I wish there were PMs on here, so we could communicate privately and share contact info. I don't have an opinion on Mandel except that I respected him when he ran for Sherrod Brown's seat, and he has to be better than Timken for the reasons you stated. Those reasons are why I believe her to be a typical RINO. Also, Mandel has a history of at least saying the right things throughout Trump's presidency from the few searches I ran a week ago or so. Since he's been saying these things through the course of the last four years you could say he has somewhat of a MAGA record albeit it was pretty much from the sidelines. The comments weren't made from a position of power where his feet were held to a fire- the point at which RINOs are made and revealed....and cave to the mob.
