This is one of the more unusual endorsements that tellthetruthonthem.com has made over the years. The endorsee is far from a pure progressive. In fact, he has morphed and continues to morph toward a progressive viewpoint as time goes on. It would be fair to currently describe him as a left-leaning moderate. Inside Democratic party politics I have not always agreed with every position and action he has taken. All that said Tim Ryan is far and away the best candidate for the open U. S.
