I voted for Newt, some of the names on the list are also losers.
Newt died when he resigned from Congress. Somebody just forgot to flush.
Joni Ernst picked Rubio to vote for, so one assumes she is for open borders, amnesty and no wall.
Then if memory serves when Rubio dropped out she went to Cruz.
Cruz was also for a lot more H1b visas, and for path to citizenship for illegals.
I gave Ernst money, and that was because she was a Tea Party person. Not true, she is establishment.
Newt is leading? Was Pelosi too busy to be considered?
Ernst, Branstad urge party unify behind Trump

May 22nd, 2016 by Ric Hanson
The Iowa G-O-P held its state convention Saturday, with key Republican office-holders signalling the party’s continuing shift toward its presumptive presidential nominee. Senator Joni Ernst did not say Donald Trump’s name, but she addressed the “Never Trump” movement and told the crowd the country needs a Republican in the White House.
Ernst said “I have heard a number of folks say: ‘I will not support this candidate.’ ‘I will not support that candidate.’ ‘Never this person.’ ‘Never that person. But I tell you what, folks. We’ve got to come together, because you know what my motto is going to be this year? Never Hillary! Never!”

I am pleased and relieved that so far, Sarah Palin is not on this list. She can be of help within the Trump Administration, should it happen. I would be fine with Newt. It’s going to take someone who is not fully dem or republican in the classic sense of the term. Not even most voters are that cut and dried linear in their beliefs anymore. You could say Newt is a ‘Cafeteria Capitalist’. It’s going to take someone with a warriors heart and a lawyer’s mind.
only one choice in that list is even remotely satisfactory
I say we re-roll and get a new list
Newt has way too much baggage. He would be a bad choice.
Joni is a rino, she is a rookie, and they want her one heartbeat from the Presidency.
Also, Trump needs an experienced person in the ways of getting stuff done inside Washington Federal government, in congress.
Joni was in the service not in government. If he wanted a woman why not Blackburn who is an expert in congress.
Gingrich is head and shoulders capable of helping Trump like Cheney helped Bush.
An ex wife the press said was dead? Had Cancer when she never did, according to Newt’s daughter?
Newt in comparison to the Clintons is a saint.
Not too much baggage, Lots of folks get divorced.
How many times are we going to see this damn ‘Drudge Poll’ story posted today? Doesn’t anyone use the search function anymore?
I think Sessions agreed to it many months ago when he endorsed Trump. Trump goes with loyalty above all else and Jeff goes back with Trump over 10 years.
Where is the none of the above ? I
The FIRST issue isn’t WHO but WHAT.
WHAT is the single most important criteria for Trump’s VP? Someone who can take over the Presidency in eight years to continue the job of reinstating political freedom and the Constitution as the Rule of law in America.
Trump’s VP must be a person who in eights years, is ready, willing, and able to lead the effort to dismantle the unconstitutional 80% of the $4 trillion central government, leaving it the size of about $800 billion. Get rid of most of the unconstitutional cabinet bureaucracies. Nuke the utterly unconstitutional Administrative State from which all these unilateral, tyrannical, unconstitutional, and obnoxious executive laws (”regulations”) come from. Send hundreds of thousands of government workers, bureaucratic heads, and officials home packing. Sad day for them, but a great day for America and our Free Constitutional Republic.
Otherwise, this “Trump Movement” will be merely a speed bump on the Road to Serfdom as Hayek put it and as the Regan Revolution turned out to be because of the short-sighted choice of Bush as VP. Trump CANNOT make the same mistake.
WHO it is should be IMO, consistent with the anti-establishment push of this movement. Trump should pick an “unknown” - a talented, wise, and wealthy non-politician who loves America, probably a good businessman, who has a fire in his belly to do away with political correctness and tyranny and to put the central government into its constitutional cage. He’ll have eight years to figure out what he needs to know about the job. Also, a wealthy person, like Washington, Reagan, and Trump, would be less tempted to cash in on political expediency because he is already wealthy.
I don't personally like Newt but he has experience and knows the ropes. And he is a very effective speaker.
I like Sen. Session the best, but there was one report of him indicating he wasn't interested in VP slot.
Newt seems to be the 2d choice of most whose candidates did not make the cut. Joni is too new/inexperienced. Trump needs someone that exudes beltway experience. Newt does that yet he himself has always been outside the Bush-Romney-McCain-McConnell establishment.
miliary = military
I want a shocking pick like Rand Paul.
Gingrich is old and can help in other positions.
Sessions - I heard could become leader of the Senate if McConnell gets pushed out.
Yep, me too looking for that option. I suspect, like everything from Trump, it will be a surprise.
