OH-Club for Growth (R): Mandel with big lead...

[BuckeyeNut]

Jordan's district is some BS, as Lorain County should definitely not be split between three members of Congress. But on topic: Huffman, whoever he is, would get creamed by Mandel. Tiberi may be hurting for want of name recognition, but the OH GOP is in for some ugliness. This primary looks like it's going to turn into a proxy battle between Kasich and Trump. Kasich and his brand are obviously popular here, but Trump did better than expected in the general. (Winning Ohio was pretty much a given, but I was personally expecting by no more than 5.)

You beat me to posting this, my friend.

Hopefully there's no primary showdown. If Huffman wants to go to Washington he should primary Jim Jordan.

Jim Jordan would never lose.

Jordan has a reputation for being a Ted Cruz-level prick, is a weak campaigner, and has never had the best relationship with the faction currently controlling the state Republican party.  He'd be favored, but Huffman could potentially pull it off, especially in an anti-Trump political climate.  I doubt he runs against Jordan though.

I agree with this to some degree, but counterpoint: He did get Warren elected in the 8th to replace Boehner. It looks like he is building better team-cred.

Timken's ousting of Borges w/in the OH GOP could well mean the Republican primary goes uncontested.
