Touting his ability to win the midwestern states that vaulted Donald Trump into the White House in 2016, Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio on Thursday declared his candidacy for the presidency. My daughter said to me, with tears in her voice, ‘You have to do something,’” Ryan explained. Ryan, who describes himself as a "lifelong Rust Belt native," said in his TV appearance that “I can win western PA, I can win Ohio. And that means Donald Trump is going back to Mar-a-Lago (the Florida resort owned by Trump) full time.”And criticizing his own party, the congressman spotlighted that “we stopped going to rural America. We come off sometimes as hostile to business,” he lamented as he spoke the day after self-proclaimed democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont launched his second straight White House campaign.
