    Maybe Iowans don't support Democratic party positions.

    Dems can hit rock bottom....and find a way to keep digging.

    You can keep Iowa. We'll take Virginia, Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin.

    You might keep Virginia with all the DC bureaucrats living there....but everywhere else will follow Iowa's lead.

    There's a lot of disinformation there, too.

    "Republicans drove turnout to unexpected levels by crafting a
    blunt-force narrative anchored in puffery and lies when it came to Trump
    and caricature when it came to Democrats."

    <cheerleading snipped>

    Just more puffery about puffery.
