When I spoke with former NJ governor Christy Todd Whitman last year, she credited NJ's system of public campaign funding for its moderating influence on state politics. This article makes me think this system has totally broken down, and that a moderate like Whitman could never win in NJ today.

Federal courts are the most significant check on Trump's power. Large majorities of Americans think that's legitimate. But none of the branches of gov't are particularly popular right now. Any showdown between them will force the public to choose whom they distrust least.
