‘I haven’t seen the policy behind the candidate that I’d like to see’

HALPERIN: “Senator, who do you plan to caucus for?”

ALPERIN: “Do you already know who you are going to caucus for?”

HALPERIN: “Which of Donald Trump’s policy proposals do you find interesting?”
ERNST: “Well, that’s a good question because I haven’t seen policy behind the candidate that I would like to see. You know, he has tax proposal out there, he had — but things that are important to Iowans, they want to know about economy, they want to know about national security. I want to know more about national security and I haven’t heard specifics here.”
