I’d take the first part of that a bit further: I’d like to see Trump put his VP very visibly in charge of anti-corruption and “unrigging” the system. Put Guiliani in charge of the FBI (if he is up to it.) Christie as AG.
Sarah Palin probably has the energy and attitude to do the anti-corruption bit, but, I’m not so sure about the politics at this time. First, Trump has to get elected.
Cruz - well, there’s probably just too much bad blood.
Nikki Haley has the smarts, but, I’m not so sure about her Tea Party credentials, anymore.
Pence has some experience as an executive, but, is he seen as willing enough to buck the establishment?
Ernst I really don’t know enough about.
Newt is quite controversial even within conservative ranks.
But then, who? Hmmm...
“Sessions is too old. Corker is a globalist sellout. Newt has way too much baggage. Christie brings nothing to the ticket. Joni Ernst and Mike Pence are both good choices IMO.”
In mine as well. I think you’ve nailed it here.

True, but Ernst will bring out fence sitters.
Sarah Palin.
Newt is too old.

“Ernst will bring out fence sitters.”
Unquestionably, but looks like she’s taken herself out of the running.
I fear he won’t be able to actually choose a real candidate, only scrape the best off the bottom of the barrel. Not looking so hot at the moment.
