How do you do that . You have a good convention with a good running mate. So based on all of that, how do you think this will unfold . I think that the Donald Trump Convention is one of the most unpredictable events and politics. There has been rumors that donald trump could speak every night i dont think that will happen. I would be surprised if donald trump donald trump looks at polls very closely. He knows where his weaknesses are, and certainly i think he has got to seriously consider taking a female on his ticket. That could help his numbers of women. As dimension, Susana Martinez is not interested. The washington poll how to pull got to improve the numbers. That is where he has got to look. Will newt gingrich, will jeff sessions, will joni ernst, will they help me in those numbers . That is why i think well see some people going up and down as toptier favorites, but he has resulted to consider a woman. He is also facing dissent among delegates, 150200 delegates may try to change the rules, a difficult task, but with that being out there, does that play into the dynamics of what trump is seeking . The also has to unite the party. Those 150200ink never trump republicans will be satisfied with anything. They are going to be satisfied only if he is not the nominee. The matter who he picks, and maybe someone it is the thatston establishment, not going to placate them. I think there will be that headlines at the Republican Convention because those people will be there, and how to the trunk people deal with them . The democrats have their own so both parties have issues. We will turn our attention to the democrats in a couple minutes. Cpac is the conservative Political Action committee, and this past march, we covered joni ernst. Heres what you had to say. What she had to say. Ladies and gentlemen, from the state of iowa, please welcome senator joanie ernst. Thank you so much. Please be seated. God bless you all. Good morning. Hows it going today . Outstanding. Good morning, everyone. My name is joanie ernst and i have the great honor of serving the people of iowa in the United States senate. Thank you. My iowans. Thank you very much. I have also had the privilege of serving all of you for the past 23 years in the Iowa Army National guard and the army reserve. [cheers and applause] thank you. Its wonderful to be with you today. Thanks to all of you who have traveled near and faur to come to this event and join us. Theres so many important speeches, panels, and discussions that will take course over the next few days. And you are an important part of that. Your voice is very important to us right now. So thank you so much for being here. I grew up on a farm in a small town in southwest iowa. And my parents instilled in my brother, my sister, and in me the importance of hard work, of service, and of sacrifice. We worked hard for what we had. And when our day was done, we helped our neighbors, those that needed an extra hand. Because thats what iowans do. And thats not unique to just iowa. Thats what americans do. We help when others call us. [applause] so Many Americans across this great nation work tirelessly day in and day out to help grow a vibrant economy so their kids and grand kids can help more opportunities. And so many courageous men and women fight to ensure the United States remains a strong and stabilizing sfors radio f around the globe. Amen. In fact, if i could just take a brief moment to ask any veterans in the room to please stand or raise your hand if you cant stand, and im going to ask everyone else to honor these veterans. [cheers and applause] god bless you, god bless you all. Unfortunately, as many of you know, our nations ability to lead is in jeopardy. I hear from folks constantly who are concerned about whats going on overseas. And rightfully so. The reality is we have significant issues right now that are not being addressed. When i listen to our allies around the world, they express their concern that america is no longer leading. The question i have heard time and time again is where is americas leadership . Where is it . They see us shrinking from our place in the world. And failing to address growing threats. They are looking for an american leader that is willing to stand up and say enough is enough. Why are they crying out for leadership . Why are we crying out for leadership . Because more and more we see threats to our homeland. Threats that have been magnified by the failure of this administration to stand tall, recognize the threats that are facing us, and to destroy isis. At the San Bernardino attack proved, this is not just some jv force in the middle east. Isis is present in all 50 states. According to the f. B. I. Think about that for a moment. In every single one of our 50 states, it is so very alarming yet i know that we can and must do better. How . Well, we must first answer that lingering question. Where is American Leadership . Weve all got to come together, rise up, and find the type of conservative leadership that will confront the very real and dangerous threat america faces in todays world. The reality is the world is in turmoil. Unfortunately, president obama does not seem to want to face that fact. Its easier to ignore the problem than to face it head on. And let me give you a quick example. Russia. Russia is taking advantage of our lack of leadership in europe and the middle east right now. Over the past 7 years, the obamaclinton Foreign Policy strategy has been to give ground to Vladmir Putin from ukraine to syria. Thats right. To retreat from making tough choices and the defense of american interests, and our national security. Even when theres a cessation of hostilities in syria, russia is allowed to continue with its bombing. How do they get away with this . No leadership. So russia continues to barrel bomb not only the innocent syrian population, but also those moderate Syrian Rebels that the United States has been backing and have been fighting against the bash shar alassad regime. In other words, the u. S. Is allowing russia to bomb the people that we have been funding and arming that are actually fighting for what we want. It doesnt make sense, folks. And we must change course. We must. There are a number of threats out there. We have terrorism in the form of isis and other radicalized groups. We have Vladmir Putin who continues to exude undue influence in syria, in iraq, and of course now throughout europe. We have north korea, an unpredictable enemy. And who knows what they are going to do next . And we have many other adversaries and challenges looking right at us in this new 21st century world. All this to say i know there is a better way forward. We need a commanderinchief who will stand up and destroy isis. We need a commanderinchief who will put america back in a position of leadership and strength. We need a commander in chief who will help our allies and protect our national security. And the great news is we have that opportunity this year in 2016. We need to make it happen. We have extraordinary republican candidates across the board who are articulating their vision to get our country growing again and to ensure america remains a strong, stabilizing force around the globe. We can not afford to have a president or those who would serve in his administration whose wayward policies in the middle east have led to the strengthening of terrorists. Isis continues to grow and expand while the president fails to put forward a comprehensive strategy to destroy them. Now is the time to stand up and make our voices heard. Each one of you, every single one of you here today has an Important Role to play. We all have this opportunity this year. I hope you will join me and ensure that we take this opportunity in 2016 to nominate a strong conservative leader who will defeat Hillary Clinton or bernie sanders. [cheers and applause] right. Right. This is our time to stand up and fight for the security of our children and our grandchildren. This is the time to stand up not only for our country but to help our allies and illustrate our nations true strength and leadership for other countries as well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. And god bless all of you and god bless these great United States of america. [cheers and applause] thank you
