Allowing for the fact that some viewers may have refreshed their page, that means that the number of viewers were either in the lower five figures or lower six figures. Considering that the video was posted rather late at night, it appears that the exposure is larger than you suspect.

Most of them squeamishly bleep out the naughty word, but everybody knows what he said.

6. Rare for BTC to allow the video to run longer than his own commentary, but this was so good

I think the line was about 'we need an ass-kicker and not an ass-kissser' in the Senate

5. That's how you do it, you define the radical sob and give voters a reason to reject him

If Tim Ryan doesn't win this race, I'm gonna have to think Ohio has been locked up Republican since William Howard Taft and there's something very bizarre about that.

7. The Debate.

The whole debate will be watched by many.. I watched it this morning.

This is the reason DeWine will not debate Nan Whaley. He know what she would do with his record. Instead he runs around pretending to be good old Mike. He has a record that shows he is corrupt to the bone and will get worse.

9. JD Vance on ass kissing

“My intuition with Trump, it's interesting, I think that he gets a certain kick out of people kissing his a--,” Vance told NBC News in a telephone interview Wednesday. “But I also think he thinks that people who kiss his a-- all the time are pretty weak.”

"An Ass-Kicker Not An Ass-Kisser", with appropriately placed iconography of a tough-guy combat boot and a cutesy-looking lipstick kiss.

12. LOVE that he calls him "J.D. Vance" and not "J.D." which is too familiar and friendly. Like O.J.

13. Vance is artfully and honestly shown to be a soulless, lying, kisser of butt

Ohio is going to put him in the Senate because there are enough Ohioans who see his shady amoral weakness as virtue, and their ranks are buttressed by the extremely cynical and cold-blooded Dana Loesch types who feel it more important to get a gun-rights supporting lying fascist leaning Republican in the Senate than a decent, intelligent, and honorable man like Ryan.
