Palin Praises Santorum and Trump, Open to VP, Demurs on Late Entry

In Monday afternoon Fox News interview, ex-Alaska Guv praises Santorum again and adds "Donald Trump has a lot to offer."

Palin: "I did praise Rick Santorum and I'll praise him again...

[RefudiateObama2012]

Palin DID NOT address anything about VP. Bolling brought it up and she pretty much ignored it. Regarding her comments about Santorum and Trump, you might want to look at the interview before you jump to conclusions. She said that Santorum was ideologically consistent. She said that Trump has some good ideas. She said that Ron Paul was right on fiscal policy. She also said that NONE of the candidates are perfect.

[RefudiateObama2012]

What are you using for brains? Watch the interview. She does not support the idea of anyone running 3rd party. All she said was that Trump has the right to do what he wants and to think what he does.

Oh, give it up. I have never been a Palin fan but I've never been anti-Palin either. I've never considered her a serious candidate and now after this stupid endorsement of Trump, she's off her rocker.

I really have never been anti-Palin and as a matter of fact, I've always liked her more than her gullible fans and now today, this just proves it.

Quote: ""Donald Trump has a lot to offer."

You betcha he does--for Obama.

Remember to wag your finger when you say that.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Now, I am anti-Palin. If she's going to encourage Trump to run "third party", she's off my good list and it's time for all you Palin worshipers to wake up that she is just another flawed human being. If someone else encouraged Trump, you would be outraged but Saint Sarah says it, and it's A-OK.

""Donald Trump has a lot to offer."--Sarah Palin

BTW, that would make a good tag line, wouldn't it but why bother--she's not worth it.

[Windflier]

Now, I am anti-Palin.

Only "now"? LOL!

Just how short do you think our memories are? That's a hoot!

[RefudiateObama2012]

Perhaps the best thing you can teach your grandchildren and great-grandchildren is to get the facts before giving their opinion. Palin does NOT support Trump or Paul running 3rd party. She simply stated that each of them have some good ideas. She DID say that a 3rd party run would hand the election to Obama.

Have you been a palin supporter? If yes, then why don't you know about her record? don't we, as adult conservatives, dig into our candidates records?

Here is one site that links to various government budget and debt reports that show exactly what I wrote to be true vis a vis Wasilla.

As for the windfall tax...if you don't already know about that then you really have not been paying attention.

Same for the pipeline to nowhere and its $500 million commitment of Alaska taxpayers' money.

THEY’RE NOT DONATING MONTHLY!

Re the $500 million give-away that palin included in AGIA....

Here's a link to the official Alaska site that charts the project. You will see that absolutely nothing has moved forward but the good people of Alaska have in fact, through palin, been committed to paying $500 million even though, in the words of the state, there is no guarantee that a pipeline will ever be built...

And this was her crowning achievement as Governor.

I really don’t care what you think but I think if Sarah Palin really loves her country, she will be doing everything within her power to DISCOURAGE Trump—not encourage him.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

“Donald Trump has a lot to offer.”—Sarah Palin—enough said.

[Windflier]

I think if Sarah Palin really loves her country, she will be doing everything within her power to DISCOURAGE Trump—not encourage him.

Get off your hobby horse. This is merely justifier #349 for you to hate on Palin. Any other political figure could have made the same remarks, and you wouldn't have made a single comment.

Your reputation as a Palin hater extraordinaire, strips you of all credibility where she's the subject.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

And you have no discenment. You excuse the behavior of Palin that you would be criticizing someone else for saying.

So do you think Trump has something to offer? Palin does and you worship Palin so you, too must think Trump has something to offer, even if it's to reelect Obama.

I have no patience for anyone who would think of such an unthinkable act. Trump is to be ridiculed for his actions--not encouraged.

[Windflier]

Like I said, you need little provocation to pounce on Palin. It’s what the voices tell you to do.

[BunnySlippers]

Yes, she did say she would not support a third party.

Lately Sarah is seeming a bit flaky.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Fine, but it's time to wake up to just exactly who is Sarah Palin. Donald Trump is an egomaniac and Palin is helping stroke that giant-sized ego, even at the peril of our country.

Sarah Palin is no patriot and you would not allow anyone else to get by saying what Palin has said.

Is Sarah Palin encouraging Trump to run third party so he may ask her to run with him? I wouldn't be surprised.

There is NO virtue in encouraging Trump.

[mtnwmn]

I think that she was planning on running but something happened!!??? Don’t know what but she has made an about face.

[humblegunner]

If I wanted to intellectually chop you up into hamburger, and I don’t, I’d be charged with cruelty to the less fortunate.

I'm so glad that you didn't, you are ever merciful.

You just aren’t half as witty, nor intelligent, as you think you are.

I'm cut to the quick. I'll need to reconsider my whole worldview now.

Curse you, Norm Lenhart! I'm slain, crumpled in a ditch by your obvious superiority.

You betcha.
