    Hopefully the middle of next week he’ll be firmly in ‘find out’ territory.

    So on brand for the republican party. It’s the outcome they are unhappy with, not their decisions.

    Behind closed doors, very little of this went over well with the state’s other Republican Party bigwigs, many of whom were furious at Ramaswamy for doing something that could imperil the elections of others on the Ohio GOP ticket

    Yeah, they didn’t care about the ad, just that it could drag them down with him.

    “Our numbers cratered, everyone screamed at us, I don’t want to ever repeat anything like this again,” a Ramaswamy ally says. “We could not escape it.”

    Ramaswamy’s ad may have ensured a Democrat wins the Senate.

      I think you overestimate Ohioans, especially as horribly germmandered as it illegally is.

    Yeah too little too late, it was a move someone who knows they’re losing pulls and instead of being classy he did a low thing that made his opponent look way more sympathetic and her mom look so much worse with the slightest investigation, and ties the Republican party more and more with defending rapist pedophiles.

    Had heard Donnie on an interview the other day bragging about how great an idea it was and how he wished he had something like that to run.

    Cruel and calous is on brand but apparently so is an unter lack of any ability for reading the room. Nobody with an ounce of sense told him this was a good idea.
