Ben Carson--who the Washington Post called the both best and worst campaign surrogate of all time--revealed that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, among many others, is on Donald Trump's shortlist for potential running mates.
[...]He had just explained to the reporter riding along that he wanted no role in a Trump administration when news arrived of a new poll naming him as the best liked of a list of potential running mates. Who else was on the list? he asked quietly, maintaining his usual inscrutable calm. The most favorably regarded contenders after himself, he was told, were John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin and Chris Christie. Those are all people on our list, he said. Well, not you, Candy reminded him sharply. That the Trump

Sarah is on the list as window dressing
she has made no indication she wants to do it all over again.
I’ve nothing against her. She’s a fine woman.
But strategically she’s a bad VP choice.
Here is another loser for you.
It has been going on since 2007.
It will be a disaster if he pick Plain. Too many in mush middle despise her. It will cost him votes.
He should pick Allen West.
Palin has been fully vetted. It's the MSM that did the character assassination.
Any women selected as VP will get the same treatment, and I doubt many could hold up as well as Palin.
If the VP choice is a man, the MSM will attack the Republican ticket as anti-woman.
It's a no win situation from the MSM, which is why Palin might be a very good choice.
In any event, I think that’s true. No GOPer should want to return to 2008. Palin is 2008.
I like her, but hope she’s not in the game. Too much attention will go her way. I’d prefer someone who knows the inner workings of DC, and not just how to talk on the stump.
Sarah is a fantastic conservative.
She had her time and apparently didn’t like it because she has not made any effort at a political office since. I would be very surprised if she entertained much less accepted the offer
Might as well float BB Netanyahu out there.
He would be great if eligible......
she wouldn’t help his ticket
She never corrected her shortcomings from the first time to be taken seriously
Get a speech coach to modify the voice tone, pitch and pace
Get an advanced degree - in international affairs
Now at her age, lose the big hair and get a professional style
Unfortunately her family will pull its usual stunts and create another sideshow. The oldest daughter and to some extent the son have pulled Sarah and the family name down and made them objects of derision. This left a mark that may never fade enough for her to achieve high office.
Trump does not need the circus, he has enough to deal with
I speak only from an image and PR perspective, not as a personal attack on a good woman
Allen West is highly unqualified to serve as POTUS if disaster struck Trump right after inauguration
Other than his military stunt that cost his promotion and career, and some fiery speeches...
No. Way. as a VP is he going to achieve the rapprochement and arm twisting that trump needs in dealing with the US Congress
