No, Sarah please do not push Trump. He's not a conservative. And be wary about him cozying up to you. I don't trust the guy one bit.

[4rcane]

i hope its simply her being polite. Trump is a liberal

[9YearLurker]

I’m with you, ej. She is picking up on his China message in some fashion, which is interesting.

Trump would be uniquely qualified to be US Trade Representative in a Palin administration.

Palin is lining up Trump for a top spot. And an endorsement - not by Palin. By Trump.

Then some campaign cash, ending with a cabinet post.

IMO. I would be overjoyed to see Trump leading our trade policy. That is, pretending we actually have a trade policy.

[Genoa]

Worthless. In reply to such a question, what else was Trump supposed to say? "No, she doesn't want me to run. She's trying to discourage me."

[TexasCajun]

Sarah's just stoking the TheDonald's ego to get him and his money firmly in her corner.

(Dang, that sounds like a Weiner thread post.)

[Brandonmark]

[cripplecreek]

Chances are that Trump is lying anyway.

[hosepipe]

Trump would make a good VeeP.. (probably)..
BUT a lousy President..

Sarah Louise Palin

Born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, ID (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Charles R Heath, born in ID
Sarah Sheeran, born in WI

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama isn't!

RE :”“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, she’d love me to get back,” Trump responded. “You know, I had great poll numbers. ”

'Trump will save us' ping, remember :
The Dream of a President ‘kick butts’ Trump (or ‘If only Trump ran.. ’)

LOL thanks for the laugh, Trump is the MASTER at playing the MSM suckers. He really ran an 'unconventional' campaign.

[ASA Vet]

Trump and Palin “teaming up in some fashion

Nope, she met someone better.

[Oldpuppymax]

The way in which Trump would be useful as a candidate? He could FORCE Hussein to expose just a bit of his sordid past! Just as Hussein offered a copy of his birth certificate—forgery or not—because Trump made such an issue of it, The One might be pressed into revealing his medical history, college history (grades and admissions) SAT/LSAT scores, Illinois Senate records, info on social security NUMBERS and a host of other things now being covered up by the national media. Hell, unlike gutless Republicans, Trump might even point out that Hussein is NOT constitutionally eligible to even BE in the White House, not being a NATURAL BORN citizen (BOTH parents were NOT born in the US!)

The running list of who's in, who's flirting and who's retired. I left out some of the joke candidates - your mileage may vary.

Michele Bachmann
Haley Barbour
John Bolton
Herman Cain
Mitch Daniels
Newt Gingrich
Rudy Giuliani
Mike Huckabee
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
Gary Johnson
Thad McCotter
Roy Moore
Sarah Palin
George Pataki
Ron Paul
Tim Pawlenty
Rick Perry
Buddy Roemer
Willard Romney
Rick Santorum
Donald Trump

*Candidates in red are in the ”I can't get drunk enough to vote for them” category.

P.S. For some of the more delusional FReepers: Red means I don't want them as President, Vice President or any cabinet position. Nutjobs and liberals should not be in charge of multi billion dollar departments which affect vast portions of our economy and our lives. I don't care what their 'specialty' is. No VP Trump, no Treasury Secretary Paul, no Commerce Secretary Romney.

[McGruff]

“Well, she’d love me to get back,” Trump responded.

Notice not a direct quote. I’m getting a whiff of BS here.

[Steel Wolf]

The title is a pretty significant twist on what Trump and Palin actually appear to have said.

[sickoflibs]

Maybe Trump has a secret unconventional plan to jump in at the end of the race, win the primary and beat Obama, after all his ‘poll numbers looked good’. Maybe his is using his Apprentice TV show to ‘get his message out bypassing the MSM’ before ‘jumping in’...look how the MSM is following him...LOL

What a character Trump is, ..:) Trump is like the laugh of the day.

[Finny]

Any professional writer (or editor) who opts for "a myriad of" over the more elegant and proper use of the word "myriad" loses me from the start, as silly as that is (and yes, I know it's silly ... language is dynamic whether one likes it or not). But "He and Palin discussed a myriad of topics" instead of "He and Palin discussed myriad topics," indicates I'm reading something from a "pro" (or a "pro" editor) who isn't quite. So it's wise to take the story with a big grain of salt.

[AFreeBird]

I beleive Sarah has always said competition is good, as is diverse and spirited debate of ideas.

And since she has yet to formally and officially decide to enter the race herself, she’s not telling anyone not to run. Well, except Barry.

[VictoryGal]

Trump is a liberal poser. In a longer article:

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-palin-trump-20110601,0,5439542.story?track=rss

Trump says the Ryan plan is a “death wish”.

[Notary Sojac]

I think this is a good move on Sarah's part to bolster her image.

Nothing would help highlight the seriousness, the intellectual depth, the bred-in-the-bone gravitas of Sarah Palin half as well as would putting her on the debate stage next to Donald Trump.
