Her Democratic Party opponent will bring that up as BLOOD MONEY.

Ernst has to answer for that.

Not from pigs, but actual human blood. And in addition to being a reliable NRA tool, Ernst has done Trump's bidding every step of the way, taking a rigidly far-right stance while representing a swing state that is having serious second thoughts about him (and Steve King for that matter) these days. Indeed, she must be reverted back to the hog farm. Come 2021 perhaps King could use the work as well!

While John Deere currently projects a profit of around $3.2 billion and an increase in equipment sales of around 4% this year, that is down from its earlier projection of $3.2 billion and 5%. The picture gets even bleaker if the view is narrowed to include farm equipment sales only (excluding heavy equipment sales for the construction industry): ag equipment sales are down 6% over last year, and profits have dropped 24%.

They may not like Ernst, but they will always vote for the person with an R beside their name. Might be holding their noses as they do it, but do it they will.

Hope I'm wrong.

Hopefully more events like this will eat away at her popularity.

Sorry, I couldn't resist the "bread bags" reference.
