Thanks for the ping, fellow Palinista ;-)

I’ve also contemplated Sarah as Trump’s running mate, but I’m on the fence as to whether she’d be an asset or a liability.

She’s lost a good deal of her former cache’ over the last four years, and I don’t know that she can ever get it back. Had she run for and won a Senate seat four years ago, she’d have much more relevancy and bargaining power now. As it is, I’m not so sure her ‘stock value’ is high enough among rank and file Republican voters.

Never mind the swing voters who might be too turned off by her to vote for a Trump/Palin ticket.

For myself, I’d be thrilled with that combo, but I’m not exactly a representative of the broad voting public.

You seem obsessed with bubbles...are you one of Cruz’s “foam” boys? Maybe you just like blowing bubbles?

“Sarah quit her position as governor, for no good reason.”

Unbelievable that a single Freeper is still spouting that left wing LIE, when the TRUTH of what caused Sarah to resign as Governor, has been posted thousands of times on this website.

“Isn’t it the party that has to be on the ballet, not the candidate?”

Where in the Constitution does it even mention political parties? See Article II, Section I, Clause V, for the exact eligibility requirements for being elected as president.

See anything about parties there? Nope.

I could go for that, or Sec. of Interior. She has definitely earned herself a cabinet position...if she accepts that is.

I’m waiting for the frivolous suits to start against Trump as freeloaders and black ops people try to take him down by bankruptcy. Prayers offer up for Mr. Trump against the slings and arrows of the enemy.

Of course they are. They all are. And a word is a word. I have nothing at all against Sarah. I happen to think she was so maligned that a lot of potential crossover votes would be lost is she was on the ticket.

People still believe a lot of the garbage said about her. And now a lot on the right don’t like her because she is supporting Trump.

Unfortunately I agree. I would love to see a Trump/Palin Administration but there is now way that duo would get elected in a general. Nearly every woman in America hates Sarah Palin with a passion. I mean literally hates her. I've learned never to bring up Sarah Palin in the company of women because so many of them get utterly hysterical with rage.

As a man, I can't understand why. But I think it's the jealousy factor. Sarah is over 50 years old and she looks fantastic and very feminine. Normally when women get over 50, they cut their hair short and stop wearing dresses and skirts. They do not like older women like Sarah Palin showing them up. That's just my theory anyhow.

You know that is not true.

You’ve just outed yourself as a troll.

Agree with having Sarah in either position.

He'd be better picking a favored conservative Governor.

I'd love to see Greg Abbott.

GOD no! Cannot stand listening to a word she utters, especially with the stupid, un-human pauses blips and blaps. Woman is smart but needs a speech pathologist or surgery.

Rightly or wrongly, Sarah Palin was damaged beyond electability in 2008. I’d vote for Trump/Palin, many on FR would, but the country at large would not. I hate that this is true, but it is.

I'll go after ANYBODY on FR that trash-talks Palin, but the Media DeathStar, while it was unable to destroy her, has made her BEYOND radioactive politically at a national level.

She can still influence state & local elections, which is why I said the Media DeathStar was unable to destroy her. Eff those treasonous effing effers.

“The best duo would have been Trump and Cruz.”

And just whose fault is it that that has no chance of happening? Answer” Lyin’ Ted’s big mouth. I’d consider not supporting Trump if he picked Lyin’ Ted as a running mate.

It’s a shame that Palin went for the windbag.

Yeah.

Why DID she endorse Ted Cruz for the Senate, anyway?
