CRYSTAL BALL: Some takeaways from what we have so far of the #NYC primary, notes on #IASen, and a few polling observations. From me, @kkondik, and @ParakramKarnik.

centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/ar…

To be clear, the "Second Place" map isn't a "second preference" map -- we won't know that for a while, but I thought it would still be interesting to look at.

This first point is probably the most stereotypical Election Twitter acknowledgement I’ve ever put on a map.

RT for Iowa!

Did you see that debate? @joniernst was a disaster.

She has NO good answer on healthcare b/c she voted to repeal ACA & remove protections for Iowans with pre-existing conditions.

@GreenfieldIowa can beat Ernst. Help her! #IASen #DemCastIA

@Zachary_Cohen

People for the American Way is coming out with its second ad targeting Sen. Joni Ernst centered on judges. #IAsen

It urges Iowa to "vote her out" after noting President Trump's Supreme Court prospective nominee's expected role in ACA jurisprudence amid the #coronavirus pandemic.

Here's the ad, which is running on digital platforms:

.@BenJealous, the progressive group's president, tells reporters they'll soon be targeting Sens. Cory Gardner, Martha McSally, and Lindsey Graham as well.

Theresa Greenfield led Joni Ernst by 3% in Selzer's June poll.

And she leads Joni Ernst by 3% again in today's poll, 45% to 42%.

note: in 2016, Selzer was a rare pollster to capture that something was going deeply wrong for Dems in the Midwest. #IASen

desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…

Ernst has already made it explicit she is fine confirming for Trump's appointee this fall. She may be in a position to do it having already lost.

(I really wish media didn't separate the presidential/down-ballot portions of a poll. I get the need to build interest, but substantively it's helpful to have the full picture in assessing a poll.)

Joni Ernst

@joniernst

Since @GreenfieldIowa hasn't made the effort to visit 45 Iowa counties in over 15 months of campaigning, I thought I'd do a thread celebrating these amazing communities!

First up: Adams County, where I visited Fostering Hope of SW Iowa in early January. #IASen #IAPolitics

Just last week I stopped by Allamakee County to meet with the folks at WW Homestead Dairy. Great visit! @GreenfieldIowa has never been to Allamakee County after 15 months running in the race #IASen #IAPolitics

In May, I was in Appanoose County to meet with the folks at Inhance Technologies, where they do great work to improve our ag. @GreenfieldIowa has never been to Appanoose County as a candidate in this race #IASen #IAPolitics

Is this something a #BananaRepublic strong man or a #Stalinist East European dictator would have done? Sadly, #GOP is now an empty box, filled with wishes & nostrums of #SupremeLeader. No citizen input required unless you have his ear & money. #KAG2020 msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…

2) #Iowa now crushed by many farm disasters, some #Trump inflicted: #China grain embargo, #CornEthanol market cut by #Trump's #EPA, #Covid's hit on meat market, extreme drought & now #Derecho, which destroyed 40% of the crop. Where's the ag plank? NADA! #IaPolitics #IaSen #IaGov

3) Is this a job for @SenJoniErnst & @KimReynolds, both of whom will speak at @GOPconvention? Will they say the #Emperor has no clothes & NO commitment to #Iowa farmers after Inauguration? Or will they continue to sing his praises as #Trump walks over #Iowa? #IaPolitics #IaSen

If you wanna know what a campaign with no message in late July looks like (And still throwing random trash against the wall), here's how fact-checkers have debunked every line of attack against Theresa the NRSC & Ernst have put on TV since the start of the general. #IASen

Let's start with Ernst's ad trying to lie about Theresa's pledge to take #ZeroDimes in contributions from corporate PACs.

@KCRG gave the ad a “D” noting: "Greenfield has kept her promise and did not lie."

kcrg.com/2020/07/18/fac…

Next, the NRSC tried to smear Theresa's record on taxes, since Ernst is on the run for her record of devastating Iowa's farmers.

This ad easily got a "Mostly False" from Politifact. dailyiowan.com/2020/07/23/rep…

.@TeamJoni's best excuse for @SenJoniErnst's biofuels failure is her #IASen challenger wasn't calling her out... but @GreenfieldIowa's been talking about this all along.

Here she is last August slamming EPA's interference in the biofuels waiver program: greenfieldforiowa.com/2019/08/16/gre…

Here's @GreenfieldIowa calling out @SenJoniErnst for rubber-stamping the confirmation of fossil fuel lobbyist Andrew Wheeler to run the agency despite his promises to put this thumb on the scale for Big Oil over Iowa farmers #IASen greenfieldforiowa.com/2019/08/20/ern…

When Iowa farmers were struggling last year, @GreenfieldIowa was right there, holding @SenJoniErnst accountable for her votes with Mitch McConnell and against Iowa farmers and workers. #IASen greenfieldforiowa.com/2019/10/02/ern…

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.

First, there’s the Democratic primary for #IASen, where DSCC-backed Theresa Greenfield is facing Mike Franken, Eddie Mauro, and Kimberly Graham to run against GOP Sen. Joni Ernst. If no candidate gets >35% of the vote, the race goes to a party convention businessinsider.com/iowa-senate-de…

@eyokley

NEW: In her bid against @joniernst, @GreenfieldIowa is telling a compelling personal tale that doubles as a pitch, w/ notes that aim at the state's large share of Obama-Trump voters she'll likely need in order to win #IASen.

My dive into the race: morningconsult.com/2020/05/28/the…

In @MorningConsult interview, Greenfield's fiercest attack against Ernst comes on social security, replicating a tactic used by Bruce Braley in '14 with a personal touch: “I would not be here today without union benefits and Social Security.” morningconsult.com/2020/05/28/the… #IASen

Researching this over the past week, I picked up on something familiar in Greenfield's approach from Ernst's '14 campaign. A @davecatanese story at the time said that Ernst sold "biography over ideology" in her successful bid. His story: usnews.com/news/articles/… #IASen

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

Senate Republicans and @realDonaldTrump continue to attack the Affordable Care Act. Now the Trump administration is trying to strike the entire ACA down. These Republican senators (all are up for re-election) are not taking your access to health care seriously:

David Perdue (R-GA), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Cory Gardner (R-CO) have voted over and over again to risk protections for pre-existing conditions and make health care coverage more expensive. #gasen #ncsen #cosen

John Cornyn (R-TX) has voted over and over again to risk protections for pre-existing conditions and make health care coverage more expensive. And don’t forget, Cornyn was in charge of rounding up the votes to dismantle the ACA in 2017. #txsen

The fact that the Warren court, which existed for less than two decades, is the lone exception to this, speaks volumes about how reactionary & undemocratic the Supreme Court has been. With extremist Republicans about to take charge, it's poised to become outright anti-democratic
