Trump: Palin wants me to run While catching up over pizza slices in Times Square, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin advised billionaire Donald Trump to get back in the presidential races, according to the Celebrity Apprentice host. During a Wednesday Fox and Friends interview, Trump told host Gretchen Carlson that he and Palin discussed a myriad of topics. Did she try to encourage you to get back in the race because you were, in fact, a couple weeks ago saying you were sticking with Celebrity Apprentice, instead? asked Carlson. Well, shed love me to get back, Trump responded. You know, I had great poll numbers. But when host Steve Doocy inquired about Trump and Palin teaming up in some fashion, the real estate powerhouse said this particular subject was not brought up. We really did not [talk about that]. We talked about lots of things. We did not talk about that, Trump said. Several weeks ago, Trump announced that he would not seek 2012 presidency but instead stick with his show. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election, Trump said in a statement last month. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.

Trump’s just being practical.
Sure, he’s made donations to Democrat politicos in NYC, Chicago, and elsewhere. When you’re developing huge real-estate projects in those cities its good business practice to grease a few palms amongst the powers-that-be.
That’s the way the game is played.
This pic is on my Facebook as my dream team!
And that would make him much more 'establishment' than his rah rah boys here would like to admit.
As a consummate politician, Sarah was probably impressed by Trump’s rise in the polls and wanted to see if there was any part of Trump’s message that she could adopt.
That’s just a repeating of pol-style compliments. Palin doesn’t really want him to run and she hasn’t persuaded him to.
Trump does have a lot of liberal garbage in his political baggage. He has also come out strong almost challenging against what has been dragging this Nation down. I believe he is no promoter of Bush1’s ‘new world order’,a clear voice on that is needed . I also believe he is more a supporter of the Constitution principles than many other RHINOs. Having Trump on the political stage doesn’t frighten me as long as there are people like Palin, Bachmann, Cain, West and probably just a few others.
where’s your proof she hit trump up for money?
It’s a reaching out that I’d rather not have seen. I’m a Palin supporter despite her reality TV leanings and instincts.
Sounds like 80% of the GOP. Also, labels like "bigtime supporter of the UN" etc, un-anchored in any kind of documentation, are meaningless.
You’re the one who said Trump wasn’t liberal. When I give you five prime examples of how he is you respond with “sounds like 80% of the GOP.”. If you think 80% of the GOP is pro abortion and loves Hillary then you are on the wrong website. As for the rest, if you need me to Google “Trump UN” for you once again you are on the wrong website.
Sorry. Use google yourself. There’s plenty of examples of Trump kicking big government out of his face, and having a good record with regards to the US military in his early days.
Really. Don’t go sounding off like a brigadier to me ;).
I know you weren’t “talking” to me here, but Trump is no longer pro-abortion. He is pro-life.
Just my $0.02.
So is Mitt Romney, if you believe such conversions. Trump was a Hillary supporter just three short years ago. He was giving money to Harry Reid just last year. If you are truly pro life you can not support those people. If you do you have no morals, and I don't want you in power, and those seeking my vote should avoid such people.
Oh, crp.

Agreed. Trump loves nothing more than stroking his own ero.
