Very smart. I’ve known the governor since 1983.

When I was in Junior High School, there was this unwritten “code” that “You can’t be her friend and my friend at the same time”.
It’s juvenile, stupid, and narcissistic.
It is time to put away childish things, China.

The uncanny intelligence in yet another important pick.
Trump is not a billionaire nor internationally successful businessman for nothing.
This is the latest (and maybe greatest) example to date.
Thanks to all those who prayed for this miracle.

That is awesome 2DV.
I unfortunately don't know much about him.
How do you think he will deal with China?

He’s the longest-serving state governor in the history of the United States. How will he deal with China? However President Trump tells him to.

Being U.S. ambassador to China is better than being Governor of Iowa???

14 years as Iowa governor. Needed a new gig. Good pick.

Good choice - he can pour some oil on the waters as he helps Trump renegotiate the trade deals to something more equitable. If they think he will stop Trump’s agenda, they are sorely mistaken.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang called Branstad an "old friend" of China But the media wanted us to believe Trump started WW3 with CHina

So does the Lt. Governor assume the role when it’s vacated or is there going to be a special election - or both? Anyone know? Kim Reynolds is the Lt. Governor and is also GOP.
