Jerry, you cite Ohio state Senator Matt Dolan as a bona fide Republican. I will STRONGLY disagree! Dolan is a dog-whistler extraordinaire. He whistles all the MAGA talking points in that soft-spoken, I'm on your side BS voice. He toes the line. Plus, he's done an incredible amount of damage here in Ohio, by steering money to his wealthy cohorts, and mis-appropriating state tax dollars. If anyone thinks he would be a better choice over Sherrod Brown, they must be a product of the schools Dolan advocates.

Thanks for your perspective, Daniel. I certainly would defer to your first-hand experience of Mr. Dolan's record.

But to be clear, I am most definitely not suggesting he'd be a better choice over Sherrod Brown, nor would any other Republican. My point is that Matt Dolan is a "traditional Republican" who's been endorsed by other traditionals like Rob Portman.

Sorry, Jerry, but again, I must disagree. Dolan is a million miles removed from Mr. Portman. He is nothing more than a polished speaker, in the same vein as jd vance. If elected, he would immediately try to become trump's newest lapdog. At least, that's the view from the corrupted state of Ohio.

I'm not sure there's any disagreement here, Daniel. I'm not equating Matt Dolan with Rob Portman, only noting his endorsement -- as well as Dolan's 20 year history with the GOP, and his current position as chairman of the Ohio Senate Finance Committee. He may be all you say, but that hardly disqualifies him from being a Republican.

My post is meant to make the point that the real RINO's are the name-callers themselves, the MAGA extremists whose only loyalty is to DJT.

I appreciate Jerry posting on WaPo comments. I contacted 2 Representatives, encouraging them to sign petition HR815.
