BRANSTAD CONFIRMED BY IOWA LEGISLATURE

The Des Moines Register, November 5, 2005

The Iowa General Assembly has voted to confirm Terry Branstad as Grassley's replacement in the US Senate.
 
What is to say he wouldn't try to associate them with terrorism though?

Exactly. He already blamed gays, Muslims and un-Christian people for America's slump. Who is to say he can't fabricate a gay terrorist group looking to liberate its own people in order to justify a crackdown, thus winning additional votes from people who fear gay and Muslim terrorism?
 
Because the previous Senator was a Republican. I think it is convention to do that.

Didn't happen the three most recent times a Senator died in office while his state's Governor belonged to a different party (Paul Coverdell in 2000, Paul Wellstone in 2002, Frank Lautenberg in 2013)
 
Well... The US are having a bad time. Hopefully, nothing will happen to France, right? RIGHT?!
(Also, is Santorum really a bad guy OTL? I'm French so, nobody here knows him :confused:)
