lol, just like Cuomo is about to get 1994'ed, right?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Good, but we don't have a candidate for Gov

No, you’re getting it all wrong. Iowa is a deep blue state when Trump’s not on the ballot. When Trump is on the ballot, though, millions upon millions of uncivilized low-prop hicks flood the polling places to cast a vote for their God Emperor.

Those voters will NEVER, EVER vote again, though. Now that Don T is out of the picture, they forgot how to vote. Nobody knows how or why, but it is what it is.

Unless Republicans run the esteemed Perdue/Comstock ticket and flip Fairfax and Gwinnett, they will be locked out of the presidency forever......

Safe R. If Fred Hubbell couldn't beat Kim Reynolds in 2018, I don't see any Democrat doing it in 2022.

Well it's nice to know she suffers middling approvals, but she's sadly going to get reelected.

While Empress Abby might be running for Senate instead of Governor, her coattails will easily pull any Democrat over the finish line, especially in a swing state (which was a Trump state, NOT a red state) against Karen Reynolds. People seem to be forgetting that Iowa elected a 75% Democratic delegation in the last midterm, and doing so again in 2022 should be cake without Trump on the ballot.

Early in 2009, Blanche Lincoln was largely seen as a shoo-in for re-election. Since then, Arkansas has gone from being a good state for moderate Democrats to one that could vote for someone who would repeal the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments as an excuse for a good "business climate". Kim Reynolds bungled the response to COVID-19 catastrophically... and I expect any Democratic nominee to make much of that.

Reynolds is more likely to run for Senate (assuming Grassley retires, as I think he will.).

I think the GOP ticket will be Kim Reynolds for Senate and Pat Grassley for Governor in Iowa.

Reynolds, I traveled to IA doesn't want a commuters job to DC, she lives in Des Moines, she is fairly moderate except for abortion rights, the WC loves Reynolds and we don't have a Gov candidate anyways unlike Oh where Tim Ryan whom never lost a race but the Dem nomination for Prez and that doesn't count and AA make up 12 Percent

We don’t know how Iowa will behave in the post-Trump era, especially since it’s intrinsically prone to wild swings. For all we know, the end result could be anywhere between Reynolds +3 and Sand +25. However, the one thing that is clear is that’s obviously not looking good for Reynolds right now, and her campaign will have a hard time navigating Fink's presence at the top of the ticket and Biden's popularity in IA.

[sting in the rafters]

Memes aside it's far too out to be taking approvals at face value. Reynolds disapproval being 47% is believable, but she'll surely get to 52-53% of the vote by election day 2022.

The silver lining is that if it does indeed end up being ~R+5 there's a good chance Dems could pick up at least one of IA-01 or IA-02.

[ElectionsGuy]

I like how there are voters that approve of Reynolds but don't want her to run again.
