I have one reason I'd like to see Ernst be Trump's VP pick

[rurallib]

So she can be part of the worst defeat ever.
Then maybe she'll quit like Sarah Palin.

1. Was thinking the same thing

Maybe that will lead to her Senate career being cut short. I can't stand that this is supposed to be a "purple state," yet our governor, both Senators and 3 out of 4 Representatives are all Republican.

4. unfortunately if Ernst were to quit our super teabag governor for life, Terry Branstad

would get to appoint her replacement. And yes compared to some of the crazies in this state, Ernst is somewhat sane (ever hear of Bob Vander Plaats?)

5. Hopefully at least her association with Trump could lead to her not being reelected in 2020

Better than her having a Harkin or Grassley-like tenure.

2. Running with Trump would put a stink on her that would never wash off.

except in iowa.

3. Of course she'd make Iowans look like a bunch of backwoods hicks who

A) Only have intimate relations with immediate family members and/or farm animals.
B) Don't know rabbit turds from rice krispies.

6. My one concern is that it would make her more popular in the GOP.

It would likely be temporary. She'd probably burn out like Palin did.

7. Yes, it would destroy her career.

She would own every fascist statement he makes.

But I can't imagine the Koch Bros allowing her to do it though.

8. Agreed - her owners don't like Donnie-do

Plus I think Chuck and Dave have bigger plans for her
