By voters Ohio is maybe 56% to 44% Repukes to Democrats. The legislature has Repuke super majorities. Everything in State government has been controlled by Repukes for some time. The state supreme court has rejected the new legislature maps four times. A citizen's initiative won on a state wide ballot (i think twice) to prevent gerrymandering. Naturally, this is still opposed by the Repukes. The chief justice is of their party, and she is voting with the three Democratic justices against the other three Repukes. The legislature, at least some of it, has been threatening her with impeachment. She is the only non-hyper partisan in her party. Repukes hate it when someone is lawful.
Portman is the Repuke US senator retiring, he was a bushevik. He is warm shit in a suit. His Repuke replacement wannabes are beyond wretched (save for Dolan, from the family that owns the Cleveland baseball team). Bernie Moreno dropped out, his commercials were vile and insane. Mike Gibbons millionaire financier, wretched. Jane Timken, from a steel plant owning family, former state party chairman, also wretched. Mandel plain wretched, he is running a commercial where his face is overlayed over a black man in a marine uniform. They forgot to change the original's hand color. Vance is a millionaire employee of the financier Thiel. There are two Columbus businessmen running, who have not much campaign money. All except Dolan have praise Orange Caligula as their demigod.
Democratic congressman, Tim Ryan could win this race.
