With Braley stumbling so badly, Ernst is well in the picture, tied in the latest poll 43 to 43. She has other problems though that those of us in the leadership have been trying to address.

If she fixes those, she could crush Braley because the guy is an insufferable elitest douche, and there’s nothing in Iowa that will beat a candidate faster that being that.

So, if Ernst, who campaigns as a Conservative, becomes more populist, she might crush Braley?

Um, that's exactly why Conservatives are fighting a civil war in the Republican Party, isn't it?

By the way, the Democrat presidential nominee lost seven out of eight elections in Iowa between 1952 and 1984, so there used to be a few Conservatives hiding there at one point in time.
