CLEVELAND, Ohio — A high-ranking employee at the Ohio Republican Party made a 'bad decision' when she created a crudely named Twitter account that mocked the director of Donald Trump's campaign in Ohio, according to the state party's top official.

In a brief email on Wednesday, Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges acknowledged that ORP Executive Director Katie Eagan created the parody Twitter account on Sunday that mocked Bob Paduchik, the Ohio state director for the Donald Trump campaign. The account was created on Sunday, the day after Paduchik publicly renounced the Trump campaign's relationship with Borges, and deleted on Monday after Eagan was outed as its creator.

"It was a bad decision made in the heat of the moment," Borges said. "The matter was dealt with immediately."

The episode has laid bare long-simmering tensions between the Trump campaign and the state party, which is closely aligned with Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a prominent Trump critic.

The Ohio GOP just can't believe they are 'stuck' with Trump. What a bunch of whining kiddies. That SOB Kasich is a sore-loser.

I think it creates more stupid. People who would otherwise rant to their cat or their plants until they sober up are out on the Interwebs instead, multiplying stupid.

Worse, he's an establishment hack. I never liked him from the beginning, and thought "What's this guy doing here?" on the first debate. He had nothing to add. I quickly perceived he was there only to draw votes from more worthy candidates and to be a Jeb backup. Now it's gone to his head and he thinks he's something, when he's really nothing but a tool.

There should be a 24-hour waiting period on tweets. Sleep on it and see if that's REALLY what you want to say. Often, you are much 'smarter' the next day.

Pet Peeve

What question is EVERYONE looking to have answered?

Even in the article itself, you don’t find it until the second part of the article.

“The account, called @bobpadouchebag”

In the very next post: “Review: The Pocket Shot - Its not a Toy”

In the very FIRST sentence:

“What is The Pocket Shot? Well, it is what I call a modern-day sling shot........”

Talk about getting right to the point!

The account, called @bobpadouchebag, posted several tweets making fun of Paduchik, to whom it referred to as "Baby Bob." It was abruptly deleted on Monday after Third Base Politics, a conservative Ohio blog, said it had identified Eagan as the author.

Kasich needs a rubber room until 2024, when he can run against Pence in the primaries—and lose again.
