Corker and Ernst take themselves out of the Trump VP sweepstakes

[book_worm]

Two of the top candidates under consideration to be Donald Trump's running mate said Wednesday that they have told the real estate mogul they're not interested in the job.

Just one day after appearing on the campaign trail with Donald Trump, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker withdrew his name from consideration to be the Republican's VP pick.

Shortly after news of Corker's decision broke, POLITICO reported that Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst - who met with Trump on Monday - told the presumptive GOP nominee that she's "focused on Iowa," all but taking her name out of consideration.

Sources confirmed to NBC News that Ernst does not see herself as a potential running mate on the GOP ticket and that she conveyed those wishes to Trump earlier this week.

So it took Corker one day on the stump with Trump to make him realize that signing up with this guy has disaster written all over it.

Trump, though, seems to prefer a lackey.

3. I really want newt

Their egos are yuge, they are ruthless lying psycho grifters and there is a good chance they will have swinging wife swapping parties which will only add to the campaign festivities.
