So what is your opinion of his performance in Helsinki? 'Cause he sure didn't look very tough to me beside Putin.
This is international politics, political posturing, personal mannerisms and political rhetoric, the media hype at these events, can be deceiving in many instances. The substance of actions and results that we will see in the following months, those will be what matter.
What was percentage turnout for eligible Republican and Democrat voters in ohio district 12?
this d12 Ohio election will be replayed in November 2018 won't it? I don't know if I'd have shown up to the polls yesterday considering the person who wins this election will have to run again in a couple of months.
This term for this seat will end in November. So the same two Republican and Democrat candidates will be running for it again in Nov.
It's very likely a lot of voters don't bother to vote in primaries, and only come out in November.
It's odd how so many see a seat that has been solidly GOP for years as a win when they barely held on to it this time.
On the flip side, it's odd how people like you can't comprehend that Rep. Patrick Tiberi has been the man winning reelection to this seat since he was first elected to it in 2001.
It's not been as if one nameless, faceless GOPer after another keeps getting elected to this seat, it's been the same candidate. The people obviously liked him. Not everyone voting in elections is a partisan, political party hack who blindly elect anyone with a D or and R after their name.
Tariffs do not belong to the "hard left." The famous large-scale tariffs of 1930, the Smoot-Hawley Act, was written by two Republicans and signed by Herbert Hoover (R). The conservative isolationism of the 1920's strongly resembles the anti-globalism "America First" attitude that's popular with conservatives today.
While tariffs are historically a right wing policy, the left wing can also advocate them as well, especially if labor unions think they will help protect jobs; we also heard some of that from Bernie Sanders.
Today we have Trump, Pelosi and Schumer all standing side by side, endorsing Trump's tariffs, albeit they may view the purpose and function of these tariffs in different ways.

I'm not sure what this has to do with me or what I said.

That's a fair enough comment.
This year, the R's got 101,000 votes and the D's got 99,000 votes.
In 2016 the R's got 251,000 and the D's got 112,000. So it looks like the D's were energized (at least somewhat) but just didn't have the numbers to pull off a win.
I'd look for - what - about 200,000 R votes in November.

Were those the numbers for the primary? Keep in mind that 2016 was also a presidential election year, and many people don't vote in off year elections, much less primaries in an off year.
EDIT: I see you lowered your number from 250k to 200k, so maybe you are taking into account that it's an off year election.
Simple, candidate X holds a seat for 18 years in-a-row, and you think it's about party, and not the person holding the seat.
Trump won the district big.

Trump and Patrick Tiberi won big. Patrick Tiberi won big for 18 years, even though Barack Obama won the 12th district by a margin of 53% to 46%.
Troy Balderson is not Obama, or Trump, and he is not Tiberi.
Not everyone is a partisan party man, who votes straight Party ticket, no matter who the candidates are. That's what you may be missing here.
Or not.
