It's more like the air that they breathe. What has been done to Columbus is criminal.The Republican party should be sued for malpractice for abandoning it.
The GOP only fielded 15 candidates for the entire county's positions, apparently. We had no choices for our ward, school district, and 12 of the 15 county positions, including commissioner, sheriff, and treasurer.
That's the biggest part of the problem. The city has not had a decent candidate for Mayor since Greg Lashutka, and that was back in the 90's. I find it very hard to believe that the R's could not find a decent (at least moderate) candidate to run, and I'd certainly like to know why they abandoned at least the city proper after Lashutka stepped down, and Coleman was elected. I'd love to know why they can't cultivate a decent candidate slate, and are unwilling to dedicate resources into rebuilding the infrastructure that they abandoned about 30 years ago to regain the capital city in a largely red state.
I don't disagree with that, However, why are they that lazy that they can't even even put up an array of people to maintain a viable facade, yet they did put up limited candidates for years, such as prosecutor, (and I think Auditor as well) but now, they can't even retain those offices. Pathetic.
Nice margins; however, it means nothing unless he can duplicate comparable results in November. Moreno needs to move heaven and earth with his campaign.
He needs to campaign every day like he is 50 points down.
No, this is what happens when their cheating mechanisms are failing.
Oh, trust me, they were cheating. This is Columbus. Cheating is their steak and eggs.

Becuase they want to perpetuate the urban-rural divided. party politics.

Came here to say something similar!
This is sending shockwaves through the Rino establishment in Columbus this morning.
Hope that "Gubner Goober" choked on Fran's pancakes this AM.
Send him back to E Palestine to drink some more tap water.
He looks like Dennis the Menace and I'm surprised anyone thought he would do a good job.
The Ohio GOP needs a gasoline enema.
Nice! I love it when Trump’s endorsed candidates win. Now he needs to win the general!
