Knowing DT's massive issues with females, I was convinced back in 2016 he would at least consider at female VP, to boost his credibility with women. Jan Brewer and Mary Fallin were openly discussed as potentials but both I feel brought little to Trump aside from being female, on most issues they agreed with Trump. How would reaching towards moderate Republicans by appointing Shelley moore capito to the no.2 slot have worked? Kelly Ayotte was in a tough re-election that year but could she also have been his no.2? Thoughts?
Ernst was also on Trump's list for a while.
Haley and Martinez both made clear early on that they wouldn't do it.
