DeWine and Portman endorsed Dolan, but Moreno won huge. Are old-guard Republicans dead to Ohio voters?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : He also said he would support Trump in the general election.
54% : "This is the last gasp of breath of the swamp RINO establishment in Ohio, and I need you on Tuesday to stab it right in the heart and make it clear that in Ohio, we put America first," Moreno said during a Saturday rally in Dayton with Trump.
50% : " DeWine's standing among Ohio conservatives has fallen in the last few years for other reasons, including his controversial coronavirus policies and his veto last December of anti-transgender legislation.
44% : "Now there's literally a loyalty test as a candidate or as an incumbent -- you have to show and demonstrate loyalty to Trump himself, not just that you align with him on policy positions.
40% : The lesson that other "old guard" Republicans should take from that, Sutton said, is that simply campaigning on the same platform as Trump isn't enough.
37% : But while DeWine acknowledged the "significant impact" that Trump has had on Ohio Republican politics, he balked at the suggestion that what it means to be a Republican in the Buckeye State is changing.
32% : "If they don't secure favor with Trump first, they're never going to get the backing of that constituency," Sutton said, referring to pro-Trump conservatives.
19% : When he became governor in 2019, DeWine walked the tightrope of supporting Trump - who was then president - in terms of policy issues, but without becoming a cheerleader for Trump himself.
