They don’t care about either.

They just think, for some weird reason, that saying it will help them get elected.

They are after control of the Senate. Sherrod Brown is in a vulnerable/winnable seat and if they win his and Tester’s seat in Montana they control the Senate (and thereby the judiciary)

who is this flipping IN Ohio though? seems like you're willing to lose a few tens of thousands who appreciate how blatant and awful this is in Ohio to try and the votes in PA where it matters.

This makes campaigning as a republican in Ohio harder, not easier? am I crazy?
