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?

YES -- I’ll donate $3.69 to Theresa Greenfield’s campaign.

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

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 on Twitter and on Facebook.

Your donation today can help Iowa Democrats’ grassroots...field effort. (Sorry again.) Donate here.

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

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.
