In a few years everyone will be tired of the same old B.S. and the Dems will walk right in after everyone is sick of the establishment again. What is going to happen to the D party in that time? They are going to move farther to the left and when everyone realizes they voted in lame ass old men with no ideas that do nothing except pillage the state coffers - the farther left Dems will run younger activists and walk right in. We had a chance for change. For fresh blood. We chose the same old B.S. we complain about day after day. I'll vote for Trump or Desantis or Abbot or whoever is on the ballot next time around.

Which state was the only one stupid enough to have it's Republican primary go for Kasich in 2016? Now after 2 years of BS COVID lockdown under Daddy DeWine, they put him back in. Politics in this state are pants on head retarded. I'm amazed we've managed to get the pro-gun stuff passed we have.

Imagine that, Renacci + Blystone > DeWine.
It's not a surprise that the R turnout was high when you look at the hate for DeWine. Unfortunately Renacci split the vote and Blystone never had a chance from the start. It's still my opinion this was specifically the intention for him entering the race. Anyone who decides to skip the Nov vote is just as bad as a never-Trumper, though. That isn't a vote for who you want, and it hasn't been in my entire lifetime. |

Though he probably walked away with a ton of money by losing, hell he’s pretty much made a career of it at this point. I’ve got high hopes for Vance. I think he gets it as he’s he’s grown up with nothing yet “seen behind the curtain” of the elites. He’s articulate and smart enough to win over a few middle of the road people and deliver a verbal smack down to the far left, in a Desantis like fashion. We’ll see, I’ve been let down by politicians before.  Not happy about DeWine, I feel like Renacci running was a deliberate move to sink Blystone. Typical Ohio GOP fuckery. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: November is going to be just like every other general election in my lifetime, voting against the Dem and not actually for the Republican. The way to change that is to change the way Republicans fight in primaries. We have an overwhelming number of old people coming out to vote in primaries. And you need younger people to care enough to voice themselves for better candidates that aren't catering to the old voter base. More people who don't watch cable news daily, in their recliner, need to vote. |

All of President Trumps 22 endorsements in Ohio and Indiana provided a win last night. The only reason I went was Vance, was because of 45, and I had a Gibbons sign in my front yard, which was taken up a day after the endorsement of Vance.
While some had a hard time with 45s mean tweets, me, I didn't give a sh!t, maybe because I have thicker skin than most, what with being Brotish and all, but I know my pocket book and 401k was loving him. That aside, Vance had gotten the nod, and we need to make sure we keep Ryan out of the Senate, because he will be like Brown, an ingrown toenail we can't get rid of.. |

The GOP had it good for the past 20 / 30 years. They have been able to control districting to their advantage. That’s over now.
Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment putting so many constraints on districting that the Democrats always have something to complain about. And it will always end up in court and the courts will just do exactly what is required which the GOP won’t like. No no you can’t have 54 percent of the districts, you can have only 52. No no that district can’t be that large. No no that district can’t be that small. Blah blah blah … BFA has a great podcast about this. Fasten your seat belts. There’s turbulence ahead. Logically impossible laws / amendments should be thrown out because they are impossible to implement. But that’s not part of the constitution is it? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Same. I didn't vote for DeWine last time, either. I'm not voting for shit candidates just because they have an (R) after their name. Not voting for DeWine is understandable, not voting for Vance is idiotic. Again, the establishment of the Ohio GOP hates the guy. That says a lot in his favor. I laughed at the people in 2016 who said they liked Trump based on his enemies. I see now they had some wisdom. Based of Vance’s enemies, I think he will do just fine by us. Further the stakes in the senate are way too high. (Judges, etc) We could survive a term with a Democratic Governor. The state house/senate is overwhelmingly conservative. We can’t survive with another democrat senate majority with Biden in the WH. Sure, he said some dumb shit in 2016. Trump said a lot of dumb shit too, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t much rather have Trump in the whitehouse right now. ETA I’ll probably withhold my vote for Governor just like I did with Kaisich, and I’m generally a vote R no matter what type of guy. I personally liked Vance, but even if it was Mandel who I can’t stand, there is just too much at stake at the national level. |

I'm hoping that it goes the same way for me regarding Vance. Time will tell. I don't expect Little Mikey to change much or for my feelings about him to change much either. |

Here he literally endorsed a guy that said he might vote for Hillary over him. All he's been doing is going around and endorsing the likely winners in races. Real bold move. I wasn't overly enthused with any of the Senate choices but Rand Paul endorsed Gibbons and a Rand endorsement carries a lot more weight with me than Trump. No need to apologize, I know I won't. While I think Dr. OZ is a strange choice to endorse, not sure I really care, what with living in Ohio for the last 24yrs and all. As far as likely winners. You do know that Vance was polling 4th just two weeks ago, and then the endorsement comes down the pipeline, and bam in the kisser, Vance wins. While I was extremely Anti-Vance, 45s endorsement changed that for me, because he isnt a dumb guy and having his support seems to be a positive across the board. As to Gibbons, I rooted for him, but it just wasn't going to work out, especially given he finished 4th, just in front of the Ohio GOPs choice of Timken.. https://i.imgur.com/3H7EmzI.jpeg Not caring about the makeup of the US Senate is your prerogative but considering the Republicans stand poised to take it over, I do and another antigun asshole is the last thing it needs. And I won't put any weight behind an endorsement from a Republican president that spent at twice the rate Obama did and did fuck all for the 2A for 4 years.

You do you, but as mentioned above, all 22 that 45 endorsed, won... What bills did he sign into law that were a negative for the 2nd? Or did I miss something? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Another primary? I did not know that. yes, in August, because the state rep and senate districts have not been finalized yet due to the ohio supreme court and the redistricting board... so all those candidates need to have a primary election, but it necessitates that the district lines are drawn first.... |

Trumpster going 22 for 22 yesterday is pretty damn impressive, ...i can't help but think of the stark contrast to Obama, whose endorsements frequently turned out to be the kiss of death....
