You people need to get rid of the MAGA nazis, Putinites in your party. You have to grow a spine and reject Trump without fear of retribution and do the right thing. How many of the party are going to give 5% of their money to broke and greedy Trump. How will you make amends for all the scandals the party has been involved in, jerrymandering, First Energy, Etc. Act with integrity and do the right thing by honoring your oath to duty. You will not have to fear Trump or the electrate.

I don't know of anyone that fears Trump. Making America Great Again is not making America into a Nazi camp - it is returning to traditional American Value and embracing the golden rule of treating others the way you would want to be treated. The Ohio Republican Party has had its scandals and guess what - it is up to Republicans, the Unaffiliated, and Democrats that know what ethical, moral, and lawful conduct is and insist on it. Being hyperbolic because you believe Trump is the anti-christ is not helping your cause and will cause people to tune you out. While I wish we had a candidate that was more Regeansque - we don't but it is also not the 1980s and society has become more hyperbolic over everything. We have monsters at the door and sometimes it is best to answer the door with a monster of your own. Trump is a populist, not a politician, and far from being perfect. The good Lord did not send us Trump we the people made him just as the people made Joe Biden. I think you resent the passion that people have for trump and how much they have emotionally invested in him. At this point, the louder you shout, the louder we will shout back and all consideration of logic and reason will be drowned out from our fighting. Republicanism is Libertarianism mixed with a healthy dose of Judeo-Christian conscience and a love of regulated free market capitalism that abhors monopolies. With Trump - it is less about the person and more about the policies in this world filled with so many lies and smears that no one knows who to trust and who to believe. We have seen rank bias and and overt unethical moral behavior in trying to keep Trump from being considered a nominee - this cheating and breaking of the law in the pursuit of smearing and maligning Trump only results in pushing his poll numbers higher. When people are asked - who do you believe Trump or the FBI - 7 out of 10 Americans believe Trump and 2 of those are the independents. It really is how we play the game that matters - while the gamesmanship may tie up Trump - it is so overt by the media and the courts - the American people will elect Trump just to restore sanity and gain a justice system back that actually provides justice.
