The only time I really see his face or hear his name is in a commercial. Other than that news stories about him, especially in our paper, are few and far between.

But, from what I've seen of him he's just so darn relatable. I mean, whose dad hasn't bought them a Mercedes dealership?

We need to be playing up that MBA from Michigan angle. Seriously, a lot of people here are so invested in that whole Michigan/Ohio rivalry that it could flip sone votes Sherrod's way.

If you could, please share information about Moreno with your friends and family and fellow Ohioans. I did a quick Google search on him. There are many stories about his background, his campaign and his staffers, one of whom just resigned.

Yesterday, he showed up in Springfield to trash immigrants and Democrats. The Ohio Democratic Party seems to be pushing back with some anti-Vance statements, but this is definitely an all hands on deck situation for Ohio Democrats. Here’s a link to a story:

I’m getting ready to knock doors here in Northeast Georgia this afternoon. #GOTV y’all!

Good luck up there in Ohio. 🗳️🇺🇸

They succeeded in making their immigrant journey to the US, only to have this horrible stuff happen.

and whip them on Election day

Especially when they are LEGAL IMMIGRANTS exactly like Moreno who immigrated from Colombia yet, according to the article, he racistly slams them as “illegals”. They have just as much right to be here and to be protected from NeoNazi violence and thuggery as you and every other human being deserves Bernie. A true fascist cretin he is who must be trounced at the ballot box.

It's like a twofer for them. They smear the refugees with horrible lies and get the bonus of distracting people from what Moreno did.

Make no mistake, the GOP spreading these lies was all about trying to stir Ohio voters to vote out Sherrod Brown so Republicans can take over the Senate. That is why Republicans are picking on these LEGAL Haitian immigrants in this small town in Ohio. They want to be able to block Democratic appointments to the federal bench. They want to block majority rule. This was as cynical as it gets.

As Heather Cox Richardson summarized it:

Controlling the country through the courts was the plan behind stacking the courts with Republican nominees and weaponizing the filibuster to stop Democrats from passing legislation. In March 2024, in Slate, legal analyst Mark Joseph Stern noted that McConnell “realized you don’t need to win elections to enact Republican policy. You don’t need to change hearts and minds. You don’t need to push ballot initiatives or win over the views of the people. All you have to do is stack the courts. You only need 51 votes in the Senate to stack the courts with far-right partisan activists…[a]nd they will enact Republican policies under the guise of judicial review, policies that could never pass through the democratic process. And those policies will be bulletproof, because they will be called ‘law.’”

Coincidence? Or an insidious plot by the Liberal Media? hahaha

It seems for every Sherrod Brown ad I see two Bernie Moreno ads. How is it looking for Sherrod in this critical race?

I’ve looked and couldn’t find this posted there, thus my suggestion.

I’m in Georgia, so I wanted to find out what Ohio DUers knew about all of this.

It’s just too important, we all need to see this. I really would like MSNBC or CNN to pick this up and broadcast it.

I had to leave the house and go door knocking for the Georgia Coordinating Committee for Harris-Walz campaign. I didn’t get home until the evening.

I read her most of the time on facebook, but haven't see anything on this and would like to read it.

Here’s an excerpt from her Substack article:

…snip…
The widespread ridicule of Trump’s statement has obscured that this attack on Ohio’s immigrants is part of an attempt to regain control of the Senate. Convincing Ohio voters that the immigrants in their midst are subhuman could help Republicans defeat popular Democratic incumbent senator Sherrod Brown, who has held his seat since 2007. Brown and Montana’s Jon Tester, both Democrats in states that supported Trump in 2020, are key to controlling the Senate.

Two Republican super PACs, one of which is linked to Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), have booked more than $82 million of ad space in Ohio between Labor Day and the election and are focusing on immigration.

Taking control of the Senate would enable Republicans not only to block all popular Democratic legislation, as they did with gun reform after the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre, but to continue to establish control of America’s judicial system. So long as their judges are in place to make law from the bench, what the majority of Americans want doesn’t matter.

In 1986, when it was clear that most Americans did not support the policies put in place by the Reagan Republicans, the Reagan appointees at the Justice Department broke tradition to ensure that candidates for judgeships shared their partisanship. Their goal, said the president’s attorney general, Ed Meese, was to “institutionalize the Reagan revolution so it can’t be set aside no matter what happens in future presidential elections.”
