Meeting between Trump, Ohio Senate candidates turns tense: report

[brooklynite]

Source: The Hill

The meeting, which reportedly lasted 15 minutes, was described to Politico by one source as being like the “Hunger Games,” and a surprise, awkward confrontation for the Senate hopefuls.

According to sources cited by Politico, the huddle covered everything from the candidates’ support of Trump and opposition to his impeachment, previous endorsements and donations, and early polling in the race.

During the meeting, Trump noted that Timken at one point defended Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio), the Republican who supported the former president’s impeachment, according to Politico.

A consultant affiliated with one of the campaigns told The Hill that most of the back and forth during the meeting was between Timken and Mandel. The Hill has reached out to representatives for both candidates.

1. Timpken....a trust fund baby of the Timpken tapered roller bearing company?

More than likely, I think.

2. She is married to former Chairman, CEO, and President of Timken Steel, Ward J. Timken Jr.

4. IIRC, Timken Steel is a parent of Timken Bearing.

They probably supply forgings to make tapered roller bearings. The tool steels they produce are 52100 alloys (high moly-chrome), I think.

3. ...being like the "Hunger Games,"

If, by that, they mean, "who is the hungriest to pucker up and kiss that giant, stanky Trump ass", then yeah, I guess it is.

6. Ha ha!

5. They really think tRump is still relevant.

What a bunch of idiots. Bending over for their leader and asking for more. tRump is just an overgrown baby with no redeeming qualities.

7. He's running GOP elections like a Mob Boss.

I wonder if he knows that the longer he is out of the media, the more stale his schtick gets, and he's got 1 schtick. The spell breaks the longer he's silent.

He probably doesn't because he is an Egoist and a Sociopath. He's insular. He doesn't listen.

If he gets back on the net it will be because a Mercer or a Koch or a Sinclair-owning, wolf-killing asshole CEO or something paid for it.

8. He just wants to stay relevant to the GOP so he can get their MONEY

If THEY believe he's still top dog, they'll keep sending him money
And thats all this is really about
He'll let them think he's going to run again in '24. That way he can grift hundreds of billions from them

[maxsolomon]

12. Yes and no. He really thinks he should be in charge.

2024 is a long time from now. Thank Christ.

21. I guess there is that narcissism at play; I just wonder to what level.

I still think the biggest part of this is just him ripping off his supporters

9. Do these idiots have any fucking dignity?

Good God.

[twodogsbarking]

10. They worship Trump

like he is their God; guess he is.

23. He made an entire color look bad.

Good grief.

[Enter stage left]

11. I'll be happy to buy all the...

weapons and ammo for the Repuq's circular firing squad!

[ancianita]

13. He's screening new candidates for loyalty, eh? Bet he tries to put the scare into them.

[Steelrolled]

14. Can we still not get enough news about Trump?

Private meeting of no consequence count as important news?

[TlalocW]

15. Oh, no

Trump please stop tearing apart the republican party. No. Stop.

16. Release The Cracker Jackers On Them

Would be fun to watch.

Maybe they could hallucinate reality.

[SWBTATTReg]

17. Not a decent human being among them...and they're all falling for djt's pathetic attempts to...

gather all of the incoming revenue/political donations for his own use (hint: Put in his own pockets/steal)...pathetic, everyone of them.

[eppur_se_muova]

18. What happened - did somebody try to grow a spine ? Nothing would outrage The Former Guy more.

Of course, I'm guessing it probably failed, because Uglicans have forgotten that skill.

[lonely bird]

19. Sigh...

Once again Republicans in my state embarrass themselves and the state.
