Trump Tweets Fuel VP Speculation, Cites Joni Ernst, Mike Pence, Tom Cotton
CNN ^ | July 4, 2016

Posted on 07/04/2016 9:27:24 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Donald Trump announced he would meet with Sen. Joni Ernst on Monday, one of several recent names dropped on his Twitter feed that are fueling speculation over his highly-anticipated vice presidential selection. "I look forward to meeting @joniernst today in New Jersey. She has done a great job as Senator of Iowa!" Trump tweeted early Monday.

Ernst's name appeared in reports on VP shortlists over the weekend, and a senior Trump adviser confirmed to CNN that Ernst is being considered.

Trump also doled out some conspicuous praise for Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, who have also been floated as potential running mates.

Trump tweeted his approval of Cotton's performance in an interview on Meet the Press on Sunday: "Senator Tom Cotton was great on Meet the Press yesterday. Despite a totally one-sided interview by Chuck Todd, the end result was solid!" Trump wrote.

Find that person and get out of his way.

I think Trump pretty much is THAT person. He has been winning -- against all odds and against all Republican elite forces against him. I was just thinking that the one weakness he may have is with dealing with the Congress. So, someone to help with that would be nice.

No Joni Ernst! She’s not that conservative. I wish he’d search using the ACU’s website first to look for the Congresscritters who have a 100% record of voting to uphold the Constitution.

None of these is my dream candidate, but at this stage I'm just happy that Marco Rubio and John Kasich aren't on the short list.

What was Hillary doing at the time?

She didn't need to do anything. She served later by dodging sniper fire in Kosovo. < / sarcasm >

Tom Cotton is the best choice out of these three.

Why pick someone who nobody’s heard of or can bring in additional votes, what’s wrong with Manafort? What the hell is an Ernst?

Yes, that is a problem. While he has stated otherwise over recent years, beyond a pardon, I don’t think he’s done anything whatsoever to protect 2nd amendment rights. I like him but, yes, that is a disqualifying challenge.

What’s bull? That Trump is no conservative, or Christie is no moderate?

That Trump should habe a moderate for VP. This country doesn’t need future moderate presidents.

You said Christie was a moderate and in some ways I would say he definitely is.

Ah, but he’s not really a moderate. I only said he was, and I was being very, very sarcastic.

I don’t think it’s politically correct, but it’s correct politically. Every vote is gold. There is a swath of undecideds/millenials/independents that hold the anti-woman meme on Trump. A woman VEEP would corral some of those voters.
