OH-Sen 2022: So you’re telling me there’s a chance

Rumors are Trump doesn't want Mandel to win the nomination, as he thinks he's weird, hates his personality and thinks he has no charisma.

This reminds me when rumors came out that Trump found Kimberly Guilfoyle annoying and was upset she was helping the wrong candidate in a primary. I don’t know about Mandel’s sex life but he’s absolutely right, he is a charisma-free weirdo who doesn’t look attractive.

I guess it's now between Timken and Vance on who Trump endorses, and he'll probably endorse soon.

Josh Mandel is a 44-year old man who looks like he's in college and acts like he's in middle school. Is there any wonder that Trump's not impressed with him?

The crazy tweets work (well, worked) for Trump's brand but not really for anyone else.

Mandel probably would still win if he were the nominee, but it would be closer than with other, potentially stronger candidates such as Timken and Gibbons. It's easy to understand now why Mandel lost to Sherrod Brown back in 2012, when Ohio was still a swing state at the presidential level.

It is easy to forget, but Mandel has won 2 state wide elections in Ohio

True, and I'm not saying that Mandel would lose, since Ohio has become more Republican in the decade since he ran for Senate, but he would underperform some of the other candidates.

Certainly don't disagree he may underperform, just reminding folks hes not some ridiculous candidate whos never won before

I think I speak for all of us when I say, what are these salacious lurid and unvetted rumours about Josh Mandel? (Popcorn eating GIF).

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Rs are Favs in OH, NC and FL you see the poll in FL Rubio is up by 10 D's are the Favs in WI, PA, GA, LA, NV, AZ and NH, Rubio, Portman and Grassley won by 2M votes and Toomey, Johnson won by 200K that's why Johnson isn't safe

It's a 304/234 unless a Mason Dixon poll like in KY show us otherwise in OH and Ryan didn't even attend the debate with Morgan Harper and he is the Underdog

I don't know the exact rumors, but it is public knowledge that Mandel divorced his wife a couple years ago, and was dating or is currently dating a staffer on his campaign. Multiple people have left his campaign because of a toxic work environment caused by his relationship. I'm guessing there's more to this story

That’s not salacious or lurid 😔

Seems like a big deal to me: https://twitter.com/JaneTimkenOH/status/1493969169838231552

That probably means something; Portman won by 21 points in 2016.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

That probably means something; Portman won by 21 points in 2016.

Do you know what the last poll in this race was  Mandel tied with Ryan 38/38 Mandel isn't winning by 21 pts FL, NC and OH are gonna be close because when the votes are counted Biden isn't gonna be at 41% Approval it's a CONGRESS cycle, Prez Approvals don't mean much in Congress in 2o18 Trump with 4% unemployment held onto the Senate

I am not buying Biden 41% Approvals anyways until votes are counting

[Senator Spiral]

Portman siding with Timken makes it less likely that Trump will do the same IMO.

[2016]

Portman siding with Timken makes it less likely that Trump will do the same IMO.

Portman won in 2016 with 58 % to 37.2 % and outran Trump by 6.2 Percentage Points so I think Portmans Endorsement will carry more weight compared to whomever Trump endorses.

Timken is getting a lot of Endorsements the last few Days. Today Rob Portman, Yesterday Kellyanne Conway, former Trump Campaign Manager & Senior Adviser. Timken also has the Endorsements of Republican House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik & South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.

If Timken wins the Primary on the back of her recent Endorsements that is CHEKMATE when it comes to the Ohio Senate Race. Ryan has no chance against Timken.

Republican voters will not care about who Portman endorses nearly as much as Trump.

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

I think I read something about Don Jr talking Trump out of a Timken endorsement.

Ryan has no chance against any Republican candidate. It's 2022, get your head out of the sand.

If the Ohio Republican Party eats each other up by now and May and there is still divisions, Tim Ryan better go on the offense and attack Republicans as fascists who want to give tax cuts to the rich and etc.

He should campaign in Southeast Ohio with Sen. Brown, try to win Meigs County.

He needs to rack up Brown 2006-Brown 2012-Brown 2018 numbers.

Yeah this is why Vance is the best candidate, he can effectively turn Ryan's populism on it's head.

Ryan needs to can all of them, Mandel, Vance, Gibbons, Timken, Dolan.

He can effectively call Dolan a plutocrat since his cousin and uncle and father are sports tycoons. However, Dolan may counter act saying that Ryan is part of the PC left that forced him to change the Cleveland Baseball Team to the Guardians.

However, in southeast Ohio, are most people there Pirates fans or Reds fans? Or Guardians fans?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

WI and PA are likely flips in a D Midterm it's a 303 map scenario but who knows what October brings but Fetterman and Mandel Barnes are more likelier to win and there maybe a runoff in LA Kennedy isn't getting 60 percent with Chambers and Mixon in the race, a Mixon not Chambers is the only ones to win a Runoff I stopped donating to Ryan and donating to MIXON

You see those Mason Dixon polls showing Rs advantage in TX, FL and KY only if a Mason Dixon poll or a Columbus Dispatch or University of Cincinnati poll shows Ryan ahead he is AHEAD

Any other republican can accuse Ryan of that, Dolan cannot as it’s his own family that changed the name lol

Lol if Ryan wins or comes close to winning that county, I’ll eat my own ass!

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Ryan didn't even debate Mandel and Morgan Harper so that hurt what little chance he had, don't users see the Mason Dixon polls, D's are down in KY, FL OH has Mason Dixon polls, Columbus Dispatch or University of Cincinnati of those polls show him ahead Ryan is ahead, given no polls I doubt he is ahead same with Beasley

Save your money donate to Mandela Barnes and Luke Mixon, Gary Chambers could force a runoff but  he won't be the D Nominee Luke Mixon is and burning the Confederacy destroyed what little chance he had too

DeSantis and DeWine are extremely popular that's why Mandel and Rubio are gonna win

1) No one thinks this race is going to be competitive
2) Vance is the opposite of a populist.  He’s a wealthy, elitist bankrolled by a Silicon Valley billionaire LARPing a fratbro internet troll.  Vance is also complete fraud and everyone knows it.  
3) Vance is the weakest candidate you guys could run and would definitely be capable of blowing the race in a 2018-style environment.
