Seems The Donald has created buzz just about weekly over who his Vice President pick will be heading into this month’s GOP convention in Cleveland. First it was New Jersey Governor Chris Christie; then it was former House Speaker and FOX News regular, Newt Gingrich; then it was Indiana Governor Mike Pence; and now the newest Maybe-It’ll-Be is Iowa’s junior senator, Joni Ernst, whom Mr. Trump spent part of our Independence Day chatting up. You may remember the infamous campaign ad that propelled Senator Ernst into the daily lexicon of GOP voters back in 2014:
I look forward to meeting @joniernst today in New Jersey. She has done a great job as Senator of Iowa!

Now most of you know, if you read my blogs regularly, that I’m no fan of Donald Trump. I find him utterly without principles, a man who’ll say just about anything to attract (or repel, as it were) voters, and I have about as much of an idea about what we’d be getting with a Trump presidency as I do with Taco Tuesday’s at the neighborhood TexMex food-truck. That said, I’m firmly in the Never Hillary camp and could never, ever, not with a Glock 26 aimed at my left temple, vote for her to be Commander-in-Chief. So what might a Vice President Ernst bring to a potential Trump presidency? Let’s take a quick peak at Ernst’s resume and a few of her core positions:
