J.F.C. - Of course he's upset. It's “vile and deeply inappropriate” that one of his staff got caught... 🤬

@Jason844 If he can't control the posters hanging in his office, he isn't suitable to be a congressman.

This is why I am pissed off at the Ohio Democrats. They don't do anything for #OH02 They've all but abandoned Ohio 02 and have for as long as I have lived here.

I don't know how many zombie candidates we have had because there is no organization by Democrats outside the metro areas.

🔗 This zombie campaign for Congress is giving Democrats fits

The Democrats can't shake Butch Smith as their candidate in the Ohio's heavily Republican 2nd Congressional District, even though he never campaigns and always loses. Why not?

I share you frustration w/ the OH Dem org. The last leader. . Liz Walters? was basically invisible. No leader at all. No leadership.

Yeah.. . I don't get the attachment to Butch Smith. . . Frankly I don't want to see any candidates from my generation anymore, and he looks like my era.
