1. Tho it's probably just election talk.

[Sherman A1]

2. Good

[Bettie]

3. She's also running ads claiming she's 'bipartisan"

LMAO! That is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Joni Ernst, "your bipartisan senator"!

[WyattKansas]

5. All Republicans claim to be bipartisan as long as they are in charge.

The fact is that 99% of Republican politicians are habitual liars and frauds that don't even bother with the facts anymore that are openly hostile to the United States of America.

And wasn't Joni all about no safety policies throughout tRUMP's Super Spreader Pandemic?

11. Repub bipartisanship: Be reasonable, do it MY way...

[MurrayDelph]

14. ... and when it fails

we'll blame you.

[TwilightZone]

10. Believe it or not, that sells in Iowa.

Lived in the vicinity for a couple of decades. Many of them really do believe that every R to the left of Steve King is a moderate, thus bipartisan. It's a pretty odd place, politically.

13. I live in Iowa now

and I don't think most people are buying it this time around. She's made it really, really clear that she's only interested in how much cash she can pocket while in the Senate.

At least Grassley (who is awful too) pretends to care about people in Iowa.

4. As they ALL should be: Here's looking at you Leningrad Lindsey

You already look like a SUPER SPREADER!

[Volaris]

6. Lol I'll translate:

That's WeaselSpeak for:

'If i have to defend this SC pic, let alone vote for it, I'm screwed and I know it. Problem is, I'm actually too chickenshit to just come out and say that, so any excuse to NOT HAVE TO DO THAT, is what I think is going to be in my own best interest in getting re elected'

7. Lordy, I hope her nervous hand doesn't tremble when she's castrating Democrats.

[DarthDem]

8. Agree, she does sound nervous

And that makes sense. She has zero accomplishments to run on. Zero. Well, other than voting in lockstep to put Trump judges on various federal courts, of course.

[madaboutharry]

9. She is down by 5.

She has emphatically supported confirming a SC Justice, even if Trump loses and the Senate flips....that's right. She is on record as supporting a confirmation during a lame duck session.

During her debate with Democratic nominee Teresa Greenfield, Ernst blathered on about the (non-existent) "Biden Rule" as justification for a confirmation. It was blah blah blah at its finest.

She was trailing Greenfield by between 1 and 3 points. Then along came Amy Coney Barrett. Now Ernst is down by a solid 5 in multiple polls.

I hope these numbers stick.

12. this is the seat that MIGHT put us in charge
