I want a Trump II, not a woman to meet some PC status.
White man, successful, determined to carry on the Trump legacy.
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
I think it would be a smart choice.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Sessions pls
sounds good...
Sessions, Newt, or some other bad ass, no female, please God!!
Either way, he gets to form a relationship with an up and coming Senator and gives the dishonest media something to speculate about.
60% conservative review voting record. Not good.
Who’s even heard from Ernst since her attention grabbing campaign commercials? Who knows where she stands on the major issues of immigration and trade?
Identity politics getting mixed into this decision, I’m afraid.
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst also did not sign the brief supporting the 26 states that sued Barack Obama over his unconstitutional executive amnesty. Brook Hougesen, a spokeswoman for Ernst, said:
“Senator Ernst is watching this case closely. She opposes President Obama’s executive amnesty, and believes we must continue working to put an end to his overreach.”
Ernst becomes more of a RINO with each passing day and it’s apparent that she’s already learned the Washington art of giving meaningless platitudes. Whatever happened to the women who ran that political ad that implied she was going to go to Washington to castrate business-as-usual as she would castrate the pigs on her farm?
The line on Joni is that she came in as a conservative and has turned into a rino with only 60% ratings on several places that rate conservatives.
Put Mccain endorser Ernst on the ticket in July so McCain can win his August Primary in Arizona?
Love Joni. But a first term senator? no.
i hate pandering to the PC/SJW crowd, but she seems to be a legit candidate for VP even if she wasn’t a chick (sidebar - although, if Biden can be VP and Obama can be POTUS, pretty much anyone is a legit candidate at this point i supposed).
she does tick a couple of useful boxes though.
military vet [x]
XX chromosomes [x]
pro-life [x]
of course, with the ruthless and fictional attacks on Palin’s character in 2008 and the almost complete absence of the GOPe coming to her defense, i wonder why anyone at this point would put themselves through that.
iowa is a light blue state so this might be just the ticket that trump needs...
I like her! Good fit for Trump. A women veteran that has a penchant for getting under the Dem’s skin. What’s not to like?
She’s quite a reasonable choice.
Trump will not be President without a solid majority of white women. A CREDIBLE woman on the ticket will help.
In a close election, Florida, Colorado and Nevada are GONE because of their demographics — Hispanics in all three states, Jews and African Americans in Florida, yuppies in Colorado. Trump has to SWEEP Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia to win. Your statewide Republican choices from those states are limited — Branstad (over 70), Synder (unpopular), Kasich (Trump no like), Portman (RINO, up for re-election), Toomey (up for re-election) ... and Ernst.
Didn’t she head to DC and flip to Rino?
Sen Joni Ernst R IA. Only thing she has going for her is she is a Female Veteran. Not enough time in and the comments are not worth reading, only this one is the part that really sticks OUT ‘voting with the McConnell establishment every stinking’ time.’
“Joni Ernst ran a great campaign and conservatives were thrilled when she won. She was going to make the establishment squeal, remember? Then she went to Washington and fell silent, voting with the McConnell establishment every stinking’ time.”
Time to start digging on her credentials. Iowa votes sound off.
