Joni Ernst is fine on the issues, but she is a neophyte senator, and what Trump needs is experience and influence in Washington to reassure the undecideds who like Trump but don’t think he would be effective. So, Sessions or Gingrich.
Sessions and Gingrich will continue to be senior advisors to Trump. But Joni Ernst is a much better choice for VP.
She beat a democrat by 9 points in a blue state. I was watching some of her campaign videos and it’s easy to see why. She is good. She’ll deliver the soccer moms to Trump.
I disagree. He needs experienced people around him, but not necessarily in the VP position. What he needs most is a VP who can carry on after Trump's eight years, and that Gingrich can not do. We have to start thinking long-term, like the Dems have always done.
Yes, but she helps counter the ONLY thing that qualifies Madam Benghazi in some circles - she's a woman.
Ernst looks like Betty Crocker.
Biden was experienced, did he subsantvively help Obama? I’d say no.
I say Ernst for VEEP, Sessions for Sec. of Defense, Christie for AG, and Newt for Chief of Staff.
My own two cents on this question is that I want someone who's a FIGHTER and is going to blacken the eyes of the Democrats at every turn.
I love Newt and his experience and the fact that he's so well versed on every single issue but the fact is he hurts Trump. I don't see a Trump/Gingrich ticket winning.
I also don't see a Trump/Ernst ticket winning. Nor do I see a Trump/Christie, Trump/Sessions, Trump/Pence or about anyone else I can think of being a winning combination with Trump.
Don't get me wrong, I think Trump wins in the end, I just can't see who he wins with. There has to be a dark horse that Trump's keeping under wraps that's going to be the surprise announcement.
Personally I'd like a Trump/Thune ticket but I don't think there's an ice cube's chance in hell of that happening.
