From the story

Regarding the economy, you would think that the area's struggling agriculture would be a major concern for Grassley's audiences.

"Surprisingly, that's not coming up," he said. "And, you'd expect that come up when you're losing a dollar for every bushel of corn you grow. I think it comes up through trade issues. But, people aren't saying you've got to do something to get corn back up to seven-and-a-half dollars, because they probably realize you'd be better off making five dollars for six dollars on a bushel of corn, rather than seven or eight dollars."

The senator says the recent fluctuation in commodities demonstrates the need for free trade agreements

And the comment

Tom Klemesrud · Retired Hollywood editor at Self Employed Investor

Senator Grassley, when you were down to Palm Beach, Florida weeks ago at that swank hotel at the $10,400 a plate dinner that Marco Rubio arranged for you, (in return for showing him around at the Iowa State fair yesterday), did the people in Clarinda seem concerned about why Cuban-Americans are giving you all that money?

I'll bet it has something to do with you opposing the normalization of trade with Cuba that so many Iowa farmers wants to have happen. Don't you, Senator Grassley, consider this a betrayal of the farmers' interests?

2. The voters really need to retire him next year.

I hope there's some hard, pipe hitting liberal who will run next year. Not just some sacrificial lamb. Someone who is going to go out there to kick ass and take names. We don't need Grassley Brand Horseshit anymore.
