in my opinion. Getting Ernst out should be the top priority. Franken neutralizes her chief (only?) strength.

I mean if Grady can come back from Hollywood and get elected. Someone who has served their country should definitely get a pass on the carpetbagger label (far less of a carpetbagger than Hillary Clinton if you ask me).

I mean his only fault is going to Nebraska for his engineering degree when he could have gone to Iowa State. I will give him a pass on that transgression.
