what complete nonsense. Trump will win OH easily, and you think having a non Trump supporting candidate would be better for the OH GOP? Who that votes for Trump will not also vote for his chosen candidate?
Personally Iām not making any predictions, nonetheless this is the candidate that the Democrats wanted:
Furthermore, we saw that in the swing states in the last elections that every Trump endorsed candidate lost. Currently Iām not sure if OH considered a swing state as it leans Red, nonetheless J.D. Vance had to spend a lot of money and sweat it out (till the end) to win in 2022. Moreno is going up against an incumbent in Sherrod Brown, whom I believe is relatively popular. This could be a toss up.
In 2004, George W. Bush easily carried the state of Indiana.
However, the Senate candidate whom he endorsed and who had previously worked in his administration was equally as easily defeated by a Democratic incumbent who did not even bother to campaign.
Iād agree its a toss up. It would be a toss up no matter which republican won the primary. How do you think it would go for the Trump disparaging candidate in the general? You think the Trump voters would vote for him? Not nominating the Trump candidate was a guarantee of losing.
