tgo Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I don't expect this seat is viable to flip Dem in 2022, and this is a bad development because the seat will likely go to someone who is more of a Trumper and less reasonable. But Dems definitely should be the favorite in the 2022 seat to replace Toomey, as well as to pick off the Ron Johnson seat in WI. His popularity there is underwater. However, this gives him flexibility to vote to convict Trump. Edited January 25, 2021 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in the numbers for reelection looked so bad it wasn't worth running. luvyablue256 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's legitimately tired of the Republican political environment like Toomey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Btw - what are the chances Grassley retires? Pretty high I would think, he'll be 89 when up for re-election haha. But who knows, maybe he's like Feinstein. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Help us all if Jordan runs and wins. Has the tea party or its successor the freedom caucus infiltrated the Senate yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 An open seat is an open seat. And Ohio is a lot more competitive than Oklahoma. The Dems just need a good candidate. Sherrod Brown can keep getting re-elected there, so it’s totally winnable. ChemEngr79 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan seems fairly moderate whereas we know Jordan is full on radical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschool Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 @tgo do you know off hand where Jordan's district is located geographically? Portman is from the Cincinnati area so wondering if his support would naturally swing to Jordan if his district is also in the Cincinnati area. I'm too lazy to look up the map right now.

No major cities. One of the most gerrymandered districts you’ll find too. Unfortunately, his district reaches the Columbus/Cleveland outer suburbs, so in theory, Jordan could have some solid voting blocs in his favor. However, I don’t know much about Ohio politics.

Starkiller Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 The fact that the state went for Trump twice says enough. But as I said, they also vote for Sherrod Brown. Find a populist, pro-worker Democrat and they can win. luvyablue256 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
