  1. He’s trying to get some Republican votes.
    He has to if he wants to be a senator from Ohio.

    1. @James Dunn I’d probably avoid talking about the last three including the current! Make it about you, not some other fool…

    1. I get your meaning but I think Tim’s going to have to laugh literally all the way to his seat in the Senate because he’s going to win. Ohio will have two Democratic senators that’s well within our historical means representing Ohio and the rest of the nation.

  2. Ohio deserves someone that wants to help Ohioans. We need to buy American. In order to buy American we need to build in America. We don’t need to let other countries control our country. In order to produce goods in America we need an educated work force. We need free craft skill training facilities. We need to give young people that wont go to college to be able to get the skills that is needed for a good future. Make it easy for them to get an associate degree in the craft of there choice. A state wide apprenticeship program is needed. Earning a living while training. Who wouldn’t want that? Give our kids an opportunity. Attract green businesses with tax incentives that have our planets health in mind.

    1. So, Timmy will say whatever and disagree with whomever to get votes. A true politician! Lol

  3. I agree with Trump on nothing. Why? Because he Trump is transactional – a so-called “day trader”. Trump is steadfast on nothing but his love of himself. I occasionally detest what I became.

  4. Ohio resident and I’ll be very happy to vote for Ryan in November, just as I voted for him in yesterday’s primary.

    1. @jacob henderson Ohio went for Trump by a large margin so it doesn’t look good for Ryan. We shall see.

    2. Phoebe. JD Vance was only candidate in debate who said “hell no “ to question of no fly zone in Ukraine. Who won ? Who knows the citizens of this nation don’t want world war three ! Vance and MAGA

    3. @Elizabeth Stanley good point, but sherrod brown still gets elected, and mayoral democrats get elected. Midterms in general not looking good for dems, but I think Tim Ryan still has a shot.

    4. @jacob henderson I don’t think it’s likely…nut we’ll find out soon enough.

  5. An entire state of republicans got together and decided the grifter charlatan, JD Vance, is their guy. LMFAO.

    1. @Warren Gently Who couldn’t even get JD’s name right LMFAO. I guess all that really matters is that JD Vance forked over the money necessary for that endorsement

  6. I’m not a fan of the orange monster but, Mr. Ryan has a point.These labels are only dividing us when the majority of us want the very same thing. I like this man’s message

  7. I live in Columbus, Ohio for over 50 plus years. Tim Ryan really has been about his Constituents from the get go. He is one of a rare few from my State who DOES what he says. He never had a problem with people going over his resume with a magnifying glass. He has always Delivered The Goods without fibbing, lying or hedging! I appreciate his service as an elected voice for his State!

    1. @Lewis Lovelord you are so right. I hope we can beat the republican scourge too. Thanks for the wish of luck. We need all we can get.

    2. @alma coleman Same, honestly. I’m currently in the South again so you already know. I’m starting to think Cali or Canada might be my future.

  8. When was the last time a real politician said it is okay to agree with the other party or disagree with your own?? People forget, that is what makes America and defines a democracy. Go Tim Ryan!

  9. Tim is a total Gem! Ohio needs him, desperately! I live 15 minutes away from Middletown, Oh! Represent Tim!!

  10. If I’m in Ohioan, I’d strongly consider Ryan, even though he’s a Democrat, just because JD Vance has a history of grifting Christians.

    1. Vance also switched his tune; first he criticized Trump openly and said he disliked him. Now closer to election times, he’s kowtowing to Trump to get his endorsement! Quiet a turnaround.

  11. Can we get about 300 more of him, please? I am definitely part of the “Exhausted Majority” (can we discuss how accurate that title is) and I am going to be watching this race closely and supporting him every way I can! Hopefully we can get a Tim Ryan here in Kansas.

  12. Love Tim Ryan! Ohioans, while you’re at it, can y’all vote out Gym Jordan, dears? Thanks in advance. Love, America.

  13. “We all have to put on our red, white and blue shirts” and vote for the candidate who cares about our country. I would vote for Tim Ryan if I lived in Ohio.
