Vivek's campaign is done and I'm glad

What Vivek did to Amy, using her abusive mother in a campaign ad, is horrible straight up. But it is also a good thing that he did this because it proved he would've been a horrible governor. Absolutely no morals in doing whatever it takes to win. This is who he is. He would've destroyed Ohio if he won, ruining the economy and destroying the land to fill it with data centers, and now Ohio finally has a chance to grow again.

I also genuinely can not believe he doubled down on the campaign ad. He could've salvaged his campaign if he just apologized and denounced it. Instead, he clarified that he was responsible for the ad and wouldn't apologize. Republicans genuinely will never apologize for their actions.

That being said, do not get complicit. Go vote for Amy regardless to ensure her victory

Isn’t Ohio a red state. Aren’t people who vote red going to vote for him regardless of what he has done? Isn’t that what they did when they voted for Trump in ‘24? I hope Vivek doesn’t win, but we will have to wait and see what kind of Ohio shows up this time.

Republican here. I will be voting for Amy. My vote is more of a vote against Vivek rather than for Amy.

Welcome :). As a former liberal Republican, I really wish more moderate Republicans existed and could return to the GOP without RINO labels. We need all voices in a democracy. But, moderates are important. I haven’t voted for a Republican in a while, but I appreciate DeWine more than most on either side just because he seems to have a good heart. Spineless at times. But at times not.

I was as well until I jumped over to the Dems. This new R party has no place for me. And DeWine, and his wife, seem to be very decent humans.

I would like to see him endorse Acton. What does he have to lose by doing the right thing?

I was thinking the same thing. Especially after Viveks disgusting video.
