You could be right.
But a note about one of the so-called ‘Trump chosen’ candidates. JD Vance did his share of Trump ass kissing, but not initially, and not nearly to the degree of most of the other candidates. I would certainly not consider him to have been ‘chosen’ by Trump. The early favorite to be the GOP nominee was former state GOP chair, Mary Timken. She was endorsed by outgoing Senator Portman, and Trump was a big fan. Her primary pitch was that no other candidate loved Trump more than her. Trump eventually endorsed Vance, but I would expect (or maybe hope) that Vance distances himself should he win tonight.
