Former President Donald Trump really has it in for the few Republicans who voted to impeach him in January, and right now he’s gunning for one Ohio Republican, in particular, and aims to unseat him in the 2022 mid-term elections, Raw Story reports.

Republicans have converged on Mar-a-Lago, seeking endorsements and financial support from his well-padded PAC, and that’s likely to continue as he heads to his golf club in New Jersey in order to avoid Florida’s summer heat. And as all this clamoring is going on, it appears Trump is focusing on seeking retribution against Republicans in the House or Senate that voted to impeach him prior to the 2020 reelection.

That list includes Congressman Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio). This may prove to be quite the challenge for Trump because Gonzalez has compiled a sizable war chest and the odds are that he’ll face a Trump-supported primary challenger with a very thin resume and next to nothing to go on other than perhaps a well-heeled family.

“In a normal political world and in a normal political time, a second-generation Cuban-American former NFL player from the Rust Belt with an MBA from Stanford would be considered practically by any definition a rising GOP star,” writes Politico’s Michael Kruse. “But Gonzalez’s impeachment decision made him a traitor in the eyes of the man who is manifestly the unofficial leader of the party. It’s the reason Trump wasted no time in endorsing Max Miller — a former aide with next to no name ID plus an arrest record — to try to take out Gonzalez. And it’s why the 16th District of Ohio is now a singular early battlefield in the former president’s intensifying intraparty war.”

And at least one Trump-aligned political consultant is saying “Max is going to beat the hell out of Anthony,” but others who live in the district are saying guess again.

“As battlefields go, Ohio as a whole is more red than purple, and so is the 16th District — but it’s replete as well with warning signs for Trump that his quest for retaliation might succeed only in further tearing the party apart,” Kruse writes. “[Miller] is an electoral novice and the scion of a wealthy, politically connected family from the opposite side of Cleveland in a city in which many believe that divide still matters. And since he’s announced his bid, his critics say he’s been hanging around the Trump stronghold of southeast Florida more conspicuously than he’s been out and about in Northeast Ohio.”

But at least one Gonzalez ally says the incumbent doesn’t plan to go down without a fight.

“It ain’t gonna be pretty. It’s just not,” the source said.

That led Kruse to note:

“All of this makes Ohio’s 16th worth watching as an early, distilled look at the potential limits and pitfalls of Trump’s shoot first, aim later style, his personality-driven, fealty-fueled, viscerally scattershot politics of retribution.”

Kruse also cited this explanation from David Pepper, the former chair of the Ohio Democratic Party.

“It’s a perfect example of how Trump could really hurt not just the near-term but the future of the Republican Party,” Pepper said. “It’s all about a loyalty test to him that almost will put targets on the backs of some of their best people.”

But, notes Kruse, “the issue within the Republican electorate, of course, is that there is fierce disagreement about who those ‘best people’ are.”

Kruse also mentions Miller’s rather colorful arrest record.

“He was charged with assault and disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in 2007 after a fight in which he punched another man in the back of the head and ran from police. He pleaded no contest to a pair of misdemeanors, and the case was dismissed on account of a program for first offenders. He was charged with underage drinking in 2009, the case dismissed due to the same program. And he was charged with disorderly conduct in 2010 following a fight after leaving a hookah bar in the wee hours in which he bloodied his wrist by punching a glass door.”

Let’s hope Gonzalez makes the most of this. Trump doesn’t need any more ammunition than he already has.
