Does Tim Ryan have a chance in Ohio?

[FelineOverlord]

The Republican front runners seem really weak.

Yes, I know Ohio is red, but Ohio voters keep voting for Sherrod Brown, so all hope is not lost.

1. I think he's the strongest candidate for our side and he has the appeal of a Sherrod Brown, I think

So I really have to think so. Ohio DUers?

2. I love Tim Ryan and he won his seat again in 20 in a district Trump won. He is pretty popular.

I will say this, he is the only one who has a chance to win the Senate...but that doesn't mean he will win. I worry about his house seat. We could very well lose it. I live in Ohio and have worked for both Sherrod Brown and Tim Ryan during various elections.

3. I certainly hope so.

Hard to imagine that conspiracy-theory-peddling moron Mandel becoming a senator. Ohio has certainly gotten redder but I don’t think they’re quite ready to have the male version of Marjorie Taylor Greene represent their state.

4. Yes

If New Mexico is any kind of barometer Far Right Extremism is driving moderate Suburban to vote Democratic.

Ohio is maybe red light but now because of current right wing craziness maybe not so much. Ryan has a real shot.....Sherrod Brown, who I spent some time with job wise many years ago, keeps winning and I would say politically he’s left of Ryan.

5. I think so, but polls will be a better indicator than me.

I'll eagerly vote for Ryan in 2022 against ANY Republican, so that's all I know at this point.

8. Me too...and Ryan is a well known quantity here in Ohio and he is likeable. He really help out

those impacted by the Delphi bankruptcy...worked very hard. In Cortland, our neighbor hung himself after losing his pension because of this bankruptcy.

6. I think that he's a good candidate for Ohio.

7. I would add that Vance might not be performing well because the base wants overt theatrics and

obnoxious "owning the libs."

9. I think he does. And we're going to work our butts off to make it happen.

It makes me sick to my stomach to think anyone from my state would send anybody from that list to the senate.

Mandel and Timken are horrifying.

10. No question the current R field is weak. Ryan has a chance unless..

...Jon Husted (Lt gov) decides to run. I haven’t heard what he’s up to lately but he’s got good R statewide recognition and he’s a Maga wolf in sheep’s clothing that could be palatable to suburbanite Rs not married to Trump.

11. As Previously Mentioned

Ryan needs to strap himself to Sherrod Brown like they're running a three-legged race at the local county fair.

12. Tim Ryan is a white male with an aggressive attitude. That sells well to Republicans.
