VAN SUSTEREN: All right, you talk about out of office -- let me ask you about 2012, not about you specifically. I may get to that. I don't know. But in terms of (INAUDIBLE) I'm sure you've seen all the controversy surrounding Donald Trump. What do you think about Donald Trump?
PALIN: I respect what he's doing in putting his money where his mouth is. He's actually investigating his speculation there on Obama's birth certificate and Obama's college records and all those things that Obama, though he promises to be a transparent official, he certainly isn't because he could certainly reveal many of these documents and put many of these issues to rest.
But here's -- here's the point with Donald Trump, though, which I hope that he will seize this opportunity. Right now, he's got the spotlight. He's got the megaphone. Now is his opportunity to really force a shift in debate and discussion in this country, get his media friends or his media enemies to really start listening to the other issues that Donald Trump really wants to talk about, and that is the high cost of fuel, that is our relationship with China. That is the bankruptcy road that we are on and what we can do to get off that road. Those things that Donald Trump can talk about I really hope that the media will start shifting with him now that he has the megaphone and the spotlight to the more important, very, very important issues.

she called him a flash in the pan talking about stupid stuff.....far from an endorsement
Maybe she is considering Trump as a possible VP candidate...
“... Palin is still stuck in “policies” are the problem”
Policies are the problem. One can say that Obama’s character is behind the policies, but his decisions, not his character, directly relate to the policies. Sarah regularly says she’s attacking Obama’s bad decisions, not his character.
No. Obama is the problem. If you talk policies, you’ll end up with Mitch Daniels. Only Trump right now has isolated OBAMA as the issue to be dealt with. He’s the one running in 2012, not his “policies.” We (and Palin) better wise up.
It’s a start. Remember Alinsky/Jerry Rubin. Once they meet one list of demands, hit ‘em with 10 more.
“No. Obama is the problem”
We are both correct. Obama and his team are the source of numerous bad decisions and policies. If there’s evidence he’s been dishonest then you could say that Obama himself is a problem.
Trump is proving it. Alinsky again: "PERSONALIZE the attack."
“It’s irrelevant whether he’s dishonest.”
Just watch how Palin evaluates Obama and his policies. Watch Trump too if you like.
Bravissimo!!!! This is Palin. She is out of the Spotlight enough for folks to miss her while cheering Trump for standing up and doing what she has been up until now, fighting and taking arrows.
However, Palin has a plan and Trump doesn't. Palin has a clue and Trump doesn't really. But, she had become over exposed, and this breather gives folks a chance to hear her voice perhaps for the first time when she re-enters the stage seriously.
I am shocked that I find her core issue is going to be the one that she will lead with, oil independence. It seemed like a bit of a side issue, but I believe it is core now to fending off this attack on American sovereignty and escaping the trap that Obama and the left have worked so hard to set for the last 50 years.
Sarah Palin is sharper than most give her credit for.
She had the ear of the nation when she addressed the death panels, but since then has been largely ineffective at engaging the larger issues.
Palin has stated that Obama is the problem since long before Trump started faking like he cares about conservative issues.
Well, no. Not in such clear words. If so, why hasn’t her message caught on? Trump leaps ahead of Mitt and Romney in a matter of weeks, Palin-—according to the latest poll-—was in single digits, at 9%. People keep looking for “hidden meanings” in what she does. Maybe it’s obvious: maybe she’s read the polls an knows that it’s a massive waste of money.
For two years Palin has been all over Obama, leading everyone else. It’s a significant credit to Palin that she hasn’t used the Alinsky tactic of targeting the person. Alinsky might have been clever but his lack of wisdom put him in a class with fools, and his advice was only destructive.
A likely explanation for the otherwise inexplicable failure to recognize Palin’s lead in criticizing Obama is that many have been confused by lingering images of the Tina Fey character. It’s true that Tina Fey’s anti-Obama message has not caught on, but we’re talking about Sarah Palin.
An announcement from Palin that she’s running for president would bring in unprecedented amounts of cash donations.
And I maintain that is a massive mistake, as proven by Trump’s success. So far, ONLY Trump is targeting Obama the person and succeeding. That should tell everyone, including Palin, something.
Palin’s successes against Obama during the past two years far surpass any of the Trump antics. Palin targets Obama’s actions, which have the effect of exposing Obama the person more than anything Trump—who historically supports the Obama/democrat agenda—can do.
As for the birth certificate, Trump took the easy way—risking nothing and taking advantage of the birther foundation of data that had been established during the days Trump was still praising Obama and universal healthcare.
