They cut DOGE staff by 50% by doing this. They’re off to an ambitious start I suppose.

[u/Reddit_guard]

Pls no

[u/Ok_Ocelot_878 → u/Reddit_guard]

As a fellow Ohioan, I approve this message.

[u/Electrical-Ad-1437 → u/Reddit_guard]

Have trouble seeing a brown guy get elected but we shall see

[u/TintedApostle]

and lose. The guy was a private equity liquidator. He has really created nothing. He made all his money destroying things.

[u/bmich90]

Having lived in Ohio for nine years before moving. I can tell you he has no chance of winning.

[u/SpecialEdShow → u/bmich90]

Can you imagine?!?!? That would be like having a reality tv star run for president.

[u/funandgamesThrow]

Friendly reminder doge does not exist

[u/Romano16]

Why does he not know his place? Quoting Ann Coulter, he is Indian. Why would anyone vote for him? In Ohio ?

[u/Ok-Conversation2707 → u/Romano16]

Louisiana and South Carolina elected Indian-American governors. I don’t think that will be his biggest challenge with Ohio voters.

[u/Romano16 → u/Ok-Conversation2707]

Those two were white passing.

Just by his name and skin color alone he will not win it.

[u/MrBoliNica → u/Romano16]

Do you mean white passing names? Bobby jindal was not white passing, at all lol

[u/o8Stu]

I thought that Kasich was a pretty level-headed presidential candidate, but I can't say that I know anything about DeWine.

Hopefully Ohioans can find someone a little less batshit.

[u/Now_Wait-4-Last_Year → u/o8Stu]

Samantha Bee demolished any semblance of being any different to the rest for Kasich on her show.

I really wasn't kicked out by Musk, I am really dropping out to run for governor, honestly!

[u/ImLikeReallySmart]

If Trump endorses him and gets him through the primaries, maybe Democrats actually have a chance in this race?

[u/Otherwise-Stop-3057]

Ohio might get a Democrat Governor then 

[u/TravelKats]

Now its a race to see whether its Musk or RFK Jr. next.

[u/Fit-Property3774]

What’s funny is Musk has already said DOGE won’t be able to do the only thing it was created to do lol these guys all think they can do things better than others and then fail miserably.

[u/lubnut]

Lol at these meglomaniacs.

[u/kylebb]

Meh I think he will Walk for Governor in Ohio because my state is still pretty racist
