Rumors Palin is top of Trump's VP list, says Carson

BEN CARSON REVEALS THAT VILLAGE IDIOT SARAH PALIN IS AT THE TOP OF TRUMP’S VP LIST

In an interview over the weekend, Trump campaign surrogate Ben Carson let it slip that village idiot Sarah Palin has made it to the top of the presumptive Republican nominee’s list of vice presidential possibilities.

Carson told the Washington Post that Trump’s short list also includes Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Of the names Carson listed, Palin is the only contender that did not launch a failed campaign during this election season. She did however, have an absolutely disastrous run for the White House as John McCain’s running mate in 2008.

Palin nominated herself for the position during an interview last weekend. She told CNN’s Jake Tapper that she was “as vetted as anybody in the country could be vetted.” However, apparently not being a total moron, she admitted that she would be more of a detriment to Trump’s campaign than an asset.

"I want to help and not hurt, and I am such a realist that I realize there are a whole lot of people out there who say, ‘Anybody but Palin.’ I wouldn’t want to be a burden on the ticket and I recognize that in many, many eyes, I would be that burden. So, you know, I just want the guy to win. I want America to win.”


To think that Trump is even considering the queen of the imbeciles and word salad connoisseur Sarah Palin for anything but forceful commitment to a mental institution for the psychiatric treatment she so desperately needs, is absolutely absurd. Then again Trump does have a habit of making the dumbest decisions possible, and choosing Sarah Palin as VP would certainly fit the bill.

Ben Carson has proved to be the worst campaign advocate in history. He endorsed Trump after his own presidential dreams went down the tubes, but quickly admitted that he had done so because he had been bribed. Carson has been full of memorable quotes that would have gotten anyone else kicked off of literally any other campaign, such as when he said that Trump “has some major defects, there’s no question about it.” Later in the same interview, Carson said that there are people in the United States who are better qualified to be president than Trump. He also never seemed to take into consideration that perhaps the campaign wouldn’t want the list of names being considered as a running mate for Trump to be made public just yet.

None of this has seemed to matter much to Trump though, since despite blunder after blunder the retired neurosurgeon turned politician has continued to rise in rank in the presumptive nominee’s campaign. In fact, Carson’s tendency to say what’s on his mind, whether he should or not, has apparently made Trump trust him even more.

It was announced last week that Carson would be stepping away from the search for a vice presidential nominee. Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski is now heading up the search.

I can only wish.

Kasich is trouble as is Rubio because they come across as not batshit crazy even though they are.

Not again. I almost lost my mind having to listen to this harpy during the 2008 campaign. This would be cruel and unusual punishment.

Unless he selected that fucking idiot as his VP.

They wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton, they just wouldn't vote.

Is that a good thing?

You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.
