[ [link removed] ]Turn on images to see this cringe-worthy moment.

I'm an activist and comedy writer -- and watching this made me laugh.

But even better? This incredibly ridiculous, cringe-worthy moment may give
Democrats control of the U.S. Senate...

Yahoo News: During Iowa Senate debate, Ernst has difficulty answering a
question about soybean prices

The Independent: Republican faces awkward moment at debates

NY Times: Ernst Struggles in Iowa as Republicans Battle to Hold Senate

When insurgent Democrat Theresa Greenfield was asked the price of corn,
she got it to the penny - $3.69. When incumbent Joni Ernst was asked the
price of soy, she talked in circles and then was off by about 100% --
guessing $5.50. The answer was $10.05.

One might say, Joni Ernst doesn’t know beans about Iowa. (Eek. Sorry, was
that corny?) Greenfield is up by 4% in this red state. She’ll win if she
can get out the vote in the final days -- can you help?

[ [link removed] ]YES -- I’ll donate $3.69 to Theresa Greenfield’s campaign.

[ [link removed] ]YES -- I’ll donate $5.50, just to rub it in for Joni Ernst.

[ [link removed] ]YES -- I’ll donate $10.05 because I agree that’s the right answer.

NO -- I can’t donate, but I’ll happily share this video [ [link removed] ]on Twitter and
[ [link removed] ]on Facebook.

Your donation today can help Iowa Democrats’ grassroots...field effort.

When Ernst got elected, she played up her farm cred -- promising to make
special interests "squeal like a pig." That did not happen. Here are some
numbers Joni Ernst does know:

$978,599 - her donations from Wall Street

$353,721 - her donations from Big Insurance

$1.3 trillion -- the tax cuts she gave big corporations like Wall Street
and Big Insurance

$750 -- the amount she is fine with Donald Trump paying in taxes

[ [link removed] ]It’s time to get out the vote! Your donation today can help Iowa
Democrats’ grassroots...field effort. (Sorry again.) Donate here.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
