@DonaldJTrumpJr

Neocon RINOs who support a "European led" no-fly-zone in Ukraine, like @JoshMandelOhio, are the OPPOSITE of America First.

Mandel has more in common with Liz Cheney on foreign policy than MAGA. That's one of the reasons all America First patriots need to unite behind @JDVance1!

[RandFan]

Pretty forceful..

The Vance crowd is now trying to smear combat veteran, Tea Party leader, and long-time conservative Josh Mandel as a RINO warmonger. What a disgusting disgrace. Especially coming from Wall Streeter, longtime San Francisco resident, Never Trumper Vance. Man of the people my ass.

[9YearLurker]

That should take care of that.

[RandFan]

wow

I support neither and think Gibbons could be the compromise candidate...

[BrexitBen]

Mark Levine endorsed Mandel.

Guess he reminds him of his hero, ol’ honest Abe.

Ohio is full of them

I’ve been considering things across the board got a Senate race here in PA David McCormick cut from that same cloth Trump Jr. alludes to in Mandel.

Throughout our history the Establishment political machine, the Swamp, call them what you will take those who have served in the military and use them for corrupt ends.

Eisenhower did warn about a “military industrial complex” indeed he did.

Eisenhower spent 10% of the economy on defense every single year of his administration. We are now at 4%. Liberals and America-haters have repeatedly distorted the meaning of what Eisenhower said. The big point Eisenhower made was the necessity to never be taken by surprise again by superior enemy armaments during that speech, which is why military spending needed to remain higher than the 1% of the economy preceding Pearl Harbor that led to disastrous defeats at the beginning of the war. The need to not expand military spending excessively (i.e. beyond the 10% he spent) was just a footnote.

[A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.

Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.

Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. ]

FWIW I just sent Mandel another contribution. A “widow’s mite” to be sure, me being retired on Social Security.

Ohio is my adoptive home, to be sure, but I hate to see her defiled by a San Francisco carpetbagger whose only loyalty will be the Big Tech money.

I voted for Trump, both times, but I see his flaws as well as his attributes. One of the worst flaws is that he is attracted to performers, perhaps because for a time he was one himself. I will vote for him again, given the chance, warts and all, because it’s evident that he is not a crook, which is refreshing.

Amnesty is the opposite of MAGA and Trump endorsed Rubio anyway.

“Amnesty is the opposite of MAGA and Trump endorsed Rubio anyway.”

And Mitt, Mitch, Linsey and now Purdue, OZ. I’m sure I missed a few. Great president but man his picker is off sometimes.

[Dave W]

That would be a disaster.

And, still wrong.
Rather reminds one of a child who makes up for lack of knowledge with higher volume in the argument...

[srmanuel]

I think one of the biggest things working against Mandel and the Wall Street guy was the near fist fight they got into during a debate, it was an ugly situation and since then both have taken a nosedive in the polls.

The near fight and the other candidates making it an issue have really damaged Mandel and the other guy.

[RandFan]

Personally I think he’s onto something when he says Mandel has more in common with Liz Cheney on foreign policy.

This is a guy who embraced McCain , Romney etc. when identified as a rising star.

Mark Levin defending him confirms it for me. These are all the guys that were pro-war back in the day and have never apologized or admitted their mistakes.

Mandel is trying to pretend he is something he’s not.....

[central_va]

JD Vance is solid. Totally hated buy the GOPe. Therefore get behind him.

[central_va]

How could anyone not support JD Vance? He is one of the few pro American industry anti Free Traitors™ we have!! He is the anti GOPe candidate. They hate him which is why you should want him.

[central_va]

Politicians of both parties told us that free trade with Asia and Latin America would spur economic growth, and maybe it did somewhere else. In our towns, though, factories continue shutting down or moving overseas.

I have been waiting for someone to come along and tap into that very real frustration that exists in a very large segment of the working-class Republican base. And no one had done it until Donald Trump. I very clearly saw a void, and I knew somebody would fill it. And the moment I knew he had filled it, I knew he would win the nomination.
