Maybe it's because I'm a lifelong NJ resident and lifelong NJ Democrat that I know how ridiculous that would be.

If Menendez loses, the state party will have only itself to blame. He could have (and I think should have) stepped aside and just let a new Dem run for the seat and they likely would have won (Dems outnumber Republicans 2 to 1 in the state). But instead they dug in their heels and now we are having to spend time and money defending what should be a safe Senate seat.
