Back in Ohio – Digby's Hullabaloo

Last night there was a GOP primary debate in Ohio. They have certainly produced their finest leadership for this race:

At OH Senate debate, GOP Chair Jane Timken was asked biggest issue facing kids: “Our children are failing in schools. They cannot read, they cannot write, and it’s because ..instead of prayer and patriotism in school, we are now talking about CRT and other issues like sexuality.” pic.twitter.com/jziBD5gVE7

At OH Sen GOP debate, JD Vance says the education establishment is run by “people without kids trying to brainwash the minds of our children. Randi Weingarten.. doesn’t have a child. If she wants to brainwash and destroy the minds of children, she should have some of her own.” pic.twitter.com/WBUEmxayM0

At OH GOP Senate candidate debate tonight, Josh Mandel was asked what he would look for in a Sup Ct Justice. He said the election was stolen, to overturn Roe, and expand 2nd Amendment, because “at the end of the day, we are given the 2nd Amend to combat tyranny from the govt.” pic.twitter.com/0djYwgnabx

The latest polling shows Mandel in the lead and in matchups with Democrat Tim Ryan it’s pretty much a tie with all of them.

It appears that no matter who the Republicans nominate, they are going to get a Trumpist freak. And it’s not the only state. The scary question is, how many of them will be elected.
