1. My District

It was a one two punch. First Braley gave up his seat to run for Harken's Senate seat. He lost to Ms. Koch. Blum is a cardboard cut out who took Braley's seat.

2. That District had been a Dem Stronge Hold .

If the Farm Economy continues to go South. All those Germans will jump ship and return to the Dem fold. Have Farmer Cousin's in your District,and they are worried about their Grain Markets because of Trump's pissing off the Mexican Grain Buyers as well as the Canadian Buyers.

3. My district (3rd) is still leaning R. Hopefully the 1st and 3rd will continue to shift back left

in the coming weeks and months.

I don't hold out any hope for the 4th district. I expect King to survive another term.

4. Excellent!!!

I hate it that IA-01 is in Rethug hands.

Additionally, that's Larry Sabato's firm, and they made 25 or 26 other changes to races' status, and every one of them was in favor of Democrats!!!!

5. best wishes up there

I expect Trump to continue to fuck up and I expect Blum to cling tightly to him.

6. Yeah I would love to see Abby or one of the other Democrats win

We'll finally have representation in Congress again if that happens. As far as I'm concerned right now we don't since Blum kisses fuck face ass.

7. Dems better start making media waves.

KWWL and KCRG are mum on Dem candidates in IA-1. Total radio and TV silence. Anonymous.

Somebody needs to stir the cauldron of dissent in a MAJOR way. Command some attention. This is a race we can win if somebody get their shit together. Skip the primary. Step up to the plate and start POUNDING Blum.
