WFB: GOP senator Ernst to take debate stage solo.
Sen. Joni Ernst’s (R., Iowa) Democratic opponent will not participate in the first Iowa Senate debate of the general election.
Democratic nominee Theresa Greenfield opted to skip Wednesday night’s debate, which will be hosted by the Spencer Daily Reporter in rural Clay County. While Greenfield claimed she was unable to attend due to her “busy schedule,” the Democrat’s campaign Facebook page lists no upcoming events. Greenfield did not respond to a request for comment on her absence.
In addition to Ernst, the debate will be attended by GOP state legislator Randy Feenstra and Democratic attorney J.D. Scholten, who are vying for the state’s Fourth Congressional District seat. Spencer Daily Reporter editor Randy Cauthron lamented Greenfield’s absence, noting that while “three out of four ain’t bad” he “would have preferred four.” more here
This is just the beginning
Bet ya Biden pulls a “Greenfield” on his debates too
Perhaps it’s democrats trying to normalize debate skipping so that when that drooling fool they nominated for president dodges Trump, it’ll seem less cowardly
Gosh Wally, just when ya thot that democratz had no shame glands…
Well Beave, that’s cuz it’s a pretty low level that normal people never reach! It’s called “Just can’t Suck enough!”
“Greenfield claimed she was unable to attend due to her “busy schedule,”
A lie. LAst time i checked organizations do not schedule debates without clearing with the parties involved. Obviously it was fine earlier but not now. What changed?
Be up front about it. Say you are worried (needlessly) about the ‘rona if you have to but don’t say your schedule is busy.
obvious dodge.
No Momma Obama, I’ll go you one further: Biden will try to send Kamala in his place to the one debate which President Trump can get Jill to agree on, and the media will call Trump a racist for not agreeing to debate her instead of Joe. The trial balloon for that strategy is being floated tonight.
Joe will claim that he won’t debate because he takes the Corona virus seriously.
Or he’ll want to do the debate remotely so he can have assistants off screen feeding him answers.
Uh oh, Theresa Greenfield is showing she’s at least smart enough to follow old advice – It’s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and prove it.
