Tiberi’s leaving caused this.
Also, I heard - and don’t know for a fact but would like to know - that this area’s House Rep was in fact John Kasich. Well, when you’re used to re-electing a Kasich - if that’s your image of a “Republican”, and your current candidate is a Troy Balderson - well, a squeaker doesn’t surprise me.
What Trump achieved was to motivate HIS backers and those who understand the game and the stakes - to turn out.
To point the finger at this being an historic GOP district so therefore it should be easy for any GOP to win it, doesn’t square with the facts on the ground in this case.

Very true! I agree with everything you posted. Sad to say, a lot of “repubicans” are “K-sick repubicans,” just like in AZ where evidently, “most repubicans” there are McCaniancs. So President Trump not only has to motivate people to vote out the RATs, he also has to do the same thing for the RINOs/GOPe! Because for him to continue without the wholehearted support of his own Party is just nuts. I continue to be just amazed at his level of energy and determination. He is wading in on absolutely everything that’s wrong, and doing so without his own party standing behind him. We have to break the hold that “big business” has on the GOPe. They don’t give a $hit about our country. It’s just a “big market” to them, and nothing else. I’d open a good bottle of wine and celebrate if I were to read that the Koch Bros. both died in a plane crash. Patriotism is out the window with these people.
