IA-SEN 2022: Grassley vs Franken

[Calthrina950]

Hopefully, Dem donors also agree with her and dumb millions of dollars on that race

I’m actually unironically considering the possibility that she’s an Atlas poster/browser who just launched her campaign for the memes. What she said in that MSNBC clip sounds like first-class parody of all the IA takes on this forum ("again, in 2022, Donald Trump isn’t on the ballot", "in 2018, three out of four Congressional districts went to Democrats", "Republicans know they can’t win without Donald Trump on the ballot", pushing January 6 as the most 'effective' line of attack against IA Republicans, etc.).

If you’re actually reading this thread, Abby, I love you and thank you so much for this.

The most recent poll I saw showed Grassley leading Finkenauer by 18% (55-37%). She'll probably break 40%, and thereby become the first of Grassley's opponents since Culver to do so, but she won't do much better than that. And she's also seems to forget that she lost reelection last year.

Abby Finkenauer thinks low-propensity Trumpists will enable her to win without Trump on the ballot:

Republican lawmakers in Iowa will stand next to Donald Trump at his Des Moines rally this weekend. Former Rep. Abby Finkenauer – who is running for Senate in 2022 – says it’s because they know they can’t win without Donald Trump.

(listen to this, it’s actually hilarious)

What do you expect her to say?  "Yeah, I know I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning;" she's obviously not going to say that.

Honestly, this probably helps a hypothetical Trump 2024 campaign more than it helps Grassley.

D's don't need IA anyways it's WI, PA and Mai to get to 266 plus AZ, GA and VA to cross 270

Trump is showboating

Grassley isn't losing best thing for DS to focus on OH and NC

A pretty embarrassing setback for the Finkenauer campaign:

It's a 303 Map anyways Grassley, Blunt, Rubio and PORTMAN win by 2M votes that's why they haven't polled the Gov race, DeJear won't get closer than 7 pts Toomey, Johnson and all the 303 D's won by 20o K Votes our Provisional ballots Fink was never going to win in a Midterm cycle

[JMT]

If the Iowa Supreme Court upholds this decision to keep Finkenauer off the ballot, I imagine the Democratic primary frontrunner will be Michael Franken, a retired U.S. Navy Admiral who was the runner up in the 2020 senate primary. It appears he’d be a decent backup candidate (not that it really matters, since this race is Safe Republican regardless).

If the ruling is upheld, it’s a pretty embarrassing setback for Finkenauer that may impact her ability to run a successful campaign in the future (which is unfortunate, because she’s pretty young and could run for office again later on).

Lol now grassley will win by like 18 and Dems will tell us that they could have come close to winning with queen Abby

LOL. I dunno why Dems even bother to contest this race. It's Safe R anyways.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Alot of these races are to give D's fundraising numbers but who in their right mind is gonna donate at 41% Approvals except Hollywood or Middle class people the only one I would donate now is Barnes, Ryan is DONE unused to do ate to he is gonna lose like Bullock

D's every election cycle want you to donate but once the Election is over forget about you , it's called Act blue they do nothing after you donate, I donated alot during 2020 before Pandemic and the Ds didn't get the map anyways

People do throw it around too frequently but a Grassley reelection campaign in a Biden midterm in 2022 legitimately is Safe R

Grassley being alive for the race isn't a sure thing.

[Stuart98]

I mean hey, it means less resistlib money going to an unwinnable race instead of races it could make a difference in. That being said, these sorts of arcane, pointless rules are a contributing factor to why so many are disillusioned with politics.

You can't be serious Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Feinstein and Grassley are in their 80s the man hogs like Justice Breyer, if Trump was still in office Breyer would not have retired, some people think that just because you get old you are gonna die

65 is no longer a Death date it's a retirement date but if youba judge or a Doctor you can work well past that bc which most people di, retirement at 65 is only for Manuel Labor jobs
