‘Our democracy is run by two private clubs’: can a pro-hunting Democrat lead a blue wave in Iowa?

As Trump’s approval ratings dip and gas prices rise, Democrats see an opening with Rob Sand

 

 

Rob Sand, the best-known Democrat in Iowa, appears on podcasts to discuss his love of hunting, begins rallies by having the audience sing America the Beautiful and has a tendency to criticize the country’s two-party political system.

 

OP: The article is kind of a tease, "hunting" appears in the title, and once in the text, nowhere else does it say "gun" or "firearm",  The UK press forgets history and that hunting has nothing to does with freedom.

I agree. I am 2 states away, so I do not have much interest in that race. Some hunters and other shooters are against allowing private citizens to carry a firearm for personal protection. 

There is that photo of that famous pro-2A president shooting a shotgun.

I live in Illinois right across the river from Iowa. My Wife (now deceased) and all my in laws and their families as well as my Girl and her family live in Iowa. All of my banned "Big Boy Toyz" are stored in Iowa while we wait for PICA to be overturned. I have lived, worked, and played in Iowa for decades and I can tell you, the MSM has no clue what the people in Iowa want or need. Blue wave in Iowa? I'd be very surprised to see that but I know an awful lot of life long Republicans who farm who are pretty upset with life in Iowa at this time.

 I wonder why Mr. Sand does not consider a third party run as I know that many Iowan's are sick of the 2 party system. I am Iowa bound as soon as I can get my house in order and ready to sell but I won't be there in time to affect the coming midterms. I certainly will not vote Democrat (ever) but would entertain a 3rd party candidate shake the 2 party system out.
