They should listen to this guy. Dave Chappelle for senate would be hilarious lol and he wouldn’t do any worse than any other Dem.

Mandel is probably gonna run. Ugh. What a despicable individual.

What’s the issue with Mandel?

Praised white nationalists and then never apologized when called out on it.

Tim Ryan outperformed Biden in his district by 5.2% (winning by 8.6% vs Biden's 3.4%). If we carry that through the entire state (which is generous) he would've lost to a generic Republican opponent by 2.8% statewide in 2020. Not to mention, this race was thought to be "Safe D" so the Republican didn't receive any national attention. Why does anybody believe with that set of facts that Mandel or anybody would "struggle" against him?

I mean, I don’t think it will be competitive either, but Mandel did underperform Kasich by quite a bit in 2014 and Romney in 2012 by a couple points (though most of that was probably because of Sherrod Brown being an exceptional candidate) so I can see where people are coming from when they say Mandel is weak. Ryan v. Mandel is Democrats best scenario likely, but it would still take a D leaning environment which is unlikely to occur.

Do you remember who was Kasich's opponent in 2014 ? Fitzgerald was one of the weakest democratic gubernatorial candidate of that year.

Well Mandel also underperformed the entire statewide GOP ticket, it was a pretty awful year for OH dems overall

I know it's the Intercept, but this could really be something Ryan could use to attack Acton on in the primary, if these polls sorta take away the electability argument. (Not that it matters for the general ofc)

This thread should not have 16 (now 17) pages. This is not a competitive race.

I mean, the Kansas 2020 race got over 45 pages of discussion and we all know how that turned out
