'They don't recognize the party.' GOP group launches campaign against J.D. Vance

A GOP group aligned with a former staffer for Sen. Rob Portman is hoping to rally Ohio swing voters against J.D. Vance as part of a national effort to block Republican candidates who cast doubt on the 2020 presidential election.

The Republican Accountability Project is launching a $500,000 digital campaign featuring Republican voters in Ohio who plan to cast ballots for Vance's opponent, U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan. The organization hopes to undermine candidates in key states such as Arizona and Pennsylvania who aligned themselves with former President Donald Trump and peddled false claims about election fraud.

These are people who "don't recognize the party"

"These are all people who voted Republican their entire lives, and they don’t recognize the party," founder Sarah Longwell said. "I think 2017 J.D. Vance would say the same thing.”

Among the group's key backers is John Bridgeland, a Cincinnati native and Republican who worked in Portman's congressional office. Bridgeland decided to support Ryan after seeing Vance walk back past criticisms of Trump and seek his support in the contentious GOP primary for Portman's seat.

1. Please, please, get your message out. Loud and clear!

2. I applaud them all.

I KNOW for a fact that had a Dem acted as the former and his supporters have done since it was obvious that their opponent had won, I would have said get your crap together, and when you're back on track you get my vote. Otherwise, I'm either not voting or casting my vote for the other party.

Country over party, democracy over autocracy.

3. I thought such Republicans were extinct. Country over GOP? Could be a phoenix.
