New Jersey and has helped solidify Trump’s support among conservative voters in the state.
The MAGA movement in New Jersey has also been active in local politics, with many grassroots organizations and activists working to promote Trump’s agenda and support like-minded candidates. These groups have been instrumental in mobilizing support for President Trump and his policies, particularly in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election.
Despite its strong presence in the state, the MAGA movement in New Jersey has faced some challenges, particularly in light of President Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election. Many supporters of the movement have expressed frustration and disappointment with the outcome of the election, leading to some internal divisions within the movement.
Overall, the MAGA movement in New Jersey remains a powerful force in state politics, with many supporters continuing to advocate for President Trump and his policies. As we look ahead to future elections, it will be interesting to see how the movement evolves and continues to shape the political landscape of the state.
