So you're going to *punish* one person for someone else's mistakes? I thought that's how liberals did things.
Conservatives judge each person on the content of their character, not on what their father did.
I don't know *anything* about Pat Dewine. If he's truly a flaming, barking mooonbat liberal, then by all means, we should vote for Mr. Brinkman. However, as we learned in 1996 and the Dems learned in 2004, voting *against* someone is a sure path to defeat.
Being from Texas, I'll not be able to vote for Pat DeWine or Brinkman, but unless Brinkman has skeletons in his closet, Ohioans need to support him over DeWine.
Sorry you can't seem to grasp the concept that daddy DeWine has not only put the GOP and our country in jeopardy with his "moderate" stunt, he's hurt his son's political career with his foolish actions. If both Brinkman & Pat DeWine are considered conservative, why in the world would any sane voter risk voting for the son of a traitor? It has nothing to do with fairness, just plain old common sense.
Many of us suspect that some of these senators have been blackmailed to defect from supporting the President. We all know Hillary's stolen FBI files have probably come in handy. Granted, this theory cannot be proven, but it doesn't make sense for DeWine to have abandoned the party and the President knowing very well how he has angered his constituents. DeWine had to consider such a vote to be a poison pill, risking a political backlash against both he and his son. As they say, he made his bed. Now he's got to lay in it. Nobody ever said politics was fair...
