I left the state 25 years ago but still have family and friends there. There is a pretty impressive pool of senatorial candidates, so I have hope. Plus, I know the communities where Grassley had his town halls. Much of that outrage was coming from people who voted for him.

Iowa used to be more purple. A democrat held Ernst’s seat for 30 years. She was elected when he retired. An evangelical wave took over many communities. It is possible that they are waking up now because these policies are actually hurting them.

I love that he is resisting Trump, but we have 2 1/2 years to primary season. I have a hard time looking past him cozying up to Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. Also, please explain how his current attacks on homeless encampments are ok.

I see your point, but what about the desire to exclude children with different ethnicities, religions, or backgrounds. Also those public indoctrination centers don’t teach the science of flat earth. (Sarcasm voice)

Shall we have him explain the role of polygamy in the Bible? His wife is listed as a podcaster and businesswoman. Is she submitting? I have more faith in my 29 year marriage, based on mutual respect, than any opinion of his.
