| Right message, wrong candidate |
If you had asked me after the 2016 election if we would have had a shot to defeat Joni Ernst in Iowa in 2020, I would have been a solid no. Ernst won her initial election easily (albeit against a weak candidate), as did Trump in taking Iowa's six electoral votes. While it still is going to be an uphill struggle, I wouldn't rule it out anymore. Ernst has proven to be a
much weaker candidate than advertised.
She continues to support Trump while
farming bankruptcies in her state are going through the proverbial barn roof thanks to his idiotic tariffs. She
can't decide whether or not asking foreign governments to interfere in our elections is wrong. She talks tough about deficits but voted for Trump's tax cut for the wealthy...which have had the effect of sending the nation's deficits through the White House roof. With each passing day, it appears Ernst isn't quite the candidate she promised Iowans she would be.
And who would have ever guessed that a republican candidate who
touted herself as Xena, Warrior Princess, would turn out to be Joni, Creampuff Senator?
Fuck Donald Trump,
