Donald Trump on Monday spent part of his July 4th with Sen. Joni Ernst -- fueling speculation that the Iowa freshman senator could be on the short list of his vice presidential picks.

Ernst told Fox News they had a "good conversation," adding, "I will continue to share my insights with Donald about the need to strengthen our economy, keep our nation safe, and ensure America is always a strong, stabilizing force around the globe."

Earlier, Trump tweeted, "I look forward to meeting (Ernst) today in New Jersey. She has done a great job as Senator of Iowa!"

I want a Trump II, not a woman to meet some PC status.

White man, successful, determined to carry on the Trump legacy.

Then you will lose the election.

But, by golly, you didn’t move one millimeter from your principals! That’s what counts! /s

Sounds like Donald J. Trump, Jr. to me! ;-) Then we could have eight years of Eric Trump, followed by eight years of Ivanka Trump. Or it could be in any other order. ;-)

Do your homework

"Ernst has proposed eliminating the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Education, and the Environmental Protection Agency as a means of cutting federal spending. She has advocated eliminating the Department of Education "not just because it would save taxpayer dollars, but because I do believe our children are better educated when it's coming from the state."

Ernst has expressed her support for allowing law-abiding citizens to "freely carry" weapons but abide by rules against carrying in public buildings like schools. In February 2013, Ernst co-sponsored a resolution addressing "the Iowa General Assembly's refusal to recognize or support any statutes, presidential directives, or other regulations and proclamations which conflict with the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and which are expressly preempted by the rulings of the United States Supreme Court”. She has also received an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association for her support of gun-rights issues."

"Ernst served as a lieutenant colonel in the logistics branch, commanding the 185th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion at Camp Dodge, the largest battalion in the Iowa Army National Guard. Upon her retirement from the military in 2015, Ernst had served 23 years between the Army Reserve and the Army National Guard. She spent 14 months in Kuwait in 2003–04 as a company commander during the Iraq War."

Other than being a woman, Ernst has little to offer. Maybe she could be a good mentee for Trump, maybe not

I’m looking for Trump to find someone who understands and can carry out his plan. To me, right now, mike pence seems like the best pick

Joni has been outspoken against Hillary forever. She will fight everything we all hold to be true. We mention her name daily around the dinner table. I can’t wait for her unleash her knowledge and experience on ways to win in November . She will hit the ground running because she has been in the fight from the get go.

First of all, Donald J. Trump is not going to be listening to some balding eagle, but even balding eagles are entitled to express their opinions without personal attacks.

Second, it doesn’t matter one little bit who is Donald Trump’s VP for winning the election. He can do that all by himself. What he needs is someone who can help him demolish the federal government by getting the necessary laws repealed and replaced with Constitutional ones. He needs someone who he knows won’t stab him in the back, and with whom he know he can work with from day -90.

If he succeeds during the first four years, then the next four are a given. If the country really wants to continue on the Trump train, then we have three adult children who have proven records of accomplishment.

John Quincy Adams was not that bad of a President, and we shouldn’t let the disaster of the Bushes spoil us on a good dynasty. ;-)

Ernst is too green, and from what I’ve read, she’s been a disappointment.

I like Mike Pence as well.
