Elegy For Republican Chances of Winning Ohio Senate Seat ?
By 
Suburban Cincinnati and Yale Law School’s representative of the Appalachian working class, Mr. J.D. Vance, may be considering a new con:
Top Senate Republicans have quietly reached out to J.D. Vance — the star author of “Hillbilly Elegy” — about running for Senate in Ohio after the abrupt withdrawal last week of GOP candidate Josh Mandel.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has spoken with Vance about a potential bid, according to three sources familiar with the discussions. Mandel announced on Friday that he would exit from the Ohio Senate race — one of the more high-profile battles in the 2018 midterm elections — due to his wife’s health issues.
McConnell has told associates that he would prioritize the race if Vance jumps in.
And, fortunately, J.D.’s good friend Steve Bannon figures to have plenty of time on his hands!
It would be a pleasure to watch Sherrod Brown beat the guy senseless, at least.
