What do you think? Personally I wish he could get someone who is black or Hispanic and female ( maybe Susana Martinez??), because the media, Hillary and her zombies are going to shriek non-stop all the way to the election with this Trump is "racist/sexist/misogynist" crap, and if he had a black or Hispanic female running mate, it would pretty much neutralize that only line of attack by the Clinton criminal cabal. There are a LOT of stupid people out there who live on every word the media tells them, and I think those racist/sexist/misogynist tags could hurt Trump a lot.

PLEASE DOnald, do not be fooled by this chick like her constituents were!! She turned RINO within days of her election@!!!!! I urge CAUTION!!!!!!!!!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

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.

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.

Lots of grand talk and conservative promises from Joni Ernst. But it too her no time at all to prove she was shallow while earning a 'D' score from Conservative Review.

[Donglalinger]

“maybe Susana Martinez”
She is a drunk who misuses her authority

[TribalPrincess2U]

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!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

No, Trump needs to pick another hardass white guy. Stop with this affirmative action crap.

[Lazamataz]

She's doable.

She oughta let that hair grow out tho.

[Sacajaweau]

Don't think that's what he's looking for in a VP.

And we don't want to take any Senator out of play. We need the Senate, too.

[Snowybear]

Tons of Facebook spam posts whenever someone is vetted.

A couple of other articles from the recent past if anyone is interested in reading the comments.

Trump Tweets Fuel VP Speculation, Cites Joni Ernst, Mike Pence, Tom Cotton

Ernst on Trump's VP list, sources say ^

[af_vet_1981]

What do you think?

I think it is a good idea that he meet with her. She won Iowa by 8+ points statewide in 2014. Trump is behind nationally by about 5 points. I think she, barring any surprises, helps the ticket with those voters not inclined, at this time, to vote for Trump. He needs to find the extra voters, and it could mean Iowa goes GOP this year. The primaries are over.

How does “military experience” qualify her as someone qualified in “foreign policy experience?”

[Cobra64]

There are a lot of stupid people who think Trump should violate his ethics by picking a minority for PC reasons.

Trump has said repeatedly that he hires based on experience, skill, and ability, not race or gender.

[plain talk]

I don’t know much about her but what I have read is quite impressive. She served in Kuwait and is a solid conservative. She has little political experience but then she has a lot more than Trump :-)

[I cannot think of a name]

I don’t know much about her, but she received an A rating from the NRA and she believes that life begins at the moment of conception.

That’s one hell of a lot better than a couple of other names mentioned.

[novemberslady]

no

Trump/Ernst— Doesn’t have a good ring to it.

[Rockitz]

I said early on that he needed woman on the ticket against Hillary, but I had a hard time finding anyone that I like except maybe Sarah Palin and she’s pretty much damaged goods.

[jmaroneps37]

This is a head fake. Trump ossctewing with Maggie Haberman.
