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.

Ernst is detestable. A complete phony who, like Mia Love, became co-opted in her first month in D.C. And Mike Pence? Seriously? Why are they considering such losers?
Big, big, big mistake.
McCains office rally shows he knows he cant generate a crowd
John McCain has scheduled a rally Friday morning May 6 at his local Phoenix office. It will feature a quartet of disappointing freshman GOP senators Joni Ernst (IA ), David Perdue (GA), Dan Sullivan (AK), and Cory Gardner (CO). (Click on their names to see their Conservative Review scores.)
Laz beats me to it lol. I’m a drunk too but that doesn’t stop me from being conservative!
Instead of “detestable”
can you give us:
she did:
she voted:
she sponsored a bill that:
I need meat not carbs.
Egotistical TV personality.
That’s the negatives of a lot of populist candidates like Farage or Buchanan or others.
Trump at least owns property & destroyed the media & has some relevant achievements.
Do you really think Trump is being coached?
Good grief...
“What if I told you The Donald and I are in talks RIGHT NOW?”
The Donald and Lazamataz! Now THAT would be one heck of a ticket!
Of course he has his people. Good grief!
Don must be getting desperate...There’s not much to choose from...They’re all anti-American globalists...
It never stops them when a minority is a Republican. Hermain Cain, Allen West, Ben Carson, etc. See it’s always ok in Dem/Liberal eyes to smear a minority if they don’t vote Democrat.
I really would like Marsha Blackburn or Allen West
They tag every Republican as a mysogynist, look what happened to Romney when he said he had a briefcase of women.
Look at what happened to Sarah.
Abbot is a white guy with a daughter.
But he’s also squishy on immigration & not from a swing state & has proven no particular appeal to rustbelt or New England voters.
How squishy on immigration?
How squishy on immigration?
