Donald Trump to Meet With Senator Joni Ernst, a Possible Running Mate
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
Donald J. Trump said on Twitter on Monday that he would meet in New Jersey with Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, as he screens potential running mates in a series of meetings.
One person briefed on the process, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that the campaign began vetting Ms. Ernst in recent days as a possible vice-presidential pick.
Jason Miller, a senior communications adviser for Mr. Trump, declined to comment. A spokesman for Ms. Ernst could not be reached.
Ms. Ernst is a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel and a veteran of the Iraq war. Her military background could help Mr. Trump given his lack of foreign policy experience or national security experience. The fact that she is a woman could also help Mr. Trump with a group of voters with whom he currently polls poorly.
Ms. Ernst is also considered a possible keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention, which begins on July 18 in Cleveland.

It’s as if people on FR have never seen the numerous “rumor” posts on this.
I’m barely paying attention because one is just as inaccurate as the other.
I don’t know much about her but what I have read is quite impressive. She served in Kuwait and is a solid conservative. She has little political experience but then she has a lot more than Trump :-)

Duncan Hunter would be my choice as VP. And Bob Doornan as UN Ambassador.
BEAR REPEATING.
Ernst is a phony. Her loyalty lies with the Ryan-wing. POOR choice as V-Pee.
How about someone like Monica Crowley?
No!! NEWT for VP!! Jeanine would be better if he wants a woman.
Any Hispanic or woman or handicapped will only get the Palin/Judge Thomas treatment. It means NOTHING to Dems that his candidate is a minority because they don’t care about minorities. Unless they’re lib minorities.
Exactly.
Who would Trump be appeasing? The liberal media? Dems? The AA-wing of the ball-less GOPe? Let's get the BEST and MOST QUALIFIED. Principle, quickness-on-their-feet, and SIZE of their balls is what's most important, no matter which gender that person is ;-)
Btw, I've noticed you are an outspoken voice of logic, reason and courage. YOU have MY vote, MM!
I was addressing Trump, not you. Sorry
However I agree with you on his tactics. I’m beginning to wonder who is coaching him.
You have another "AYE!" here.
OR, Joanie Cunningham.
I don’t know much about her, but she received an A rating from the NRA and she believes that life begins at the moment of conception.
That’s one hell of a lot better than a couple of other names mentioned.
no
“She is a drunk who misuses her authority
So am I.”
LOL. You got my vote.
Those are great choices. Forgot all about Dornan. I would love to see positions allotted to conservatives like Dornan and West who have gotten the shaft.
Trump/Ernst— Doesn’t have a good ring to it.
.
Who could object to or resist Judge Jeanine Pirro??
She’s smart, fearless, flawless background, a staunch Conservative- and beautiful to boot!!
.
I said early on that he needed woman on the ticket against Hillary, but I had a hard time finding anyone that I like except maybe Sarah Palin and she’s pretty much damaged goods.
Comments re; Pirro for VP??
Can anybody lodge an objection- if so, WHAT?
This is a head fake. Trump ossctewing with Maggie Haberman.
Shucks, I am a drunk and I don’t misuse my authority, probably because I don’t have any.
