Ryan is good, but Vance with that f-ing movie and aw shucks persona is very bad news.


Edit-https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/05/03/us/ohio-indiana-primary-election

snip-His chances of success in the general election in the fall are considered relatively low, given a national political environment that is unfriendly to his party and the increasingly conservative tilt of Ohio, which voted for Mr. Trump in the last two presidential elections.

But an upset victory by Mr. Ryan could carry lessons for national Democrats in the Midwest on how to counter the appeal of Trumpism and win back white working-class voters who used to form a large part of the Democratic base in the industrial heart of the country.

I did my part! Diamond_Dog May 2022 #1

Is Tim popular overall in the state? Marius25 May 2022 #42
According to this, Repugs may have just shot themselves in the foot with J.D. Dunce peppertree May 2022 #44
Just keep in mind all of the predictions about Trump - Ms. Toad May 2022 #53
All the more so, given Ohio Repugs' history of tampering with those touchscreen machines peppertree May 2022 #57
Don't even go there. Ms. Toad May 2022 #58
Tim is very popular. Vance is a celebrity with his stupid hillbilly elegy which I thought sucked Demsrule86 May 2022 #48
There are alot of Democrats in Ohio Ok...we need to turn them out...we need to campaign Demsrule86 May 2022 #50
J.D. Dunce, on the other hand, is stuck at 32% of Repug voters peppertree May 2022 #43
Could he beat Vance, though? ColinC May 2022 #46
If anyone can beat Vance, it is Tim Ryan. Demsrule86 May 2022 #49
