The only bright spot in her election is that now the senate wars are about to start. The GOP will beat itself to death with people like her in the upper house, She make Michele Bachmann look sane.

All this proves is that a lot of Iowans are really fucking stupid. Oh, I live in S.C. and a lot of us are really fucking stupid, as well.

Ernst took Iowa… so, will she bring an ample supply of hog fries, AKA porcine rocky mountain oysters, to Washington for her Welcome to the Swamp party?
Amazing that it cost a couple hundred million bucks to elect a Congress that is estimated will garner less than a 10% approval rating… ONLY in 21st Century America!
Almost all of these newly minted Republican Senators are going to “betray” their Tea Mob constituents when those mob members find out that they can’t repeal the ACA. And it won’t be long until the Tea Mob realizes they’ve been lied to, and used like a doormat, and yet without them the Republicans would have NO power any more.
But to get their vote they had to become the most obstructionist congress since the southern slavers ran the Senate prior to the Civil War, and to do it the had to threaten to take that health insurance away from 20 million Americans.
And many of those, especially if Medicaid was expanded, are Republican voters, and quite a few of THOSE are Tea Mobbers.
They just don’t realize yet that they have been played by the oligarch’s own Republicans like a cheap fiddle. When they do, get the popcorn out.

seems to be a national epidemic. I STILL blame FOX, Rush “The Lump” Limbaugh and Bleck (say it like a dry heave), et al.
Without two decades of hateful, divisive right wing propaganda of the worst sort in our history, Republicans wouldn’t even HAVE the Tea Mob to game. And they would have disappeared into Whig and Know-Nothing obscurity in 2009… instead, they fomented the bigoted mob into a political movement, and now they will shed them like a redheaded stepchild.

that is a bit of a stretch…
OK, that is it. THIS is where we need to go… Anonymous, Occupy and the rest, this should be our prime directive as we build our plans for 2016.

This one is a real loon.
And to think we have to listen to that weird Ernst laugh for at least 6 years. A real nut case she is.
My state is with you too (IN)
What I don’t understand is the inability of people to turn away from all of the Fox Rush crap…I never listen to any of it. I turned off all cable. Why can’t people give themselves choices?
And in terms of all the negative ads that people hate…why watch and listen? You also can tune them out, or turn it off.
Probably so. It is ironic that America wants the government to work better by all accounts but vote for the party that wants to see it crash and burn. Older folks that do this sort of thing just really do not like Obama.
Just means that we will likely see a new bench mark for unproductive and Obama may have to veto more, depending on how filibuster rules hold.
And she will become frustrated when Mitch and other republicans don’t agree with her ideas and join the Cruz camp.
So this woman that carries a puny gun to defend herself and thinks the gubberment is coming for her liberty and believes that UN Agenda 21 shit is also an active Lieutenant Colonel in the Iowa Army National Guard. Now President Obama is her Commander in Chief twice. Its early, but I am confused.
Helmet Head will provide 6 years of comedy gold filling the vacuum left behind by Bachmann and Palin.
congrats on the new gig. does this mean we will no longer see you in all those Angie’s List commercials?
In a Bachmann vs. Ernst cuckoo contest, they are both bat shit crazy. Trying to decide which one is crazier is fruitless since they are both worthy of being described as “bat shit.”
Oh, you noticed as well. Listened to her victory speech. Very creepy. But then their other Senator is creepy as well.
In her acceptance speech, she cackled her witch’s laugh, and burbled on about wearing bread bags on her shoes on a school bus.
This is one crazy hag.
