Is there any truth to the rumor that Braley utterly humiliated Ernst at tonight's debate (especially when Ernst denied climate change)?
Partially.
• Ernst admitted that she does not understand the science behind climate change, yet believes that it exists.
• Ernst cited CAP AND TRADE as an example of a federal law that hurts Iowans.
• This exchange:
> Braley accuses Ernst of being a Koch puppet
> Ernst says that Braley isn't running against the Koch bros, he's running against her
> Braley retorts that Obama isn't on the ballot in Iowa - he is
> Braley says that if elected, Ernst will owe everything to the Koch bros
• Ernst said that her support of a personhood amendment was just "a statement" that she is "in favor of life".
