Sen. Breadbags McCutyernutzoff out as Trumpsterfire's VP pick

Sen. Breadbags McCutyernutzoff won't be Trump's VP pick;

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst has essentially bowed out of the running to be the running mate for Donald Trump.

Her office confirmed to KCRG-TV9 that Ernst told the presumptive Republican nominee she wants to focus on her role representing Iowa in the U.S. Senate.

“I made that very clear to him that I’m focused on Iowa. I feel that I have a lot more to do in the United States Senate. And Iowa is where my heart is,” Ernst told Politico. “I’m just getting started here. I have a great partner with Chuck Grassley, we’ve been able to accomplish a lot. And I think that President Trump will need some great assistance in the United States Senate and I can provide that.”

Ernst is in her first term representing Iowa but was widely rumored to be a finalist to run as Vice President alongside Trump. Ernst met with Trump during the July 4th weekend in New York City and expressed support for Trump in his bid against Democrat Hillary Clinton, which she reiterated to Politico.

This may just be posturing so a dramatic announement can be made that she is giving up the job she loves because her country needs her.
I don't trust any of these assholes.

She has a political future that she would be throwing away by going on a ticket with a racist loser.
Why would she do that when she can let her star rise in the Senate? I think there will be a ticket one day with her name on it, just not this year.
