Why Republicans should be worried about Iowa

Chuck Grassley has served as Iowa’s senator for a whopping seven terms, but new polling shows this tenure could be in jeopardy. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza digs into whether the Hawkeye State will actually part ways with its longstanding senator.

Do you think it’s “time for a change” in Iowa? -Chris

[krisfrederick]

He's the 87 year old poster boy for term limits...

[maryerichardson]

Grassley needs to go. He’s not a genuine elder; he’s just plain OLD! He has garnered no wisdom over his years. He just rooted his beliefs in greed & power over everyone else. Bye bye, Grassley!

[bigvaxmeanie]

we dont trust people at this age to drive a car, but we trust them with leading our country????

[angelajohnson]

So many of us want him gone. He’s been grooming his GRANDSON to take over his seat because we are so dumb and will vote for a damn name.

[gregwalker]

He'll be 89 years old in November 2022. I hope I'm not being ageist but that is frickin' old.

[PooNinja]

Iowa proving again Farmers will vote against thier own interest if given the opportunity.

[thomaskrohn]

He is a prime example of why term limits are necessary.

[BenAvodot]

The very definition for the need of term limits

[cmt]

Grassley should retire, he's too old and he's been way out of touch for awhile!

[dianaflynn]

Yep! Time for Chuck to go back to the farm. He has been in office since I was 4 years old!

[jodiezaffke]

There really needs to be a limit on how long they can hold office.

[TMB]

He's been there more than my whole life and I have voted to get rid of him for a decade then I finally moved from Iowa. He's a horrible human being.

[BillSias-opxw]

Time for patriots in Iowa to actually be patriotic and vote for Democracy, that means not for fascists of the GOP.

[fungoorstitch]

"R" is proof of guilt. This Iowan says get rid of him!

[Notfunnysam]

Grassley is a relic.
I'm scared they'll replace him with a conspiracist.

[allansheehan]

Come on people, with what the republicans have shown the American people, how can any of them feel they should be holding any office for us ? Its disgusting and I sincerely hope that the Democrats gain more seats in both the house and senate in 2022 so we can move forward with things that will benefit all of us !!

[Secretary.of.Education]

Just keep voting the same people in and expecting different results

[ryantyler]

The only conclusion I can come to for people staying in politics this long is that they must REALLY hate their families.
