No doubt a raging lunatic will win the gop nomination. I doubt we could win ohio even without trump on the ticket. And they have a deep bench of well known pols state wide.

Unless we get our shit together quick in Ohio. The state is quickly reaching permanent lean R status.

He was co-chair of the Senate Ukraine Caucus, he knew last year what apricothellbeast did then and still did not vote to convict.

The State Dem Party has sold a tee shirt with the phrase & logo
Portman Has No Spine.

any time Portman attempted to end gridlock by working with the Democrats. Can someone remind me of such an occasion?

But I fear all the kooks in this state will push for Jim Jordan and that scares/embarrasses me.

Old Rob probably saw the writing on the wall with a Democratic majority congress and figured nothing he likes will come to fruition now. Uncompromising, Bad sport, sour grapes. Good riddance.
