I think Trump picks a woman. Maybe Ernst. Perhaps a woman who hasn’t been discussed yet. Two “white” guys are going to have a rough go, even with a maverick like Trump on top of it. It’s an unfortunate fact that most women wI’ll automatically choose a flawed woman over a man out of a perceived sense of duty to their gender. By selecting a female running mate, Trump takes away some of Crooked Hillary’s “historical narrative” and his female running mate will insulate him for when he really needs to take off the gloves.
I hate this kind of pandering where suddenly a ticket has to have a woman or racial minority on it. But it’s the world we live in. My feeling is that Trump will at least choose a woman on her merits and not just for her body parts.
If Trump picks a woman, it will nullify the ‘sexist’ accusations from the left. No one other than the far left would believe it.
