Ernst on Clinton: 'It's not enough to be a woman'

Ernst has opened her mouth once again.

Ernst, the Iowa Republican whose "Roast and Ride" event drew 2016 GOP presidential contenders to the state over the weekend, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" that "it's not enough to be a woman" in reference to Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner.

"You have to care about women's issues," Ernst said. "And women's issues here in Iowa are that we have a strong economy; we have jobs that our sons and daughters can go off to someday; we have a great educational system. And women want strong national defense. We want to know that our families are going to be safe."




Where the fuck do these Republicans find these people?

My wanting to move to Minnesota meter is pegging again.

She may have thought she was listening to the GOP platform and it was the DNC.

Military jobs that is. To go off to. Somewhere there is some oil to defend.

What you find under wet rocks is a much higher order of life than a Republican politician.

She looks like a genius compared to Sarah Palin which is probably why they'd go with her.

Ernst is so out of touch with women's issues it is pathetic.

No I don't think you made that up. I think Sen Breadbags McCutyernutzoff said that, just she didn't say that out loud.
