re: #417 HappyWarrior

Seems to me that Joni Ernst may as well be another Marco Rubio. A flashy new toy for the GOP to go “See, we’re not just old white guys, we have women and Hispanics who can sound like old white guys too” and then Ernst will do something like Rubio and inevitably shatter her star with the true conservative faithful.

No, the Rubio of this cycle was Mia Love. And she didn’t even hold her office for a week before her star shattered. Ernst is the replacement for Michele “Girl With The Faraway Eyes” Bachmann.
