<< “ I do not believe Pence is a derp/child trafficking person. Trump would never, ever have picked a VP who could not honorably carry on with MAGA if need be.” >>
Certainly Trump was not looking for a derp/child predator trafficker to serve as his VICE PRESIDENT.
Holding that Trump was already in-the-know, on Every front, exactly where corruption was advancing at the time when he first announced that he was running, and believing also that he already knew what he was going to try do about it, absolutely, it is too ludicrous to even contemplate such a thing about Pence. Period.
*** Newslit:
Last night viewing the FOX screen crawler-news, it came to light in a newly released affidavit, related to divorce court proceedings, that Joni Ernst (R-IOWA) had testified to the court that she felt that she had to decline the TRUMP VP selection, in June, 2016, for the sake of her family.
She said her husband had resented all of her personal achievements, successes, etc., and that he always belittled her concerning those honors. (paraphrased)
*** There again, Trump appeared to lean favorably, first and foremost, to VP picks and other Cabinet positions, who had more an established military background. Ernst had that.***
This affidavit thing reveals more context about why Ernst felt she must decline the VP offer, or the process for the offer, to appease her hubby and to care for her family, rather than the media’s emphasis at the time about her holding some phantom revulsion toward Trump.
Didn’t want to put her family through it... don’t blame her. Not her choice alone.
Thanks for the background. I checked her on “On The Issues” (a very good resource to see what politicians have stated and how they have voted), and she seems pretty solid.
