6. Sorry I do not.

Joe Ali just ran it all down on MSNBC, but I am so angry today… I just blanked it out.

Bestselling author JD Vance has won Ohio's contentious and hyper-competitive GOP Senate primary, buoyed by Donald Trump's endorsement in a race widely seen as an early test of the former president's hold on his party as the midterm season kicks into high gear.

Vance's win brings to a close an exceptionally bitter and expensive primary contest that, at one point, saw two candidates nearly come to blows on a debate stage. And it marks a major victory for Trump, who has staked his reputation as a GOP kingmaker on his ability to pull his chosen candidates across the finish line.

Vance had been behind in the polls before Trump waded into the race less than three weeks ago, endorsing the "Hillbilly Elegy" author and venture capitalist despite Vance's history as a staunch Trump critic. Vance has since said he was wrong and, like most of his rivals, tied himself to the former president, eagerly courting his endorsement and running on his "America First" platform, underscoring the extent to which the GOP has transformed in his image.

3. Vance

Dolan, the one who thinks they should move on from Trump, got a respectable 21%, maybe some of those voters will stay home or even vote for Ryan.

11. Didn't he write the Hillbilly elegy?

I worry about that.

Yes he did.

Quote
Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis is a 2016 memoir by J. D. Vance about the Appalachian values of his Kentucky family and their relation to the social problems of his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, where his mother's parents moved when they were young.

Silly, watching DU start to go after Vance.

Hilarious, watching RINO-money get beat.  I heard the race was called super-early...

It’s like they believe people will forget the DNC convincing all other candidates to quit and endorse Cap’n Dementia when Bernie voters threatened to send the party into a brokered convention.

Uh, that's one way of framing it.

Another way of looking at it is that there were seven candidates in his primary, and people weren't really sure whom to vote for.

 :rotf: Knowing how reliably partisan W'pedia is, I figured (from past experience, BTW) that if there were any gotchas against Vance, not matter how dubious, W'pedia would include it, very prominently. There was nothing. The worst I saw, from a DUmmie POV, were: he was raised in an Evangelical household; he converted to Catholicism (out of conviction, not convenience); admitted having been wrong about Trump; was supported by Trump; was supported by Tucker Carlson; is married and has children. Horrors! Practically a Nazi!

Per https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/05/vance-victorious.php , Vance got 32.2% of the votes in a field of 5 candidates. Whether a field of 5 or of 7, he got way more than an average share. And probably almost all of the 67.8% who voted for other candidates will vote for Vance, come November. As will a lot of indies and Rs who didn't vote in the primary.

Unless Ohio is ultra-Blue or Tim Ryan has a long record of being uncrazy, Ryan will face a significant challenge, courtesy of Brandon, et al.

Corrected my mea goofa
