IA-SEN 2020: Ernst megathread

[voice_of_resistance]

I think Scholten probably will not run for Senate because Greenfield is running a similarly-themed campaign to him. Also her and Mathis will make a competitive primary. And Steve King is not getting any less racist, so my guess is that he runs again for the 4th district.

imo Scholten should run for the 4th because as long as our nominee is credible for Senate he will help cut down the Democratic losses in the 4th district, which are what did Hubbell in.

Look. If Trump could defy the midterm rule to have a net gain of 2 senate seats in 2018 by making up sh**t about a caravan and milking the Kavanaugh thing, there's no way to say that 2022 is going to be a disaster for Dems in the Senate. The only seats in any real danger would be AZ, NH, and GA depending on who wins the special this year. Meanwhile, Dems have a bunch of targets to go on offense at. No matter midterm year, red wave, blue wave, Dems win when they show up.
