There's the ad on now that says Washington changed Joni

While it's good they're going after her I disagree with the premise of the ad. I don't think Washington changed her at all and that she as always a willing drone who was there to do the bidding of her wealthy benefactors.

2. Ernst was bought and paid for on day one. Politico Nov 12 2015

Ernst was then a little-known Iowa state senator and lieutenant colonel in the National Guard who was considering a long-shot campaign for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate. Polls showed more than 90 percent of her state’s voters had no opinion of her. At least a half-dozen other Republicans ― some with better funding and connections and stronger establishment support ― also were positioning themselves to run against the presumptive Democratic nominee, Rep. Bruce Braley.

But Ernst was being watched closely by allies of the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, who saw in her an advocate for their brand of free-market, libertarian-infused conservatism. Operatives affiliated with the Kochs’ political network invited Ernst to the network’s August 2013 gathering of wealthy conservative donors at a posh resort in Albuquerque’s Santa Ana Pueblo.

Ernst later told POLITICO she had no idea "how my name came through those channels." But her appearance at the event impressed donors and was followed by an infusion of support that helped Ernst win the GOP nomination and, eventually, a Senate seat. It also represented a new phase in the rapid expansion of the Koch-backed political network ― its willingness to become involved in primary fights among GOP candidates — potentially putting it on a collision course with the official Republican Party.

Koch Brothers market research put her in the senate and damn was she good for them.

3. Joni went to Washington as basically a shapeless mound of clay for someone to mold

all she cared about was being elected again. Thus she followed the (campaign) money and became what they told her to be.

She is the epitome of a Republican woman whose only job is to do what they are told.
