Republican Joni Ernst tells MitchMcConnell to start working with Democrats on impeachment

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) is another endangered Republican running for reelection in 2020. She joined with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) in complaining about the process of impeachment unfolding in the U.S. Senate.

In a Politico report Monday, Ernst told Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) it was time to start working with Democrats instead of against them.

I think he, at least, is hoping for a trial so he can get Trump removed. But ultimately, it's probably only for the "dream" of a Pence presidency for Romney.

... it's not like you have no other skill and really need your current job. I am sure there is a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) that could put you to work fondling and snipping pig nuts next year!
