Donald Trump has been pretty dull lately, which isn't by his own design. He's tried hard to keep the fires burning, but those continuous fires burnt American citizens right out. How could Trump resurrect media interest in his political antics? Well, he could choose a firebrand running mate, or at least, he could imply said running mate in advance. All along, folks have suspected that the ballad of Trump and Sarah Palin could come to a roaring crescendo in 2016. Let's quickly recap the evidence of how this could happen.

Guest doesn’t mean VP.
At least this will prevent a lot of Democrats from voting for Trump
Palin brings her own constituency, and I don’t think female Democrats care about that one way or the other. They certainly won’t care in 2 weeks.
Too early to select a running mate, but just right to draw more support.
You really don’t think that Cruz would have wanted a Palin endorsement right now?
My sister - a die hard liberal / socialist said she was going to cross over and vote for McCain until he announced Palin as his running mate.
It’s tough to discuss my true political feelings with her because we really are on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
Hey, what happened to all you Palin lovers out there in FReeper land?
I can just imagine both Sarah and Trump talking to America at the same time, and they start doing this at all future rallies.
Sorry, folks, all too many se her as some stupid hick with a thoroughly redneck family. Her voice is a real turnoff. Being governor of a state is a plus. Except for Alaska. It just says backwoods hick. I am quite fond of her. But she will not work. May have sunk McCain.
People around here think that because we like her she is the key to victory. Wrong. We are not an accurate barometer. That should be obvious.
It does not mean VP, it means Trump is a SHOWMAN. THis is part of the show in the last two weeks before Iowa.
I think Trump wants to “run the table” to demonstrate a mandate rather then play nice with Cruz and lose Iowa to him. This will cement the support of the GOPe’s who are trying desperately to knock out Trump. If he can say I won them all, and they defect, they will look like deserters/liars after they made him pledge to support the nominee (their assumption was that it wouldn’t be him)
I think it’s smart politicking. And what Trump does well is retail politics. Look at the crowds who attend his rallies, pretty much everywhere.
Trump/Cruz 2016 would be fun.
Oh oh Darth Wasilla has arrived. Cue ominous John Williams music. LOL
Better to have Palin with you than against you. Lots of people voted for her not McAmnesty in 08 and that would include Iowans.
Dont worry, Palin lovers like Tea Partiers havent gone anywhere. Weve just learned to keep our head down and powder dry.
Secy of Interior or Energy.
Many are hard core Cruz supporters and they’re apoplectic.
Cabinet, Energy or Interior. Not VP
