Ohio politics: A cesspool of GOP corruption and craziness
Ohio has been a swing state that tilts to moderately conservative Republicans with relatively clean politics. That’s the Buckeye State of yesteryear. Today, Ohio politics is a cesspool of corruption, dominated by shady entrenched Republican politicians.
The leading federal and state elected Republicans have been centrist conservatives — George Voinovich, John Boehner, John Kasich and current Sen. Rob Portman, until he lost his political soul to Donald Trump.
Going into the May 3 Republican primary to succeed Portman, who’s retiring, the top candidates tried to out-Trump one another, with author J.D. Vance winning the pandering contest Friday with the endorsement of the defeated former president.
The most important Ohio Republican in Congress is Rep. Jim Jordan, whom former House Speaker Boehner calls a “political terrorist,” and who has been accused of helping to cover up a sex abuse scandal when he was a wrestling coach at Ohio State.
