1. Good. nt

[hlthe2b]

2. Buh Bye Kucinich.... I'm sure Vlad will have a shoulder to cry on.

[BannonsLiver]

38. It'll be better than that

I’m sure they kept his chair warm at RT. And that’s a paying gig!

[BumRushDaShow]

3. That's good

and hopefully a good sign for November and flipping OH at the governor level!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. GREAT NEWS!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. Hit the road Dennis

[Hortensis]

8. ...and don'tcha come back no more, no more!

[Leith]

22. Whew. I'm Glad I'm Not the Only One

Long before Kucinich appeared on questionable TV stations, he turned into something that made me literally back away from the TV screen. According to a political quiz at the time, I scored closest to him on issues, but I just could not support him. There was something not quite right about him.

[mcar]

6. Bye now!

Please go away.

[NurseJackie]

11. Yes. Fast. Now.

[NurseJackie]

7. Great news!

The best man won!

[Hortensis]

12. Yes. Richard Cordray is a good and competent man,

with a long list of achievements. Elizabeth Warren knows.

Happy news!

[spooky3]

13. Including winning on "Jeopardy!"

[Hortensis]

14. Lol. No? Reminds me of a female TV psychologist,

Joyce Brothers, who once won big on The $64,000 Question by learning everything she could about her chosen category, boxing. Clever choice -- very finite.

[spooky3]

39. Wasn't sure if you were asking this, but he really did win:

[Hortensis]

40. Oh, I believed it. A lot of Democrats are as

intellectually curious, and as a result knowledgeable, as most strongly conservative pols are not.

So glad he won.

[ehrnst]

15. Elizabeth Warren knows her stuff.

Our Revolution, not so much.

[NurseJackie]

16. They make a lot of bad choices...

... poor judgement.

[George II]

21. Their candidate in West Virginia got walloped, too. Many won't be happy, but I'm glad....

....Manchin will be the Democratic nominee - he fits the state well.

[ismnotwasm]

9. Nice!

[sheshe2]

10. Perfect!

[temporary311]

17. Does Ohio have sore loser laws?

[HuskyOffset]

18. "Democrat Governor Primary"?

Is that an NBC graphic? Someone needs a basic grammar refresher.

[NCTraveler]

19. Bye Dennis. I'll try to remember you for this.

[3Hotdogs]

36. That was a pretty good speech. His record in Congress was excellent.

Riddle me why people in Ohio don't like him.

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. The VERY best of good fortune to Mr. Cordray.

I wish him, and all true Democrats, all the luck in the world.

[George II]

23. Press release (tweet):

[MrsCoffee]

25. Our Revolution apparently wins by losing.

At least they are good at something.

[George II]

26. Takeoff on a quote of the orange one.....at least they're not sick of winning.

[MrsCoffee]

28. Lol.

[LiberalFighter]

34. I need to remember this. :)

[JohnnyRingo]

24. Now he has to beat this little weasel in November

DeWine's commercials state : Mike DeWine supports President Trump. Mike DeWine will end the Medicare Expansion program from Obamacare.

He's literally running on taking away healthcare that's already paid for. If Cordray can't win on that statement, we live in a bizzarro world.

And one of these awful images is the actual photo from his Facebook:

[George II]

27. I would reverse the captions

[JohnnyRingo]

33. It's so captioned because...

The one on the left appears to have been taken by an underachieving middle school student with a first generation iPhone. No politician would accept a pic with harsh shadows highlighting his craggy features to use as his profile photo. The others just make him appear old & weak.

I get what you're saying though.

[dalton99a]

29. Awesome.

[bottomofthehill]

30. Back to Fox News for the little toad

[ellie]

31. Thank God!

[Ohiogal]

32. Dewine would be a terrible representative for our state

Make us look like a bunch of backwards thinking geezers.

We really need to get Cordray in office. I wouldn't be surprised if Dewine followed suit with the Iowa dimwit who signed a heartbeat bill. Why do all Repukes hate women?

[brooklynite]

35. I met with Kucinich last month in a pitch for money...

His perspective was that "they" had rigged his House seat so he lost in 2012. The perspective of everyone I spoke to on the OH-Dem ticket was that, if he won the nomination, they would all lose.

[Hortensis]

42. The perspective of a weak character, both in competence and

in understanding. Candidates whose biggest talent is to get themselves on a ticket will always be with us.

Kucinich was endorsed in Ohio’s gubernatorial primary by the Bernie Sanders affiliated group Our Revolution. But when the New York Times asked the man himself whether he supported Kucinich last month, he demurred. “Dennis is a very—what’s the word—unusual politician,” he offered.

No kidding. On Hannity, Kucinich also worried that "they," a subversive deep-state conspiracy, are derailing the Trump presidency, very dangerous for democracy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

37. Good. Cordray is a good guy and Kucinich has gone to the dark side.

[pampango]

41. Very happy that he won. Wish damn Mike DeWine (his republican opponent) didn't outpoll him.

Long way to go to November in any care. Go Richard!
