Should Donald Trump and Sarah Palin run as a GOP presidential ticket?

Should Donald Trump and Sarah Palin run together as a shovel-ready Republican presidential ticket?

We bring this up because over the weekend, the ex-governor of Alaska gave the current reality-show star an attaboy for his embrace of “birtherism.” You know, the school of thought that holds that President Obama was not born in the United States and therefore is not eligible for the job he now has, constitutionally speaking.

“I appreciate that ‘The Donald’ wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many Americans – you know, more power to him,” Ms. Palin said Saturday on Fox News’s “Justice With Judge Jeanine.” “He’s not just throwing stones from the sidelines; he’s digging in there. He’s paying for researchers to find out why President Obama would have spent $2 million to not show his birth certificate.”


For the record, we’ll note that there is lots of evidence that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii and that birthers tend to wave this aside. But right now, we’re more interested in the Trump-Palin mind-meld that appears to be occurring. Don’t you think their political personas would complement each other? They could be the Cagney and Lacey – or the Starsky and Hutch – of the upcoming GOP primary season.

Mr. Trump is doing pretty well among Republican voters at the moment, so he would bring some political appeal into such a partnership. He’s basically running like he’s already a boss, as opposed to some of the other candidates, who by comparison seem like applicants for the job.

So that would make an interesting ticket, to say the least.

4. The most talented science fiction writers of whom I'm aware might be able to do justice to

such a concept, though I doubt it.

8. Maybe they will win and speed up this ....

slow, gradual, and inevitable drift toward disaster.
I'm beginning to feel like I am on the Titanic and not only did the Captain hit an iceberg but, for the hell of it, he is hitting every iceberg he can find and puncturing all the life rafts.

9. F*&kin A they should!

It'd be a hoot and the debates would be comedy gold.

10. I know it's a big IF

But if they won the world would laugh and cry simultaneously.

Luckily i know very little about politics(and most things) so i'm hoping it will just be laughs.
