Were you able to listen to True Blue American Apr 2019 #1

I agree. Ryan gave a hell of a speech.Sherrod would help. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #6

Surprising about DeWine. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #7

Same guy who called Democrats "toxic" dalton99a Apr 2019 #2

He can win Ohio and he is a Democrat. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #4

Yes let's not forget we can disagree with folks on many issues/statements but in the end he is UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #12

That is true. I will vote for the Democratic nominee. Period. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #17

He has abandoned that rhetoric. Ohiogal Apr 2019 #14

He got a great deal of pushback. He has been instrumental in seeing Lordstown workers are Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #18

Oh yes Ohiogal Apr 2019 #29

They are idiots for sure. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #35

He is still blaming Obama: dalton99a Apr 2019 #33

Thanks, dalton.. Anybody that Cha Apr 2019 #37

Nope. MrsCoffee Apr 2019 #3

Well when President Trump ( barf) is reelected in 20. I guess those who refuse to consider Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #5

YES for reality. elleng Apr 2019 #9

Ryan could win Ohio...do these folks get that? Biden can win PA. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #10

Right. elleng Apr 2019 #15

I hear the same stuff as in 16 ignoring the midterms where moderates gave us the Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #20

What do you think about the second way to win Times lays out...Texas and the Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #23

Texas and South clearly important, elleng Apr 2019 #24

Me too. We can stop Trump in the rustbeltbelt but the south maybe or maybe not. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #36

People would rather have who they emotionally want rather than who's gonna win and make UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #16

And if there are enough of them we reelect ( barf )Trump. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #21

Right, 'not smart stuff,' elleng Apr 2019 #27

Tim Ryan also has a losing strategy. Look how well his district is doing with his representation... PeeJ52 Apr 2019 #8

That is a foolish statement. We had a GOP governor who did nothing economically, Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #11

Also Ryan is beloved because of how he helps his constituents. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #13

Kasich Ohiogal Apr 2019 #31

Ryan's push against Pelosi was a sour note but that's water under the bridge peggysue2 Apr 2019 #19

Sherrod would be great and better in some ways but he isn't running. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #22

Right, gotta RUN, and Brown doesn't want to. elleng Apr 2019 #25

He doesn't have the hunger....great guy. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #26

The Senate seat is certainly a big consideration peggysue2 Apr 2019 #28

He was stronger in some ways. But maybe he was wrong. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #30

Could be, Demsrule peggysue2 Apr 2019 #32

I was disappointed too. But I just want someone who can win... Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #34

he should run for Senate or Governor first JI7 Apr 2019 #38
