If these appeals to racism hit a mark in Iowa, I guess we’ll know something about our state that we will wish was otherwise.

Why would our Gov. approve of ads reinforcing negative stereotypes about people of color, and flatly lying about her opponent)? I think she is auditioning for higher office.

It may be a trope ("I'm not racist, look at my Black friend!") that won't fool anyone--but it provides lots of 'cover' for people not wanting to believe our Gov. is comfortable promoting racist ads (and unethicall for its lies) . Gov."s campaign played its next move in the chess match of campaigns bringing in a black Cong candidate. What should the response of the Demo party be? Perhaps this candidate from Texas denies Biden is President? Perhaps this candidate is a QANON? Perhaps this candidate thinks there are good people among the Proud Boys at Charlottesville? He should be pressed to answer.

The ad or Reynolds campaigning with a Black Republican won't fool anyone committed to voting for Deidre but they will both be quite effective with all too many Iowans, so I have to disagree.
