DAVENPORT, Iowa —Susan Dreyer, a Catholic nun, left her monastery one day this week in search of an answer to a fateful question: Is Elizabeth Warren “strong enough to kick Trump out?” (Snip) The uncertainty goes deeper than the already-vexing decision about which contender voters like more, and it is complicated not merely by this year’s crowded field. Rather, for many here who remain uncommitted, the dilemma presents a whole new calculation — a search for an elusive set of qualities seen as necessary to defeat President Trump, the most unpredictable opponent in modern history. The question is taking on

A 72 year old Catholic nun who resides in a monastery, and is mulling over which abortion supporting leftist or liberal Democrat candidate to cast her vote for, is not your average Iowa voter that’s for dang sure.

Dems are dead enders. "None of the above" will make any difference in November so vote for any smurf you chose in the primary. Or skip the primary. Dems, you have NO hope.

FTA: We in Iowa try to steer the country in the right direction. With catholic nuns voting for baby killers and a retiree whose husband served in Viet Nam voting for anti-military/ anti-veteran liberals, they don't know what is the right direction. They're lost themselves.

A Catholic nun joining ranks with fellow Catholic Nancy Pelosi supporting the killing of unborn babies! Sister Susan should also support Mayor Buttplug thus showing her support for gay marriage. Does the pope know you're a hypocrite Sister?

Why is the question---"who can beat Trump"
The question should be who would make the best President and who has the Country's best interests at heart?
I might add that Catholic Nuns do not live in Monastery's, they live in Convents.
Monastery's are for Monks.

It's difficult to understand how any Iowan thinks their farms will work better in a socialist society. They should be nervous about voting for any Democrat since if their person should become president their lives are going to get a lot worse.

#18, nuns who are members of monastic orders live in monasteries. St. Hildegard of Bingen founded a number of monasteries for nuns. The head of a monastery for nuns is called an abbess. The nuns in "The Sound of Music" lived in a monastery.
