Like I said, keep hatin' haters! Same haters putting down Manly Mandel are also putting down Bombastic Bob (Menendez).
Both FF's will prove bad atlas wrong!
That you like Menendez explains a lot.
As an Ohioan, what are your thoughts strategically and ideologically on the senate race in 2018? You probably know more than me and some other random dude about this race.
Sherrod keeps getting good press, while Mandel isn't particularly well liked by anyone in the current ORP infrastructure -- he keeps having low-level scandals, for which the very heavily Republican state legislature keeps taking him to task, and he even drew out an independently wealthy businessman as a primary challenger. (Though, he's not been in the news much.)
Sherrod plays better is more conservative counties than other Democrats, and runs very well put together campaigns, but nothing can be taken for granted. Trump was going to win Ohio regardless of whether or not he won the Presidency, and if Clinton was in office, Sherrod would be in deep, deep dog sh*t. As it is now, I expect him to win. Whether or not it'll be closer than 2012, IDK.
I mostly agree with this.
I expect Sherrod to win this race, but I'm getting a little annoyed by the "invincible Sherrod brown" feeling a lot of Ohio democrats have on this race (not you buckeye). Mandel is not a great candidate, but he's not a terrible one either, I think this will be closer than a lot of people expect, with brown still winning.
