"SNIP......

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Cleveland Plain Dealer ran an editorial urging Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) to run for reelection despite his retirement announcement last year.

“Otherwise, the ugliness that is the Republican primary for your seat will continue its cavalcade of intemperate, cruel, ill-judged, narrow-minded and explosive rhetoric designed to divide not unite.”

“Otherwise, the majority of candidates from your party will continue to spew their lies about the 2020 election, lies that don’t just bust apart hopes to rebuild any consensus in America, but also that continue to shred the very heart and soul of the traditional conservative Republican Party values you have served so ably over your long career of public service.”

......SNIP"

1. I have a better idea. He should simply endorse the democratic candidate

2. Pretty effed up when the newspaper serving the bluest county in our state

begs its repuke senator to please stay on another term.

Even more effed up is agreeing with them.

3. Every last one of those Repukes running for that seat are all awful trumpsters

Mandel, Moreno, Gibbons, Vance? They are the dregs of the Ohio GOP.

You know it’s dire straits here when Portman is considered the best one.

On edit: Matt Dolan is in the running, too, and he seems to have a bit more sense than those four I mentioned.

Wish the paper would have come out big for Tim Ryan, though.

4. Go Tim Ryan!
