Senator @joniernst has:
-never parted ways with Leader McConnell on any significant vote or issue
-never held the Trump administration accountable for anything
-either remained silent about abuses of power by POTUS or echoed White House talking points to downplay them #IASen
Since joining Senate GOP leadership team shortly after 2018 election, bleedingheartland.com/2018/11/14/gra…
@joniernst has appeared on tv more frequently to promote talking points from Mitch McConnell or the White House.
Literally echoing what other people told her to say on a regular basis.
Despite posturing as a committed advocate for US military aid to Ukraine, bleedingheartland.com/2019/09/20/jon…
Senator @joniernst was a reliable voice for whatever message Trump wanted out there during the impeachment saga. #IASen bleedingheartland.com/2020/01/26/jon…
.@joniernst helped ensure Senate didn't hear from witnesses like Bolton who could have testified to Trump's abuse of foreign policy to promote personal political interests. #IASen bleedingheartland.com/2020/01/16/jon…
And didn't examine documents withheld from Congress bleedingheartland.com/2020/01/22/ern…
When acquitting Trump, @joniernst didn't even mildly criticize conduct toward Ukraine. Instead, we heard, "foreign affairs is an art, not a science," and Congress shouldn't try "to insert a formula into every presidential interaction with a foreign leader" bleedingheartland.com/2020/02/06/wha…

I deleted my previous tweet because a friend explained to me that those worksheets were done correctly, even though they look like rounding errors. Under this I'm going to post photos from the official booklet explaining the caucus math. #iacaucus
The issue in these precincts relates to extra delegates. If you have allocated delegates (rounding up) and the precinct still has one or more extra delegates to assign, you go to the candidate with the next largest fraction--even if that fraction is less than 0.5. #iacaucus
Video explaining why the rounding was done correctly, even though it looks like an error. Thanks to precinct chair @TanyaKeith and her husband @dougjotzke: #iacaucus

Biggest cheer during @iowademocrats chair @troymprice's opening remarks came after he predicted #Iowa Ds will "send @joniernst into an early retirement." #IASen #HallofFame
Sen @CoryBooker is 1st candidate to speak at #HallofFame event. (19 candidates will each have 5 minutes)
"We are being tested. This is a moral moment in America, and we must meet this test. I'm running for president because we can't take 4 more years of Donald Trump." #iacaucus
But @CoryBooker isn't just running to beat Donald Trump. That's the floor, not the ceiling. We can't just run on what we are against. Democrats need to tell people what we are for. "Every American needs health care, and make no mistake, abortion is health care." #iacaucus
