In Ohio's Senate race, a non-Trump Republican makes his case
cnn.com ^ | 10/10/21 | Michael Warren

Matt Dolan is a rare Republican candidate these days: a moderate conservative more interested in talking about infrastructure than in litigating the 2020 presidential election.

A US Senate candidate in Ohio, Dolan has criticized former President Donald Trump directly for his lies about that election. He has said he would have voted to count the votes on January 6. And, uniquely among the leading Republicans vying for the nomination in Ohio, he has refused to say President Joe Biden's victory was tainted by widespread voter fraud.

In a party currently dominated by an unquestioning devotion to Trump, Dolan is testing the premise that no one can get through a primary contest without embracing the former President.

Some Ohio Republicans say Dolan's rejection of Trump naturally limits his appeal to a GOP primary electorate -- particularly as some of the leading candidates are tying themselves to the former President as much as they can.

Probably the kiss of death in a Republican Ohio primary.

Democrats do love the RINOs, and especially when they are really democrats pretending to be ‘moderate conservatives’. Reality is that, there is no such thing as a moderate conservative. A conservative is conservative on all the issues, and being a ‘moderate’ would automatically make you a RINO. RINOs are democrats who can’t stand all of the socialist agenda that their real party is pushing.

This file photo from June 8, 2021, shows Ohio Senate Finance Chairman Matt Dolan in Columbus, Ohio.

A soy boy poster candidate if ever there was one.

Love the article, CNN.

They say this candidate has little to do with the election frauds, then goes into how he is all about the election frauds.

Not sure how his 2% or so level of support will work to get him the nomination, but yes, he’s welcome to try!

In other words he has no chance of winning the nomination.

Ohio is not going to put this thing in office. WE are fed up here, Trump won Ohio by around 9%. I’m sure it would be much higher today. Ohio is going to put in America first citizen not swamp creatures. Portman is retiring because he knew he would be primaried, DeWine is toast too.
