Iowans say, ‘Bye-bye, Braley; hello, Ernst’

Bruce Braley ran his senatorial campaign like a Halloween contest to see who could be the scariest. He almost plagiarized the plot in the children's book 'Chicken Little.” Just like Henny Penny running around yelling 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling,” Braley's ads conveyed the admonition 'Beware of Joni Ernst, beware of Joni Ernst.” Very few of his hundreds of ads were a positive endorsement of himself. If he were to reveal his true vision of his roll as a Senator he would continue to champion an expansive federal government.

Braley's close alliance with Obama's extreme left wing policies certainly wasn't worth bragging about.

His unwavering support of Obamacare, coupled with his insulting remark of an Iowa farmer's competence, and his sickening persistent bedevilment of Joni Ernst convinced the majority of Iowans to say goodbye Braley and hello to Ernst.
