IA-SEN 2020: Ernst megathread

[Mr. Smith]

Bayh Bayh to Iowa if this happens.

I hope Hubbell decides to primary if this is the case.

[Mr. Smith]

Fred Hubbell, or the person who would've been in SCOTUS if Obama had more spine.

Either of these would be better than Vilsack

[Mr. Smith]

The DSCC would be foolish to target this over CO, AZ, NC, and GA.

Which means, I'm sure, that they will.

They need all four of those too. 5 seats need to move. Unless you think there's some kind of vulnerability with Dan Sullivan or John Cornyn, or know a miracle worker in Maine, Montana to unseat those, Iowa is the next best shot.

[Mr. Smith]

It's absurd the DSCC has decided to back Greenfield a real estate developer who couldn't even manage to get on the ballot last year over a guy like this.

Given how they handled PA in 2010 and 2016, this really shouldn't be that surprising.

[Mr. Smith]

Ernst is her own worst enemy at this point

Lol if the GOP loses this seat, it would be the biggest own goal in a long time.

Ironic considering 2014 was won off an own-goal itself.

It does make me wonder if Harkin would be coasting right now if he hadn't retired [sorry, but I don't think he'd have lost to Ernst].

[Mr. Smith]

Another week, another Joni Ernst blunder

She'll still win. Iowa has fully embraced fascism at this point.

Ah yes, I'm quite a fan of Governor Hubbell too.

I think 2018 would disagree
