Famed conservative radio and television commentator Geraldo Rivera is exploring a run for U.S. Senate in Ohio as a Republican, telling cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer that he thought he could run a campaign outside the normal bounds of politics.

Rivera, 77, has been a staple on television and radio since the 1970s as both a correspondent and conservative political pundit. Rivera, who lives in Shaker Heights, tweeted Wednesday afternoon he was mulling running for Republican Sen. Rob Portman’s seat after Portman announced he would not seek re-election.

In an interview with cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer, Rivera said he was serious about the endeavor and planned on traveling the state on a listening tour in the coming weeks to solicit feedback about his potential candidacy. He said he and his wife, Erica Levy, a Democrat, would talk it over in the coming weeks as they decide....

I do wish the GOP could find a credible, Trumpian candidate to run for that seat. Josh Mandel is a perennial loser, not unlike Martha McSally. The GOP chairwoman seems to have all the GOPe support which is disqualifying, IMO.

Ken Blackwell seems like a very solid conservative and was a very reliable Trump ally. But, I’m not sure if he can win another statewide contest again.

Ohio is a strange place. Both times, it very comfortably elected Trump, yet at the very same time, it sends squishy Portman and Socialist Brown to the Senate. Can’t they do better?

Jerry Rivers, AKA Whorealdo would fit into congress perfectly. No moral compass. A blow hard. Loyalty of rattlesnake. Fake as Kim Kardasian’s lips.

Conservative commentator? I think not.

Since when has he been in living in Ohio? I thought had been living and working out of NYC as a Fox News employee.

They loved Jerry Springer. Why not Jerry Rivers?

Springer most certainly was not elected to a statewide office in Ohio, let alone in the past decade when the state has been bright red.

>>> “Famed conservative ...”

Their definition of “conservative” is anyone who does not suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I believe Geraldo is ‘conservative’ compared to the current batch of ‘Progressive’ Democrats.

Geraldo has no chance to win Ohio.

I’ll never get past Jerry Rivers as the guy who was fornicating all of my mother’s shopgirls at Bonwit-Teller 50 years ago.
