CNN ^ | June 10, 2019 | Jennifer Agiesta and Grace Sparks

Majorities of likely Iowa Democratic caucus participants say any candidate who hopes to win their support must favor a woman's right to abortion, recognize climate change as humanity's greatest threat, and support restoration of a ban on assault-style weapons, according to a new CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll.

Other issues, including recent campaign touchstones such as support for Medicare for All, free tuition for public four-year colleges and restoration of felon voting rights are must-haves for less than half of caucusgoers, regardless of whether they plan to participate virtually or in person.

Goes without saying. In my wide circle of acquaintances, I have a number of lefties. Some of them are really big on their rights to kill the unborn, but not a single one is a climate change chicken little or wants to grab my gun.

Sooner or later they will ban buns.
Sooner or later those same guns will be used against them.

Bring it, b*stards, bring it.

I am starting to believe that climate change is the greatest threat to humanity. Now if the lefties can provide proof beyond the shadow of a doubt, I’ll start doing my part. Until then, they can all go pound sand.

I have a couple who don’t think I need my guns, but they are my wife’s friends so that really doesn’t count and I have to tolerate them for her sake.

I do however make it a point to have them “accidentally” laying around whenever I know one will show up. My wife rolls her eyes, but she gets me so plays dumb as to why the .50 BMG needs t be sitting by the doorwall in case I see a beaver swimming around in the lake behind the house.

Typically out of touch Democrat Iowans, but the MSM will continue to tell us that these people are the heartbeat of America.

LOL! This is rural SW Pennsylvania, which is almost ground zero for gun ownership. I've heard that PA is second only to Texas in the number of gun owners. "Lifetime member of the NRA" is an almost mandatory phrase for campaign literature in these parts.

So maybe they just judiciously keep their mouths shut.

It's a thing with the left. They assume the infrastructure magically repairs itself, the dams never age, the garbage gets picked up, and they can run off tilting at windmills, and the money will always flow.

Those are, of course, the useful idiots who currently can't understand why the streets of San Francisco are full of feces, the streets of LA are full of homeless camps, and the dams are breaking, the electricity is no longer reliable and the bathrooms at the fast food joints are full of needles.

Illegal invasion should be the top concern. The climate change hoax is definitely a threat pushed by a bunch of watermelons. Wait a minute. Iowa. Watermelons. Corn. Vegetables. There could be a connection.

Killing kids.

Doom-mongering.

or wants to grab my gun

I just heard my USMC Dad yelling "you better not let another man touch that!", but my real comment was: Well, maybe they have not come right out and said that they want to grab your, ahem...firearms, but these are lefties, right?

As a former resident of the state of Iowa, I’m not surprised. (Left in 1977 and NEVER went back.)

The Iowa caucuses are gatherings of loud lunatics. What decent person would set foot into a Democratic caucus?

[[or wants to grab my gun]]

I’ve known a number of liberals who are more pro gun than the typical “Golfers with Guns” I meet at my club. This issue will and has crossed ideological lines.

It doesn’t make any sense but there it is.

Climate Change and Gun Control are two items which will NOT play in the Midwest Battleground States.
