Donald Trump to Meet With Senator Joni Ernst, a Possible Running Mate
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
Donald J. Trump said on Twitter on Monday that he would meet in New Jersey with Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, as he screens potential running mates in a series of meetings.
One person briefed on the process, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that the campaign began vetting Ms. Ernst in recent days as a possible vice-presidential pick.
Jason Miller, a senior communications adviser for Mr. Trump, declined to comment. A spokesman for Ms. Ernst could not be reached.
Ms. Ernst is a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel and a veteran of the Iraq war. Her military background could help Mr. Trump given his lack of foreign policy experience or national security experience. The fact that she is a woman could also help Mr. Trump with a group of voters with whom he currently polls poorly.
Ms. Ernst is also considered a possible keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention, which begins on July 18 in Cleveland.

PLEASE DOnald, do not be fooled by this chick like her constituents were!! She turned RINO within days of her election@!!!!! I urge CAUTION!!!!!!!!!
Who, Joni Ernst? I never even heard of her until this article. Damn, then I doubly don’t want her. I want him to pick someone who is Hispanic and female because he HAS to neutralize Hellarys only line of attack on him which is this “Trump is racist/sexist/misogynist” garbage.
I haven’t heard the slightest micropeep out of Joni Ernst since she was elected in the TP surge. I have no means of assessing her character other than what she said in her campaign commercials.
Perhaps that means she does exactly as she is told.
Strategically, she may be a decent choice as a VP with flyover country and some military appeal.
No opinion.
AS one of her former constituents, I would appreciate some context of her going RINO.
ant him to pick someone who is Hispanic and female because he HAS to neutralize Hellarys only line of attack on him which is this “Trump is racist/sexist/misogynist” garbage.
Trump can avoid most of those attacks by choosing Greg Abbott of Texas. Married to a Mexican American woman. He is handicapped and brilliant.
Further, it will do double duty by bringing in lots of Mexican American voters who can identify with his wife.
And it will be real hard to accuse Trump of disrespecting the handicapped reported.
STOP THAT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION THINKING !!! It’s what has turned the US into an Idiocracy!! Give me two alpha males as the best counter to hag hillary, any day. People need leadership that makes us feel safe, not pandered to.
I want two white guys on the ticket. Any Hispanic or woman or handicapped will only get the Palin/Judge Thomas treatment. It means NOTHING to Dems that his candidate is a minority because they don’t care about minorities. Unless they’re lib minorities.
Now that sounds perfect, I hope he does choose someone like that because you know how the media runs in this country, they will play up this bias garbage to the hilt while propping up Hillary as savior of the masses .
“maybe Susana Martinez”
She is a drunk who misuses her authority
NO! Vet these people long before you open your damn mouth.
Looks like your undecided and that’s not good.
Hold off spouting choices until you decide for sure, just who is loyal to America!
No, Trump needs to pick another hardass white guy. Stop with this affirmative action crap.
So am I.
“So am I.”
That’s why you will never be VP
She's doable.
She oughta let that hair grow out tho.
Sez you! What if I told you The Donald and I are in talks RIGHT NOW?
If she makes me a Gaw-dam Sammich, I'm on board.
We need to get away from the gimmick crap. We need one of these, and one of those, and how ‘bout a disabled one.
We need people who will fight the Clinton machine to get there...and then someone who can bend some arms once they are there.
As would I.
