Bernie Moreno drops out of OH race for Portman's seat

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Bernie Moreno, the Cleveland businessman and luxury-car dealer, has dropped out of Ohio’s crowded Republican primary for an open U.S. Senate seat.

Moreno announced late Thursday he had suspended his campaign following a meeting with former President Donald Trump, who holds considerable sway over Republicans and is considering whether or not to endorse in the race.

“I asked for a private meeting with President Trump this afternoon to discuss the state of the Ohio Senate race,” Moreno said in a statement. “I am a businessman, not a politician. Business leaders recognize patterns before they happen. After talking to President Trump we both agreed this race has too many Trump candidates and could cost the MAGA movement a conservative seat.”

There are just too many Trump ass kissers in the OH race, they needed to thin the herd.

In his early ads, he was claiming Biden and Dem policies were responsible for runaway inflation, just as Carter and Dem policies were responsible for runaway inflation in the '70s.

A quick check of any middle-school economics book would explain that the external shock of OPEC tripling the cost of crude was responsible for the inflation in the '70s.

His commercials were on constantly and oh so annoying.

You have to laugh that he spent all that money and didn’t get one damn vote. But we do know his lips are firmly attached to trump’s ass
