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

[Rjjr77]

Tiberi has seen the writing on the wall before this and probably won't run. Donald trump winning the election may have made him Ohio's biggest loser as he was a loud not trump republican and a Kasich ally. Considering Kasich is a dead republican walking at this phase it's bad for Tiberius.

Sen. Matt Huffman could be an intriguing candidate, well liked among money circles, conservative, and without the baggage of Mandel.

The Timken factor could make all the statewide GOP primaries a bit different

[Rjjr77]

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

Maybe, but it'll also probably mean a weaker Republican ticket and certainly will mean a weaker state party.  At the least, there'll be a contested gubernatorial primary.

I don't think Timken means a weaker party at all. She's a bundler with big money connections. She'll increase party funding by herself. considering that many republicans felt that trump (and his coat tails) won Ohio inspite of Borges I don't think they will see much drop. The bench is deep in Ohio for republicans, they'll have a lot of money, I don't think Timken weakens the party at all.
