Grassley is a crank who should have retired.
Joni Ernst is a hack who has never had an original thought in her life. Have no doubt that when it is her turn to speak she will ask some vapid rhetorical question that she will then proceed to answer herself.
Joni Ernst must be repealed and replaced in 2020!

In the era of Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, that "Delaware witch", and Michelle Bachmann, you have to out-crazy them somehow.

Her big schtick was an apparently well rehearsed plea to make sure the next election isn't hacked.
It was pure theater brought to you by Joni for senate 2020
