Josh Mandel ran in the 2016 primary against RINO Portman, and IMHO would have won, but then pulled out giving a weak explanation with just a month or two to go. Have never stopped wondering about that.

He's absolutely right that that Trump coalition is Ohio's working people. Notably the coal miners in the southeast of the state, who used to be Democrats until the Obama/Clinton War on Coal. Farmers are another key demographic. Not obvious to urbanites, but the largest industry in Ohio is farming. And farmers are hurting.

The Kasich/Boehner/RINO wing of the Ohio R party is fading fast. The future is principled guys like Mandel, who among other things fought hard to clean up Ohio voter rolls when he was Secretary of State. Won a landmark SCOTUS case against the Obama/Holder gang, in fact.

Trump conservatives can own the state for years to come if we follow Mandel's advice.

Mandel was sabotaged by the RNC the same way they sabotaged Barletta in PA. The RNC doesn't want the labor vote despite the Democrats doing everything they can to push them out.

We don't need two parties for Wall Street, and the GOP has to learn they've been cast aside for the Democrats.

When does the coronavirus tyrant Governor Mike DeWine Republican get shown the door in Ohio?

DeWine drags the party down with his Gavin Newsomish approach shutting down the state etc. etc. etc.

The first thing to do is eliminate all leftist election-fraud practices.

Mandel never ran against Portman nor for the Senate at all in 2016.
