Ernst doesn’t have enough experience in front of a camera to have taken on the role assigned to her last night. All the comments were some version of , “Bless her heart, she did fine.” Which means she didn’t faint in front of the camera.
The State of the Union address should be scrapped because it is nothing but a media circus and lends nothing to the nation’s understanding of our deteriorating condition. Having a response to the speech that is taped before the speech is given is simply stupid.
Precisely! When I heard that she was going to make the rebuttal, I damn near physically cringed. That was a job for someone who has been around the DC block at least once.

Joni is not particularly conservative, nor is she a slick huckster, but she has the potential to be an effective Iowan in the senate. She's also impressive in person, but needs some work to translate that into television appearances. The GOP-e doesn't seem to employ anyone who understands such things, so they pushed JE out there and doomed her appearance to be something of a "Bobby Jindal underwhelms" encore.
