At his rally in Wellington, Ohio, former President Donald Trump took an informal, impromptu poll of the support for each declared U.S. Senate candidate running for the seat being vacated by Senator Rob Portman (R-OH).
As Trump listed the names of the four candidates, the attendees responded with various levels of cheers – and jeers – to demonstrate their support.
The crowd seemed to applaud candidates Mike Gibbons and Josh Mandel, while in sharp contrast, the boos that rang from the crowd highlight a level of dissatisfaction from many Trump allies with former Ohio GOP chairwoman Jane Timken.
“I think we’ll get out of this poll stuff, huh?” Trump replied.
He added, “I do love those polls, though. Those polls usually turn out to be very accurate.”
Over the past several months, Timken has found herself at odds with President Trump — even as she increasingly attempts to align herself with the former president on the campaign trail.
Criticism of Timken surfaced due to her close relationship with Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH-16), who Trump traveled to Ohio to campaign against and was one of 10 Republicans that voted to impeach Trump....

Oh goodness! You mean that Hillbilly fella is the people’s choice? That would send a big message cross country but only if he won in Nov.
For your consideration.
We need to get people like Timken the hell out of the GOP. In fact, she needs to be taken out of politics completely.
Out with the phony GOP and in with America loving patriots.
Who is going to be the GOP Chair?
Your post #1 on this thread is funny!
Well, that takes ovaries to do...
“even as she increasingly attempts to align herself with the former president on the campaign trail. “
all the scumbag lying RINO/GOPe politicians do this when they realize they’re losing ... it’s just the newest version of “i’m a real conservative” claims that are dumped the microsecond they’re elected and become “partners” with the Democrats ...
PoS GOP U.S. Senate candidate did this Trump flip-flop multiple times a few years ago here in Colorado ... totally exposed himself as a useless, feckless, spinless, chickenshite PoS ... lost big time ...
If you run into her in Canton, where ever she is, she ALWAYS makes sure you know who she is and who you are talking to .... so you won’t think she’s just anyone
A Majority of the crowd supports the other Primary Candidates, so what?
They are asked their Opinion and they voice it, so what?
Needless to say the Headline is made to look like she is THE Senate Candidate already and to embarrass Trump and his Supporters.

Trump also criticized Gonzalez for voting for amnesty.
Somebody needs to tell him Rubio and Hoeven voted for amnesty, too.
Amnesty is the opposite of MAGA.
Depends entirely on whether or not the rank-and-file voters have finally had a gut full of the RINO traitors and get rid of them in the 2022 primaries. Because of Trump, this is finally a real possibility.
For R’s in the upcoming primaries, this kind of stuff
should convince them to just bow out, they have no chance
in 2022 unless there’s an endorsement from President Trump.
Timken is a DeWine-o.
It’s looking like author JD Vance will announce on Thursday.
I will support him over Mandel and Timken if he does.
At least CA, NY, and IL are out-and-out liberals. Ohio Republicans pretend to give a damn only to stab you in the back later.
That’s absolutely true.
Kelly Ward spent two years running for the Senate here in AZ.
The McCain machine stabbed her and put that fool McSally on the ticket.
Never underestimate the power of the GOP-e to pick the worst candidates.
Timken = Opportunist
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
