Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said on Tuesday that he won’t meet with President Donald Trump during his visit to Dayton, Ohio on Wednesday due to Trump’s “racist rhetoric” and “total unwillingness” to address gun control.

Extremely smart of him. He was just re-elected so he doesn’t have to worry about an upcoming election and he’s very well thought of in OH. The Mayor of Dayton should do the same.
Thank you, Senator. That’s how it’s done.
I think it would be fitting to instead commemorate the Bowling Green Massacre…
Didn’t know the racist-in-chief was even going to Dayton till now. Good for this Senator for saying this. Too bad it’s not a Rethug saying the same thing.
Portman will be there with his lips firmly affixed to Spankee’s ass.
Given the weather, it seems like it would be a good time to sealcoat the local airport runways, and give them a couple of days to really dry…
Or do what Mayor Daley did when he closed Meigs Field in Chicago…
I am more and more sad every day that Brown did not run for president. He appeals to just the voters we need (and Biden appeals to) but is younger and less prone to mis-steps/mis-speaking. Perhaps he might not have caught fire, but he has the strengths that Biden lacks (age for one and an adilbity to connect with younger voters) and none of the baggage that Warren and Sanders have.
Good example here, where the Democrats need to start saying “we respect the office of the president, but will not be seen with this guy who is responsible for this situation, and is making it worse, rather than trying to fix it”
I think that Senator Brown should meet with Trump. And on the same podium, talk directly to Trump’s face what his words have done and how he should behave. Dress him down in public.
Perhaps the Racist-in-chief should be invited to Toledo, Ohio, where he thinks the mass murder happened. He can then travel to bowling green with the evil one of the conway family, and pay his respects there as well.
Yes, but would be happy to see him get the VP nod for… say Harris?
I would love to see that, but Brown knows that Trump tightly controls his appearances, and would never give him the opportunity. It would be a handshake off-mic, and he’d never get near the stage.
I’ll bet the stage prop will be a factory location, where Trump will boast about how he’s bringing back jobs to the rust belt, while bemoaning mental health problems caused by videogames in young white males.
Yep. I would bet you are correct.
Harris had the inside shot - but she listened to someone (my guess is her sister) who advised her to go left. Now she has signed onto (1) the “green new deal” (sorry, no airline flights for you) as well as (2) Bernie’s Medicare for all (sorry, you can’t have private health insurance, you will get the same health care that the government decided you need, and gives to homeless people and those who don’t work) and (3) for good measure lets just have slavery reparations.
All are underwater in approval, with Medicare for all getting at most 35% approval, and reparations not cracking 20% approval.
The reason why most African-American voters are not supporting Harris is that they think she is un-electable spouting far left positions, and they want to beat Trump, not re-run the Jill Stein campaign of 2016.
I love Sherrod Brown and wanted him to run (though I don’t support his views on NAFTA).
But DeWine would appoint whoever he wanted to serve in Brown’s open seat (do you trust him to pick a Democrat because that’s normally what is done?) and then they’d have an election and there is very little guarantee that a Democrat would win (Sherrod Brown is singular in the state as to getting support from all corners of the state).
I love Sherrod Brown to pieces and I love him right where he is.
It’s the first I heard of it too, and it surprised me. Then I realized how it fits a narrative. He’ll go to El Paso first and there will be demonstrations, probably with majority Hispanic crowds. Then he’ll go to Ohio where he can count on more of his supporters showing up, to offset any demonstrations. Maybe even do his little speech in a conference center as a pseudo-rally, with controlled attendance.
It will draw a contrast between those no-good Browns at the border vs. the Good (White) People of Ohio. This whole trip is a taxpayer-funded campaign operation, not a “healing” visit at all. It was probably Miller’s idea that he should do this.
They will likely boo him in both places unless he is setting it up as a campaign rally instead of a presidential visit. I don’t put it past him to make it a campaign rally.
