Dr. Ben Carson confirmed five people on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s list of potential vice presidential running mates in a recent interview.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 VP running mate to John McCain, was one of the five Carson said was on the list. The rest are all former 2016 GOP presidential candidates: Trump’s closest competitor Sen. Ted Cruz, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Marco Rubio, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. (Read more at source)

Having been down that lonesome road before, Sarah will decline

Her real task is to dress up the list

Kasich will be the selectee

“If Trump wants Sarah Palin to be his VP, that’s who he should choose.”

You and I may love Sarah, but her image with the broader public needs rehabilitation. She can only hurt Trump by being his running mate, as those she appeals to, are already on board.

Trump obviously loves Sarah too, but I think they both understand the negative dynamics involved here.

Obama was vetted

No, he wasn't. McCain's vet was SR511 which both the Kenyan and Hellary agreed and signed their names to NBC = born on US soil to 2 US citizen parents.

No. No. No. No. No. And no to Carson. Trump isn't that dumb. I'd vote for Palin in a minute, and did, but don't know if the majority would.

I SO WISH PALIN had the opportunity to have been Trumps running mate before McCain, the press has DESTROYED her!!!! Trump WOULD NEVER have let this happen to her!!! I BELIEVE McCain’s OWN team was responsible for MOST of Palin’s demise!!!! She has NOT done much to help herself over the past years either!!! I do love Sarah but I don’t think this would be a smart move for Trumps ticket!!!! It is a shame because Sarah and Trump are on EXACTLY the same political page!!!!

Regarding mouse response, I recently had a problem like that. I then got a message from Malware Bytes that their free premium trial was near expiration. I had forgotten signing up for it, but after considering it, it did seem like the mouse slowdown coincided with the Malware trial. I used the “terminate trial now” option, and my mousie is all happy now. I am sorry that the trial was not a success, because I love the Malware free version, and was really considering the Premium version.

Governor Sarah Palin has been doing great.
Her astounding record of successful endorsements in the 2014 election gives her a strong base in Congress and with the Governors of States.
I wonder what internals prompted Mr. Trump to send Gov. Palin to take on Mr. Ryan in Wisconsin?
Paul Nehlan is a strong candidate opposing Mr. Ryan.
And Mr. Ryan may join Mr. Cantor in retirement.

We know she is the real deal. . You want your VP to bring votes to the ticket. Well, for those women voting solely based on gender, there will be a reason to choose the STRONGER woman over Cankles. . I think Sarah Palin would be an excellent choice as running mate for Donald Trump. I really do.

I do indeed remember that initial excitement after Sarah's VP acceptance speech. The whole country was fired up. It can happen again.

A lot of people voted for McCain because Sarah Palin was on the ticket. She will be a definite vote getter for Trump. Plus Trump will ignore all the critics, back Sarah 100% and tell her to 'go for it' on the campaign trail. All in all, a very positive net effect. I don't see any other potential VP choice being as big a vote getter for Trump as Sarah Palin. It's your call Mr. Donald Trump!

He was. The minute he said we don't have to be afraid of Obama, I knew he was pimping for him. 2008 was all a farce.

No one has defended Sarah as vociferously on this forum than I have, from the time she accepted McCain’s offer, to the present day.

You will not accuse me of withdrawing my support for her, and get away with it. It’s a damnedable lie, and an insult.

I will also stand by my reality-based assessment of her (regrettable) standing in the public eye. It simply is what it is.

I believe that she can eventually overcome her unearned negatives, but that will take work and time. I hope that President Trump finds a place for her in his administration where she can do that.

But that's exactly the point. We are in a different political universe now. Trump and Palin are almost clones, even with their no-nonsense, no PC personalities and certainly with their basic political platform beliefs.

What's winning for Donald Trump? How about a double dose?! I think the whole country would fall in love with them and the commie media's seizure, the OMGs, Hillary will now win, and being totally appalled will only help them.
