I honestly don't think Dems will have a super hard time flipping Iowa. Sand has lead whatever Republican they've put him against. Reynolds was getting beat by generic Dems. And Joni was getting beat by generic Dems as well. Polls have consistently shown Democrats beating Republicans in Iowa.

'Bi' that I mean I love schmokin' cawk, but I'll also **** a broad who believes I'm not a huge phaggot!"

Hopefully, but never underestimate the stupidity of the American, especially the Iowan, electorate.
Yeah, hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see it.

I also sort of have my hands over my eyes with the governor race….Sand is the best dem candidate in years….but I won’t believe he can do it until he’s sitting in Terrace Hill
One thing to consider is Iowans have already elected Sand to statewide office. He is a known commodity. I feel like Sand and Turek have generated a lot of energy, that will drive out voters. There is also a lot of pent up anger in the middle from people who are tired of one party rule. Tired of tax dollars going to the kids of IC Regina and Dowling while their school makes cuts. The doctor is right in a later post by emphasizing the epic level of non white and trans hatred the GOP will spew, but that only carries so far when you are losing access to health care, your local government is cutting back services, and you are worried about cancer water and data centers. I guarantee you Lahn, Hinson, MMM, and Nunn are going to have a tough time talking about data centers and cancer water.

Nicole Wallace made a great point on Lib TV today, which Republicans in a tough fight are going to want a visit from Donald Trump? He is going to interject himself into elections because he can't say no to standing in front of flags and talking, but if you are MMM do you want local coverage of an aging, confused man sweating away at a rally where MMM gets 2 minutes to speak? I suspect Lahn and Hinson will try and do a rally with Trump in ruby red part of the state, but, as Wallace pointed out, when you are polling in the 30s, you bring a lot of bad energy with you.

I love all of these Iowa politics threads. But everyone has to keep in mind one simple fact. Iowa has all of six (count 'em, six) electoral votes. (If a tree falls in the forest and no one is watching, did it really fall?)

For those of living in the state, the GOP have held office for going on 2 decades. They've drove this state into the ground to benefit themselves. Especially our current governor. We're ready for some change regardless of how irrelevant others see us nationally.

Also, you're welcome for feeding your fat *** 🤣

Yeah, but for the poor a-holes that still live there, it is a big deal.

Says the guy that constantly brings me up in conversations.
The McJizz name is a great touch as well. Calling me that because I was making fun of your buddy who jizzed his pants before he went on a date.
Glad to see it’s clearly not bothering you.

From a national perspective, Mississippi North is insignificant, no doubt.

What is relevant is as a now DEEP Red State, there are signs that Republicans are in trouble.
A now "lean" Dem for Governor, three Congressional districts now tossups, and a Senate race that was believed a lock for Republicans is now close.

Trump is now a Dem asset as 3/4 of the GOP candidates are Trump lapdogs.
