Joni Ernst. Really?

I know it was an unmitigated disaster last night, but this one stands out for me. She couldn't give a straight answer regarding what gender she is. Swell job, Iowa.

There are no bounds to the stupidity of the American voter. "Freedom" to rich conservatives means "fuck you, you poor fools." And you will all be quite poor soon because there appears to be a clog in the trickle down economics pipe... which has NEVER worked.

Also her speech on winning was worthy of Sarah Palin in its content. I want to know how this crop of Republicans are going to be more mainstream than the Tea Party Fascist?

This whole part of the election smells like rotten fish. I sure didn't vote for her and I don't know of anyone else that did.

Sound familiar?

of ignorant, easily-duped corn-shuckers. Why do you think IA is Ground Zero for Republican primary campaign season?

I did not vote for Ernst and don't know anybody else who did. We are not ignorant corn shuckers.

^That title likely covers it in a nutshell.

Now we get to see if she truly is a trainwreck or not.
