I think it is good news that Joni Ernst won the Republican nomination--as it is a guarantee that the Democratic candidate will win the the general election. Iowans strongly support swimmable and fishable lakes and rivers while Joni wants to abolish the EPA (perhaps it's due to her childhood as daughter of a hog farmer--the EPA probably made him quit dumping hog waste directly into a local stream and made him spend money on processes to prevent this).
