Sarah Palin On Donald Trump: 'I Thank God That He's Running'

Source: Right Wing Watch/People for the American Way

Last week, Donald Trump told the hosts of “The Palin Update,” a webcast dedicated to all things Palin, that he would consider tapping the former-half-term governor for a post in his presidential administration. This week, Palin returned the favor, stopping by the program to praise the “awesome” Trump. Palin, who once hailed Trump as a “hero,” didn’t hold back on praising the GOP presidential frontrunner: “He’s awesome. I thank God that he’s running. He’s stirring it up, he’s coaching, he’s educating the other candidates saying, ‘This is how you tap into the good part of a populist movement.’”

She urged other Republican candidates to “emulate” Trump rather than being “so stubborn and not humble enough to admit, ‘Oh, he’s right about that.’”

Palin also lauded Trump for his “boldness” in describing her as a “special person,” calling him a courageous truth-teller. She added: “I do know Donald Trump well and personally even I can vouch for his character, his love of country and his intelligence when it comes to these solutions that he proposes.”

“Donald Trump is the art of the deal in so many respects, he wrote that book called ‘The Art of the Deal,’ but he literally knows the art of the deal and here in America we are losing deals left and right,” Palin said. “We’ve lost our industrial base, we’re losing our friends and allies, we’re losing obviously respect around the globe, we’re losing morale in the United States military with the troops whom we so respect and love and we want them to be able to respect and love their commander in chief and organization and all of these things that we’re losing deals on. Donald Trump is one who is saying, here’s how you fix the problem, here’s how you seal the deal to win.”

Respect for the US worldwide dropped when W was placed into the WH. Thought THAT was rock bottom for this country? Along comes lumpy little McCain, turning the Screech from Wasilla loose. Palin made it "politically correct" to spout racist comments, so people yelled "Kill him" at her rallys. She should go home, prepare for her older daughter's FIFTH illigitimate baby, help her find out who the father is since she does not know.

the Fox News crowd doesn't give a rat's ass about how Mexico or Japan or China perceives us. They just want the US to be the world's "tough guy" and bully - just like Trump. In their minds, if the US talks tough, we get respect.

Palin gains nothing by talking against Trump (his base includes most of her fan club), and loses nothing by promoting him.

She won't do anything for free. I wonder if he wants this loser out there reminding people how they lost the election in 2008.

But Trump is a gift that keeps giving. He will just expose the GOP for what they really are to a wider public.
