Palin Is On Trump’s Veep Shortlist

https://politicalwire.com/2016/05/15/palin-is-on-trumps-veep-shortlist/

"SNIP............


Ben Carson told the Washington Post that former Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is being considered as Donald Trump’s running mate, along with many of the real estate billionaire’s former challengers.

1. Ever see a typewritten copy of a Sarah Palin speech?

44. (I didn't think they were THAT coherent!)

There is a pattern to that--which would imply that she has at least some degree of linear thought-pattern, and that is patently false.

[AgingAmerican]

53. ...

[MADem]

2. Everyone else said "Fuck no?" LOL! nt

[chknltl]

3. It worked well for Sen. McCain and...

...late night comedians.

[Eugene]

4. Ugh. The rest of that short list is almost as bad.

Carson says Christie, Cruz, Kasich, Rubio and Palin are on Trump’s shortlist for VP (Yahoo! News)

Naming Palin would be a YUGE blunder, but I'm not looking forward
to six freaking months of Palin's word salad.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

5. Drumpf denies

I believe I just read that Trump denied the report. Sounds like once again he leaks this info, the media spends a couple days talking about it, typically in a negative fashion, and then he denies it.

[elljay]

17. He said that Rubio is not on the list.

He had no comment re the rest of that stellar group of candidates. Cenk Uygur raised a good point about Trump not picking a qualified veep. If someone like Kasich were the VP, the Republicans could join with Democrats to impeach Trump when he makes the inevitable stupid move so they could get the establishment president they truly want. Now if Palin were the VP, even the Republicans might hesitate. Carson himself would be a better choice for Trump. Unlike the other candidates, no one really hates Carson- he seems like a personable guy when awake. He is even less qualified than Trump for the presidency and would shore up the evangelical vote. Carson might even help solve our poverty and hunger problems by supervising a program to build pyramids to store grain. We could get Egypt to pay for it.


Personally, I'm going to make a reservation for a substance abuse treatment program starting November 9th and am going to spend the next 6 months trying to anaesthetize my brain so I can't see, hear, or feel. The only way I can get through what is looking like a Trump/Clinton campaign....

23. Who's going to serve the last two years of her term?

We know her track record for holding public office. Once she finds out how little the VP slot pays compared to her reality shows, speeches and book deals, she'll be on her way.

[elljay]

24. Ha!

Worry not. I'm sure she'll pick a "suitable" candidate for her VP- maybe one of the Duck Dynasty clan . This will likely be our first hearing-impaired executive (I can't imagine anyone who can hear being able to last more than five minutes in the room with her without blood spurting from their ears).

[jmowreader]

42. Haven't most of those income streams dried up?

I think Trump will pick someone who won't upstage him. Palin would do that, so she's out.

With Trump's extensive track record in public service, he will HAVE to choose someone who's in the government as his running mate.

[elljay]

45. That would be the practical decision

for someone who recognizes how little he knows. Do you think Trump the narcissist has any clue how little he knows? BAll bets are off when they have gone this far off the rails!

[Albertoo]

43. You convinced me: how can I vote for Carson?

I mean, if he's going to build pyramids filled with grains all over the US, tourism might boom?
South Carolina Sphynxes, Montana mummies, the opportunities are endless.

[elljay]

48. I don't even know where the joking stops

and real life starts anymore. Either half of this country has gone barking mad or I need to commit myself quickly.

[Albertoo]

60. Are you saying my touristic schemes are mad?

[elljay]

63. No, they're sounding good

which I find disturbing. If they can build a creation theme park with people riding dinosaurs, then a grain-storing pyramid in South Carolina makes perfect sense. I'm feeling like I'm in one of those Star Trek episodes in which one of the characters ends up in some parallel universe, with everything almost the same but not quite.

[Albertoo]

66. btw, I own a splinter of the original Ark and a grain of salt from Lot's wife

Are you interested buying them from me with a piece of the Brooklyn bridge? Cheap, cheap.

[elljay]

72. Funny, so do I!

Maybe we could put them together and reconstruct them. We could surely find a buyer on eBay!

[corkhead]

75. a feeling of powerlessness makes people happy to at least be able to throw a wrench in the machine

It's happening in both parties.

[Mira]

70. I thank you!

for making me laugh. I can see the poor and hungry people trying to break into the pyramids .....

[elljay]

71. The jokes just write themselves this election! nt

[pinboy3niner]

28. Trump responds: "Shitlist. I said SHIT list!"

[Ilsa]

62. LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Thanks! nt

[niyad]

55. welcome to du

[ROFF]

6. She would

raise the IQ average of the republican ticket.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. No She Wouldn't

It would not improve an iota.

You think Trump is dumb. I can't disagree. He's amazingly lucky and great self-promoter, but he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Palin isn't even one of the knives. She's a spoon.

[applegrove]

10. A spoon. LOL!

[3catwoman3]

29. She's a...

...bendy straw.

[Ex Lurker]

7. This tells me Trump never intended it to get this far and he's trying to sabotage himself

before he wakes up the day after the election thinking "oh shit, what do I do now?"

[DesertRat]

33. I think you're on to something

I think he ran along with the 17 other candidates just to promote his brand, never thinking that he'd rise to the top.
Picking a crazy v.p. like Palin would be a great way to signal that he isn't a serious candidate.

[niyad]

56. I keep thinking of the last scene in "the candidate" with robert redford. that is exactly what

he says when he wins.

I always had the impression that that was the same thing ole ronnie said when he became governor.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. .

oh please oh please oh please oh please . . .

[sorefeet]

11. Maybe I am in a medically iduced coma

right now. It's all surreal, but I bet they notice my brain activity and will awaken me soon. Then this nightmare will be over. I wonder what happened. Did I get hit by a bus.

[elljay]

18. Brain activity has a known liberal bias nt

[applegrove]

31. DUZY!

[LuckyTheDog]

12. Because she was so good for John McCain? (nt)

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

13. Oh yes

Do it for the science.

I want to see what happens to the fabric of the space-time continuum when one supermassive black hole of narcissism attempts to devour the other supermassive black hole of narcissism.

I'm sure someone will get a thesis out of it.

[Tab]

14. I hate to say it but the best choice from Trump's point of view

(certainly not mine) would be to make Dick Cheney VP (donning flame suit now). He knows the ins and outs of Washington, the international side, and would run the country while Trump was the frontman, which seems to be the positions each are most comfortable.

But let's not get too hooked on that idea.

And you can stop with the tomatoes already.

Can anyone explain why such a concentration of absurdity in one small place didn't open a wormhole and gobble the good doctor up?

[BootinUp]

20. lol nt

[yellowcanine]

19. Trump will not pick Palin. Only room for one total nutjob on the ticket.

Seriously Trump does not want anyone competing with him for the spotlight.

[pinboy3niner]

21. Her dead porcupine jacket has a better chance than she does

[maddiemom]

77. That woman has STYLE!

[Duckfan]

22. Yippy Skippy!!!!

Now Tina Faye can come out of retirement!!!!

[DesertRat]

34. I love seeing Tina Fey play Palin on SNL!

But she's definitely not retired.

[SoCalMusicLover]

25. People Will Believe Anything They Read

Just like the media wants it.

Palin today, it will be a different name tomorrow, and so on....and so on.....

There ain't NO WAY he's going to pick Sarah. Not gonna happen. Unless he wants to lose spectacularly.

[Agnosticsherbet]

26. That is all we need.

[katsy]

27. Perfect couple... of narcissists

Let's wipe up the floor with them in November.

[Act_of_Reparation]

30. Good.

That chucklehead is kryptonite. Just ask John McCain.

[DesertRat]

32. Please please please

Let it be so.

[niyad]

40. you nearly owed me a keyboard (and dinner, which I nearly lost)

[DesertRat]

46. you're welcome

[Hairy Harry Potlover]

35. 40-state Democratic Avalanche

[thesquanderer]

36. I think they're mixing up "short list" and "short bus". (n/t)

[tclambert]

37. According to the 12th Amendment, the President and Vice President cannot be from the same state.

It's not clear if the state of insanity counts.

[applegrove]

38. LOL!

[niyad]

39. good gracious, is anybody still paying attention to that lying, hyperbolic pos?

[elljay]

49. Sorry, which one?

There are so many I've lost track....

[niyad]

57. I know. it is so hard to keep track of the clown car and its inhabitants. in this case, bennie.

[bucolic_frolic]

41. Ben is seeking

a perfusionist

[Brother Buzz]

47. Trump's VP short list is gonna be HUUUGE!!!

So Palin's inclusion doesn't mean squat.

[Dr. Xavier]

50. Does anyone know if Vegas is giving odds???

Just asking... I personally would go with Nikki Haley if he's going to pick a woman...

[applegrove]

51. I think Haley said she did not want to be VP.

[AgadorSparticus]

52. This didn't surprise me. He doesn't get along with anyone else.

He and Palin seemed to actually like each other. Unlike cruz and Carly. I still laugh at that hand struggle moment. Omg. That was just gold. 😂😂😂😂

[packman]

54. Trump/Palin ticket - Canada isn't far enough

But, somehow, this appeals to the dark side of me. You know, that side that like to see cosmic comedy at work. Surely America CAN'T be that dum.

[applegrove]

58. Trump will have to build a wall along the Canadian border.....to keep people in the USA.

[Hekate]

59. Oh please, please, please God, make it so. Not one but TWO word-salads with a side order of nuts.

[kairos12]

61. Combination of 2 bad reality shows. If they get elected the country gets fired.

[rladdi]

64. That would be the team that would destroy America the fastest.

[Octafish]

65. Imagine the possibilities.

Tawd! Don't come in here without knockin'!

[Feeling the Bern]

68. Palin is like a counterfeit $20 bill. She just keeps coming back.

[Bad Dog]

69. Her stateswoman like gravitas will act a brake on Trump's recklessness.

When Sadiq Khan called Trump ignorant Trump showed his ignorance by saying Khan should take an IQ test. Clearly that's no barrier for Palin. Just as well because I think she'd have problems spelling IQ.

[Dan]

73. Poor Donald, if he hasn't figured this out

Then he needs to study history, probably the hey day of the Roman Empire.

If poor Donald selects someone like Palin - it shows a true lack of judgement, especially if the American people put such a combination in the White House. Dumb and Dumber.

But if poor Donald selects an establishment GOP for the role of VP - then the party (if they control the house) will impeach him inside of 6 months, and then everything is okay for the party.

He truly is stuck between a rock and hard place.

The only thing he can really do is select someone from the GOP establishment that the party hates more than him (I am thinking Cruz) and then he might be able to retain his position in the White House if he wins. Of course then, we have a man (that I believe suffers from mental illness) combined with a man that believes in the end times. Maybe Donald isn't screwed, might be us.

Poor baby... He truly should study history.

My thoughts...

[Bette]

74. Oh please,

Let him pick her! We can't lose if she re-appears in VP form! Although I don't think I can stand hearing her screeching for 6 months. I already can't stand the sound of Herr Drumpf with his constant whining and bragging about how 'smart' he is. Plus, now he's been endorsed by the KKK. What a fun summer, eh?

[maddiemom]

76. Oh, please----please, please, please!

Let this ticket (Trump/Palin) happen! What fun, and would also further the theory that Trump doesn't really want to be president, only wants to prove that he COULD be if he wanted it.

[emsimon33]

78. God bless him, but he is trying everything NOT to be elected

The irony is that no matter what he does at this point, including shooting a five-year-old child in broad daylight on 5th Avenue in NYC, will work. People are disgusted, hurting, and angry. They want change at any cost. And sometimes the Devil you know is more repugnant than the Devil who is ambiguous.

[Brother Joe Observes]

79. And on that note, I'm going beddy-bye
