Sen. Bread Bags (and Trump) in trouble in Iowa

[manhattan123]

From the NYT:


"But with the political ground shifting precariously under Mr. Trump amid multiple crises, Iowa is unexpectedly in play in the presidential and Senate races this year, moving Republicans to high alert. Democrats, who a few years ago were shrouded in despair that their party might never again appeal to white working-class voters, are energized."

But Ms. Greenfield is turning Ms. Ernst’s celebrated anti-establishment catchphrase against her rival. “Senator Ernst told Iowans in 2014 she was going to be independent and different and she was going to ‘make ’em squeal,’” Ms. Greenfield said in an interview, echoing a television ad six years ago in which Ms. Ernst said she would take a knife to federal spending the way she castrated hogs on the farm. “The bottom line is nobody’s squealing except Iowans.”

4. It shows the importance of ALWAYS putting up a viable candidate

Sometimes Democrats just don't even bother competing. You see races where Republicans literally run unopposed or, at best, with an unqualified or joke opponent.

Even if the odds are against the Democrat winning in some of these red states, and 99.9 percent of the time they probably are, ya never know what's going to change on the ground.
