Harkin Still Packs A Punch

Tom Harkin speaks at the Iowa Farmer’s Union last weekend:

“My friends, I am not overstating it to say we are at our most perilous time in saving our constitution, in saving American democracy, in securing for future generations the blessings of liberty and opportunity and personal freedoms since the adoption of the Constitution in 1788.” Sen. Tom Harkin

Former Iowa Senator Tom Harkin can still fire up the people. And he does it with the truth (20 minutes)

I want to thank Suzan Erem and her great substack Postcards from the Heartland for Harkin’s quotes:

“Lincoln with malice towards none, with charity towards all. Trump with malice towards my opponents…and with charity towards none.”

 

“Trump and his team of dedicated modern-day Nazis and fascists are transforming America from a caring, inclusive, diverse, and respected nation, moving America, from yes, even Ronald Reagan’s shining city on a hill, moving us to a mean, loathsome bully on the top of the heap.”

 

 Here is the question – Iowa has four Democratic candidates to fill this seat next November. Can one of them – Wahls, Turek, Sage or Henry – fill the seat the way Tom Harkin did? I believe any one of them can, but any Republican will only be a Trump stooge.
