Trump campaign declares war on Ohio GOP chairman
Jessie Balmert , Jeremy Fugleberg and Deirdre Shesgreen, The Cincinnati Enquirer 4:44 p.m. EDT October 15, 2016
CINCINNATI — Remember that war between the Ohio Republican Party and Donald Trump's campaign? It just went nuclear.
On Saturday, Trump Ohio director Bob Paduchik criticized Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges for not supporting Trump's presidential bid and running a "self-promotional media tour" across the state, according to a letter sent to the party's 66-member governing body. The criticism comes after Borges told The Enquirer he wasn't sure if he would vote for Trump on Nov. 8.
"I have no idea what game he was playing," Paduchik wrote. "Some Ohio Republicans have described it as disgraceful, I find it utterly bizarre."
In an odd move, Paduchik picked a fight with the head of the state party just 24 days before the election — an election that Trump almost certainly needs the Ohio Republican Party to win. The stakes couldn't be higher: No Republican has won the White House without winning Ohio. And the state party has a pretty good track record: GOP candidates won every statewide race by double-digit margins in 2014.
