(18,208 posts)He cheated in plain sifpght to make sure he and his thugs remained in power.
But I do not absolve the Democrats. They did not do one thing to help Ryan. I made sure I let the Ohio party know how I felt. They knew I was disappointed. I made clear I was more than disappointed!
The only thing we can hope is that JD claims he loves Ohio so much he will work with Dems like Portman did..

(4,815 posts)I really thought Vance would go down. The fact this nutjob won this seat is a political "tell" for what is happening in Ohio.

(60,976 posts)Happy to have been one of his constituents and part of campaigns that helped get him elected.
Volunteered on several elections whil living in Ohio. Sherrod lived in the same community and frequented campaign headquarters and always interacted with everyone.

I would like for him to run for Governor, but we need him in the Senate. Actually flew back to DC to cast the deciding vote for the ACA!
Maybe Ryan can run. DeWine lost to Sherrod.
But the Ohio House elected a very moderate Speaker to the House with Democratic help over a far right guy Republicans had voted for.
