I thought he bragged that he hit all 99 counties. Looks like that has stopped.

In a lot of counties he visits a business or the Chamber of Commerce but will not meet with the public.
Who knows when the last time Grassley made a public appearance in Johnson county? Ernst did so a couple years ago and I would bet you she won't do it again.

Grassley made a public appearance in Muscatine when he was screwing the SCOTUS and got reamed. Hasn't made a public appearance since.

These days he is hiding in very small towns in the west & south for public appearances and does businesses and chambers on the east side of the state.

She is now an official Trump bootlicker and Washington Trumpie.

She needs to be voted out in 2020.

She will try to do her "no controversy" campaign like she did in 2014 when she refused to meet with editorial boards etc. Won't work this time, I believe.

I don't think she castrated any in Washington like she promised, unless I missed it.
