I love this. Ohio R Senate candidates keep ripping each other up as Trump appears in Delaware County today.

I think if we could prod them into open carrying firearms as a show of how Trumpy they are on the 2nd Amendment, we might have a good old fashioned gun battle at the next debate.

Cruz going against tfg? Say it ain't so!

BTW- it ain't so. Club For Growth is a major Cruz backer, like MAJOR, and he is rather beholden to them. Hence.

Yes the Club for Growth is all in for Mandel. As they said they would, they doubled down on vicious anti-Vance ads. I will try to find them and post tomorrow. We have enjoyed the R Senate candidates ripping each other apart like rabid ferrets, but it is bad for democracy.

I believe our nominee Tim Ryan can beat him, if we work hard.

I hope so. Ryan is a good guy, Vance is clearly a complete nutjob.

In hindsight, maybe Josh Mandel bringing in Ted Cruz to campaign with him down the stretch wasn’t the best choice.

Clearly I'm in favor of Tim Ryan, but...

So, literally about 5 minutes after commenting to Gregg on my own reasons for despising J.D. Vance, I went outside to wait for my chinese food delivery (my apartment here in London is over a market, and the door to the building is sometimes mistaken for a side entrance to the market, and so delivery drivers tend to get lost, so I do us both the solid of waiting outside for them) saw this on my phone:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/jd-vance- ... henanigans

Summary for those who are not TDB subscribers: Basically, a Medium blog with heavy SEO monitoring so that it *DOESN'T* show up on websites was being used to coordinate between the Vance campaign and a pro-Vance PAC and the evidence of it is pretty damning to my IANAL eyes. No comment thus far from either the campaign or the PAC.

That's for you, Gregg, ol' bean. Let us enjoy the thought that for one moment, the arc of the universe towards justice might actually bend a little more acutely on this one. I know, I know, a pipe dream, and yet...
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Thanks so much for donating in our Ohio Senate race! I really do think we have a good pickup opportunity here. My husband, who is a Dem but not a passionate one like me, thinks Vance is a ridiculous phony. I hope his view resonates among Ohio voters.
