I don't see the political wisdom in insulting elderly farmers in Iowa. Not a brilliant strategy to win their votes. This guy is not ready for prime time.

someone who’s been literally fighting tort reform for 30 years in a visible and public way on the Senate Judiciary

This is the type A## that the Congress does not need and we should to protect the nation from. Scum ambulance chasers do not need to apply as a candidate for high office.

Not sure why it matters if Grassley has a law degree or not.

Constitution doesn't require one, and by my count, there's too many asshole lawyers in Congress and the White House!

of course if Bruce Braley were a Republican this story would have more life to it.

His heartfelt apology? “I’m sorry that was caught on videotape.”

a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school

All other things being equal, these are two outstanding recommendations !

I have a tiny bit of dirt on Braley. Believe it or not, I thought he was a repub. Now that I know better, I’ll be making a call to a newspaper. I work for the G., and I know at least one Wash Post reporter....

If Sen. Grassley can use this "fighting tort reform for 30 years" comment in a positive way this can decimate this lawyer before his run for Congress can start.

Tort reform equals lower medical costs (malpractice), lower insurance costs, and less money to the carpetbagger democratic party.

I remember a state senator in New York who was also a farmer. When Medicaid was proposed in the State Senate, he said it would bankrupt the state and was one of the few to vote against it. It eventually became so costly, it had to be revised.

As a member of the bar in ny, this attitude is common among white liberals.

If the GOP is smart enough to put this in ads everywhere. DESTROY BRALEY!

CLOVIS FOR CONGRESS!

Well, since many of our founders were farmers with no law degree. That only means something to a worthless democrat with no respect for the Constitution that those farmers and non-lawyers crafted. For all of his patriotism and abilities, probably the best lawyer among the founders was John Adams and he was as some think, purposely kept as an ambassador to keep him away from writing the Constituting.

RAT admits he’s a whore for the trial lawyers. I just wish voters were smarter.

Steve King and Grassley are two of the better members of the respective judiciary committees. Grassley is 80. Even if he had a law degree I don’t think it would be as relevant as all the informatin he has comprehended since.

Cornyn, Flake, Hatch and Graham need to be kicked off. Maybe if Jeff Sessions becomes leader he can kick them off and replace them with Vitter, Risch, Crapo and Enzi. Any of the 15 who voted not to proceed with the amnesty bill.

Rep. Bruce Braley is the same guy who whined about not getting his “towel service” at the House gym during the shutdown last October, while American vets were locked out of the monuments.

He’s a spoiled elitist. He could learn something about hard work from the farmers.

Braley showed his true colors as a condescending lawyer who got caught on camera spouting off to a bunch of trial lawyers. He hopefully will not replace Tom Harkin in the Senate. Neither Braley or Harkin are worthy of respect. They are Obama sycophants and liberal to the core. Iowa is waking up. Grassley is a proud farmer with a lot of commonsense. His family lives nearby and they are true American patriots. Change is in the air and this development is a gift toward that end. Braley’s comments were on the local news tonight and will be repeated over and over and over.
