http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ernst-not-trump-vp?utm_content=bufferc2edb&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=bufferSen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) is effectively taking herself out of the running to be Donald Trump's running mate Wednesday, saying she wants to focus on her work in the Senate, according to Politico.
Ernst made headlines last week when it was rumored she was being vetted for Trump's VP pick after he had met with her and praised her on Twitter. But, Ernst told Politico that she is not interested in the gig.

As I've said, it's not as ridiculous as it sounds. Although it would be ridiculous in and of itself.
