Sarah Palin On Trump VP Shortlist?
Townhall.com ^ | May 15, 2016 | Christine Rousselle

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

Excellent technique to keep the pesky liberals confused, misinformed, off-balance, and guessing wildly.

...she (SP)has done nothing since the ‘08 election to help her image...

You mean her image and her family's images that were totally and utterly trashed by ALL media, including here on FR?

She's done...nothing...since 2008 to help her image, you really believe.

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.

Bad choice. She’s lost before....which makes her a “loser”.

Here is another loser for you.

You mean...like...bring voters out of the woodwork "all over again"? Those of us still alive and able to vote, you mean?

Lots of that going around FR lately.

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.

My thoughts exactly!

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.

You sound like a recent college grad with a degree in political correctness and election strategery.

In any event, I think that’s true. No GOPer should want to return to 2008. Palin is 2008.

Am not and never have been a member of the Republican Party. Just voted like one...for too long.

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
