I am very disappointed. I can find a little solace in the fact that Joni is a noob and is trying to get some solid footing....she is more susceptible to being handled by someone like McConnell strong-arming her.

I hope she hears from LOTS of Iowa voters and Trump supporters that she is making a YUGE mistake in helping this weasel named Flake.

[Bullish]

If the challenger is pro-Trump, then goodbye Flake and good riddance. People are wising up, even in AZ.

[SMGFan]

Ernst Don’t support Ward because she is a woman but would do a better job. Guess most incumbents would never oppose another because you need to work with each other, But no need to visit his state.

“Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)”

Idiot, or anti-Trumper or paid off or threatened?

[nopardons]

Ward IS very pro-Trump and now Joni needs to be gotten rid of..ASAP!

[Publius]

The Senate Majority Leader supports Flake, therefore his troops in the Senate are expected to fall into line. Failure to do so would mean a loss of influence within the Republican Senate caucus, influence that can make or break a senator. Ernst is doing what her position requires her to do, nothing more.

If McConnell is removed at some future time, the axis of power within the Senate will shift, and so will she.

Arizona needs a little Head and Shoulders.

She’s turned out to be a real disappointment...to put it mildly.

[nhwingut]

I think she was one of the few who didn’t turn her back on Trump during the election so this is a surprise.

[txrefugee]

Stick to your hog ads, sweetie, & leave other campaigns alone.

[9YearLurker]

What irks me is how that little viper—like so many others—deceptively climbed into office as supposed tea partiers.

[Paine in the Neck]

It didn’t take long for McConnell and Cornyn to co-opt her.

It seems near impossible for rookies to resist the Swamp’s siren call once they arrive in DC.

[Williams]

What a shock, politicians are worthless phonies. Total sarcasm.

[Beagle8U]

“Arizona needs a little Head and Shoulders.”

Well, Ernst is going to AZ to give...Shoulders?

[SandRat]

That's hoe you Slit Your Own Political Throat Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) .

[clintonh8r]

Old Playboy cartoon...,

First co-ed: What are you giving your boyfriend for his birthday?

Second co-ed: Head and Shoulders

First co-ed (puzzled): How do you give shoulders?

[Zenjitsuman]

I gave money to her campaign because she had Tea Party endorsing her, now that she outed herself, she will have me opting out of her emails.

I hate it when I have to admit I got fooled by a Rino.

[JayGalt]

Agreed, those guys are desperate. She may have been promised committee spots or pork. When it was time to show her colors she turned her coat.

[taxcutisapayraise]

RINOs:

Turds of a feather
Plop together

[starshiner]

How tone deaf. They leave town for 30 days and then come back and campaign. Will they ever do their jobs? Answer-No if it helps Donald Trump. Throw the bums out!
