The Republican primary in Ohio is shaping up to be a nail-biter, with just days left till voters hit the polls in a high-profile U.S. Senate contest thats also seen as a key test for President Donald Trumps position in the GOP.
The latest RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Trump-backed Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance dead even with Josh Mandel, an exstate treasurer. Ohio Republicans vote on May 3. The winner of the GOP primary is likely to face U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, a Democrat with a commanding lead in his partys Senate primary. The victors of each partys primary will compete for the seat of retiring Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican.

(2,273 posts)They are both dismal, the way to look at the primary is to ask ourselves which of the two assholes would be easier for Tim Ryan to beat in the General Election.

Vance is a dangerous, vile man who has no moral compunction whatsoever and who will clearly sell whatever lies he needs to to gain votes. Plus he's an overrated writer, but that's beside the point
