You cannot make this stuff up.

The Polk County Democrats are claiming that the Republican Party is in “disarray” despite the fact that Republicans just won an Iowa House seat that had been controlled by Democrats for the last 46 years. That’s longer than I’ve been alive.

Republican Jon Dunwell didn’t just sneak past Democrat Steve Mullan either, he clobbered him. Dunwell won by 930 votes. He carried 60 percent of the vote.

The Polk County Democrats, unable to point to legislative wins in Ankeny or Jasper County — the last two special elections — are attempting to create some sort of rift within the GOP when it comes to the Third Congressional District.

The Polk County Democrats are calling it “the snub heard round the world.”

The snub?

State Sen. Zach Nunn not speaking at the Trump rally in Des Moines two Saturdays ago. Nunn, the Polk County Democrats say, is a darling of the GOP establishment. But one of his opponents, Nicole Hasso, was endorsed by Sen. Ted Cruz. Another opponent, Gary Leffler, is a big Trump supporter and the Polk County Dems say it would be a tremendous show of disrespect for Trump to turn his back on his “biggest fan.”

The primary will be competitive due to the fact Congresswoman Cindy Axne has become even more vulnerable than she already was due to her anti-Christian bigotry.

But without any sort of positive momentum, the Polk County Democrats are hoping to create some sort of image that the Republicans are in disarray.

This is NOT the Babylon Bee folks. They’re actually this far down on the “crap, what do we do now that we have nothing to offer” list.

Snub heard round the world?

How about a 20-point loss in a district Democrats had controlled for 46 years.

That’s a snub heard round Jasper County and the rest of Iowa. And it was delivered by Iowa voters.
