OH Gawd No!

Me and my boys.

The Republican primary for U.S. senate is a clusterfuck. The candidates running for the open seat being vacated by Sen. Karen Portman (R-OH) is a disaster. I mean these candidates are trying to appeal to the white nationalist base of Washed Up 45 with "fear mongering" and "red meat" politics.

None of them seem viable as a senator. Yet, one will become a senator if the Democrats don't line up a good ground game.

So this primary is going to be held in May and it will involve a set of white nationalists who are vying for the endorsement of Washed Up 45.

1. Karen Mandel, the former Ohio state treasurer.
2. Karen Gibbons, a business owner and white nationalist.
3. Karen Timken, the former chairwoman for Ohio's Republican Party.
4. Karen Dolan, an Ohio senate member.
5. Karen D. Vance, a hedge fund investor former Washed Up 45 advisor for his failed 2020 campaign.

These five candidates are fighting over who's more in line with Washed Up 45. It seems like they only are concerned about "red meat" instead of real issues.

Ohio is the 7th largest populated state in the country. It will soon be surpassed by North Carolina. The state has lost a congressional seat. The only city in the state growing is Columbus, the state capitol.

Ohio was once considered a swing state. The state went to Washed Up 45 twice by a large margin.

This is why these Republicans are trying to out crazy one another.

Even at a FreedomWorks forum, Gibbons and Mandel let their egos get in the way of actual issues.

Mind you there's hundreds of issues facing Ohio right now.

1. Infrastructure.

2. Crime and Gun Violence.

3. Bringing Better Paying Jobs To Ohio.

The state's population is 12.3 million residents. North Carolina's is 11.4 million residents. 

North Carolina, Montana, Texas, Florida, Colorado and Oregon gained seats while Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and California lost a seat.

Ohio still can't figure out how to draw a congressional map. They are still stuck on finding a common ground bipartisan congressional district map. The state's Republicans keep rolling out maps that favor them 3:1. The state's supreme court opposed every drawn map. They said it has to be a balance.

It appears that Fox is trying to put their finger on the scale. Nolan, part owner of the Cleveland Guardians appears to be the choice of the far-right network. They already calling Mandel, a perennial candidate because he failed two times at running for the U.S. Senate.

To be clear: Ohio is leaning Republican and the possibility one of these white nationalists could be the next U.S. Senator.
