Angry Ohio Voters Could Turn Their State Purple Again

Trump wants others powerless, and he wants them to fail.

He's a freaking narcissist. They build themselves by tearing others down.

There's no mystery here except that it took Ohio a decade to notice.

"There's no mystery here except that it took Ohio a decade to notice."

Yeah, well, the degree to which they might've noticed remains to be seen...

They notice that Jon Husted talks and looks like a Dem running for office for the first time. They notice that when he shows up in the state, Der Dotard lands on a crop dusting air strip to talk to slack jawed locals paid to be there ...

Trump promised he was going to lower prices across the board, including a 50% reduction in energy cost. He promised higher wages, that he would deport criminals, no inflation and would not engage in elective wars. The liar lied bigly and the party that caters to his every whim should expect repudiation at the ballot box.

It is amusing to me that there is a picture of the Michigan race in a thread about Ohio.
