Vivek Ramaswamy
 
Wow, just wow.
 
Election analysts say Acton may beat Ramaswamy after attack ad blowback
www.msn.com/en-us/ne ws/other/election-an alysts-say-acton-may -beat-ramaswamy
Democrat Amy Acton has gained the advantage in the Ohio governor's race after her opponent aired an attack ad featuring her estranged mother, according to top political forecasters.
 
The Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball shifted the nationally watched race between Acton and Republican Vivek Ramaswamy from a tossup to "lean Democrat." The move came after Ramaswamy's campaign confirmed it will spend $4 million to air the controversial ad that leaked online.
 
,,,
 
President Donald Trump called it a "very powerful ad" and encouraged Ramaswamy to keep it on air. Ramaswamy's campaign rebuffed DeWine's call to take it down.
 
Forecasters initially gave Ramaswamy the upper hand after years of Democratic losses in Ohio, then shifted the race to a toss-up. But recent polls show Acton gaining ground as Republicans contend with backlash over the cost of living.
 
In Cook's analysis, Senate and governors editor Jessica Taylor wrote: "The campaign's decision this week to air a deeply personal attack ad against opponent Amy Acton confirmed that the race is slipping away from him − and perhaps creating some collateral damage for fellow Republicans on the way."

Even worse. This is from Ramaswamy's running mate for Lt Governor.
 
Alarm bells as Ramaswamy running mate admits 'truly horrifying' fact about 'despicable' ad

... "Rob McColley admits Vivek believes that Amy was raped by her Mother's husband and that Amy's Mom chose to stay with Amy's rapist," Barasky wrote on X along with alarm emojis. "Vivek Ramaswamy decided to use this woman in an ad anyway. Truly horrifying."

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging - unless you are Trump. Then you just attack the female reporter.

Just once, just once, I'd like to see a Conservative media reporter challenge the President on an issue, one that the reporter knows the President has lied about; and see if that reporter gets yelled at for being a terrible person, fake news, and his news outlet banned from the WH.
My opinion and mine alone.

The banner across the street, "All aboard GOP scumbag". Perfect.
 
MAGA candidate's bus tour implodes as 'deeply vile' ad sends venues running: report

Ohio Republicans are struggling to find places willing to host Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign bus tour after his attack ad featuring Democrat Amy Acton's estranged mother sparked bipartisan outrage, according to new reporting from Zeteo.
...
A Trump adviser told Zeteo the ad is "having a very negative impact on the tour," including on GOP candidates who had "NOTHING to do with" it.
 
At least one host has already bailed. Old Dog Ale House & Brewery in Delaware, Ohio, canceled an event featuring the state's Republican slate, USA Today Network reporter Jessie Balmert wrote on X, and the party has since lined up a different venue. Sources confirmed to Zeteo that the uproar was behind the cancellation.
 
Other stops appear to be in flux. A Sunday service at CrossPointe Church in Westerville has quietly vanished from the Ohio GOP's bus tour page, Zeteo reported. Ramaswamy had defended the ad at a campaign event at the church on Tuesday. A planned Trumbull County stop is now missing a location altogether.
 
The backlash has crossed party lines. Casey Putsch, who lost the GOP primary to Ramaswamy, announced he's backing Acton, calling the ad "pretty damn low."
 
The Cook Political Report shifted the race from Toss Up to Lean Democrat on Friday, writing that the ad "confirmed that the race is slipping away from him."

Hysterical republicans are getting more hysterical because they are witnessing an accelerated meltdown in the Midwest and elsewhere since these ads first ran. Back lash is appearing everywhere. So much so that the White House pollsters, this afternoon, switched. 21 more races from to close call to likely democratic.
