In what will indisputably go down as one of the most powerful moments of Thursday night’s Iowa senatorial debate in Sioux City, Republican Joni Ersnt answered a question about putting boots on the ground by reminding her opponent that “my boots were on that ground that is now held by ISIS.”

Joni Ernst takes none of Bruce Braley's bullying & lecturing about service & troops in Iraq. Her boots were on that ground! #IADebate #IAsen

Not only were Ms. Ernst's boots on the ground in Iraq, they also just found Bruce Braley's backside #IASEN
