(2,331 posts)The everything is fine attitude means that they aren't going to change and they are going to continue to target their message to a demographic that is shrinking.
The negative part is we are stuck with them governing from that position for 2 years.

He was just elected as Iowa State Auditor, a bigger deal in Iowa than in many other states. He has a very public career as a successful prosecutor behind him, but comes from a rural part of the State and knows his people backwards and forwards. Unlike Ernst, he is intelligent, honest, and sincere. He's a long shot for now, but two years is an eternity in politics. Watch out for the name Rob Sand. He may consider 2020 too early to try for national office.
Or not.........

(56,829 posts)so, he should at least be known statewide in Iowa.
On a quick lookup, I like what I see:
He was able to get into Brown from Iowa, but returned to Iowa to get his law degree on a merit scholarship. Seems like he has a great story, but I agree that it might be a bit too soon to challenge Ernst in 2 years.
