‘Jerry, how much do you think Lorne Michaels would pay me if I were to run in 2016?” Sarah Palin asked Jerry Seinfeld in a skit that aired as part of Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary special in February. “Run for president? Sarah, I don’t think there’s a number too big,” Seinfeld responded.

“Run for president? Sarah, I don’t think there’s a number too big,” Seinfeld responded.

“Hypothetically, then, what if I were to choose Donald Trump as my running mate?” Palin continued. “Sarah, you’re teasing us, that’s not nice!” Seinfeld responded in mock indignation.

That probably won't happen. The RNC chairman is usually a compromise selection from among all the factions.
