Kyle Morris at Breitbart weighs in on the Ohio race for Governor:
Former Sen. Mike DeWine finds
himself as the GOP’s nominee for governor in Ohio, walking a fine line between
the establishment ways of old in the era of President Donald Trump.
DeWine, interestingly, has not
appeared on stage with Trump at any of the president’s rallies in the Buckeye
state. However, he has courted Trump supporters at the periphery, perhaps one
of the most awkward intra-GOP marriages between the economic nationalist Trump
base and the old ways of the fading establishment in the first midterm election
in Trump’s presidency.
The strength of the bond between
two rival wings of the GOP will be put to the test on Tuesday as voters in the
buckle of the nation’s rust belt decide if they want DeWine, or former Obama
administration official and Democrat nominee Richard Cordray, to govern the
state.
DeWine’s apparent unwillingness or
inability to openly embrace the president in the same way GOP candidates in
other races nationwide have done highlights the divide within the Republican
party. DeWine, who currently serves as Ohio’s Attorney General, served in the
United States Senate long before Trump upended the political landscape.
One of the comments at Breitbart refers to DeWine joining “Team Mailman” in 2010. Heh. Anyway, read the rest here. The race does look like a nail-biter between
two awful candidates.
