Don’t think Trump will need 8, four should do.

If Trump, do you think Cruz would accept VP?

Neither one seems like VP material.

Sarah is like all the rest of us, capable of being mistaken.
As we often are where politics is concerned. - I agree that
Trump probably has the best chance of beating either Hitlery
or Sanders. - Some paper did what they thought was a hit
piece on Trump the other day. It was actually a stellar
endorsement complete with great photos of him in his
military school and athletics programs. - Then there’s the
photos of Hitlery in her crusty orange pantsuit. Ugh.

Palin knows the Federal Government is broken. And some of the candidates are the same that did nothing to correct some of the corruption.

If by corruption you mean the federal government isn't working, then Trump might be the solution, although I still need to be sold on that.

If by corruption you mean its traditional meaning of abuse of power and dishonesty, Trump's not the guy IMO. Someone who has played the system his whole life, laughs about it without condemnation, is part of the problem, not the solution.

Not a surprise, at least, not for me. Sarah Palin is a non-conformist, sort of anti-establishment sort of person, with a HUGE degree of self-sufficiency, and unafraid of controversy.

Single-handedly, she probably kept John McCain from being TOTALLY swamped in 2008, because people who would not spit in McCain’s direction turned out to vote because Sarah was on the ticket - I know that was my motivation. Sarah more than held her own against “Slow Joe” Biden, when he came off as a creepy old man, in the single 2008 debate between the Vice-President candidates.

McCain shot himself repeatedly in the foot when he would not comment in any way about the very clear deficiencies that the Current Occupant had as to grasp of the facts, or of the very singular lack of relevant work experience the Current Occupant displayed. It was as if McCain did not WANT to be President, and he let the job opportunity slip away by default.

Sarah Palin was MUCH more enthusiastic.

um, she ran as his VP pick. That did not seem to bother people then.

I guess she was great as long as she agrees with them.

Well, she is a maverick and does what she pleases.

This is excellent.

I am using this now in all my response to anti-Trump twits on FR.

Um, she backed him as Senator. After his staff and family trashed her. It bothered people then.

Part of her choice is likely that she sees Trump with a better chance to win and she wants to be energy Secretary.

I am almost at the end now. (I had to pause and resume several times.)

It is great!

Not a word about Trump’s business success. Starts out with Trump supposedly using his television show as an entry into politics.

Trump was a billionaire developer before he had a TV show. That is why he had a TV show to begin with.

Trump was always on TV, saying things many years ago, before he had a TV show, that he says now.

And quite a few posters fake not knowing anything at all about his business success prior to his TV show. They snicker about his “reality” show, since, of course, they have advanced so much beyond that themselves.

Spot on! A Trump/Cruz ticket would be necessary to undo the damage the DemonRATs have done to this nation.
