  • Gaffe-prone former Alaska governor has heaped praise on Trump recently
  • In interview, she has fawned over Trump, praising him for his 'strength'
  • And The Donald has said he would love 'special' Palin as his running mate

Sarah Palin could be joining Donald Trump’s presidential ticket in a dream celebrity pairing for the Republican Party.

The gaffe-prone former Alaska governor has heaped praise on Trump in recent interviews, adding that he is doing a great job of ‘shaking it up the way it should be’.

Now, it appears Palin, 51, could be entering another presidential race, returning to the same role she had in 2008 alongside John McCain – but this time as Trump’s running mate.

Scroll down for video

Sarah Palin was asking Trump how he deals with media bias when she congratulated him for 'schooling' anchor Jorge Ramos, branding him a 'dangerous activist' for shouting questions at Trump

Sarah Palin was asking Trump how he deals with media bias when she congratulated him for 'schooling' anchor Jorge Ramos, branding him a 'dangerous activist' for shouting questions at Trump

Speaking to Extra TV, Palin said: ‘He is just getting crucified out there just for telling the truth. He’s doing a good job of that.’

She added: ‘He’s leading other candidates and having to talk about the issues that average Joe Six-Pack American wants to hear and wants to talk about.’

The Donald sparked rumors last month by saying he would ‘love’ to have Palin as a running mate.

‘She really is somebody who knows what's happening and she's a special person.’

And Palin fueled speculation further by deflecting questions on whether she would like to join the Trump ticket.

Trump also spoke about a tax crackdown on hedge fund managers and pledged to simplify the tax code for the middle class, who he said are being 'treated horribly'

‘Well, there are so many good potential female running mates out there, and male running mates,’ she said.

Republican Party strategist Rick Wilson described the Trump and Palin's pairing as a 'singularity of celebrity politics'.

'Donald Trump is not a rational political actor and so the things you might expect of a rational political actor are not the sort of thing you should expect of Donald Trump, he told The Telegraph.

'So the truth is that any damn thing is possible with that man.'

Palin also leapt to Trump’s defence recently, when she hit out at Univision anchor Jorge Ramos during an interview, branding him a 'dangerous activist'.

Speaking about Ramos being ejected from a press conference for shouting questions about immigration, Palin told Trump: 'You sure schooled that radical activist. He's not doing that again.'

Palin made her remarks while asking Trump about the unfair treatment she claimed conservatives receive from the media, asking him whether he felt he was treated badly over the incident.

Trump reminded Palin that he is currently suing Univision for $500million after cancelling his Miss Teen USA pageant following his remarks on Mexicans when he launched his campaign.

He added: 'The press was actually quite good to me on that one, he was screaming and ranting and raving. I actually didn't know who he was at first.

'I would gladly have answered his question but he spoke out of turn. He was hurting the rest because the room was packed and they were waiting for questions.'

During another bizarre exchange, Palin asked Trump how he became 'strong' enough to deal with harsh questions - including when he was asked about his favorite Bible passage.

He replied: 'I love the Bible, I'm a Presbyterian. They were hitting me with questions one after another and then they said “what's your favorite verse?”

Among the other topics up for discussion were the Bible, which Trump said he loves more than his own book, and veterans, who Trump again pledged to protect

Among the other topics up for discussion were the Bible, which Trump said he loves more than his own book, and veterans, who Trump again pledged to protect

'That's a very personal thing, I don't like giving that out to people I hardly know. There are certain things that you and myself and a lot of other people like to keep personal.

'But I love the Bible. Somebody once held up The Art Of The Deal and I said "that's my second favorite book".'

The former running-mate to John McCain was quizzing GOP frontrunner Trump as part of a segment on One America News this evening.

As well as reiterating his pledges to properly support American veterans, Trump also spoke about plans to decrease taxes for the middle class.

The business mogul, who has previously boasted of his wealth, said that he would back a crackdown on hedge fund managers, who he says make huge profits 'but are hardly paying any tax'.

He added: 'We have a complex tax code that nobody understands. People have to spend tremendous amounts of money for accountants and lawyers.

'I'm in favour of simplifying the code and getting rid of reductions. You have to simplify the code.

'We have to help the middle class, the country was built on the middle class. They have so much to do with what we have now and they are being treated horribly.'

THE QUEEN OF BLUNDERS: SARAH PALIN'S BIGGEST GAFFES

Sarah Palin's (pictured with former running mate John McCain) campaign in 2008 was filled with gaffes

Sarah Palin's (pictured with former running mate John McCain) campaign in 2008 was filled with gaffes

Sarah Palin's vice-presidential campaign in 2008 was riddled with highly embarrassing blunders - mainly for her running mate John McCain.

She notoriously failed to name a single newspaper or magazine that she reads in an interview ith Katie Couric.

Palin said: 'I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.'

But when Couric pressed for specific publications, Palin flubbed: 'Um, all of 'em, any of 'em that, um, have, have been in front of me over all these years.'

In another notable faux pas, she floundered through questions on the price of oil and the economy in Thanksgiving interview - in front of a man chopping off turkey heads.

Geography is definitely not Palin's strong suit.

In October 2008, she told supporters at a fundraising event in San Francisco: 'They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan.'

Palin waded into the controversy over a mosque planned near Ground Zero in New York in 2010.

She took to Twitter to say: 'Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate.'

The tweet was later deleted, likely when she realized 'refudiate' is not a word.

In a radio interview in November 2010, Sarah Palin was asked how the United States should respond to the escalating tension between North and South Korea.

She replied: 'Obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies.'

All this is WHY man dreamed up the idea of a God. It explains what can't be understood by giving the credit to an all-powerful magical being.

Prove it.

Are you starting to catch on to the fact that the existence of any God can not be proven until and unless that God starts making public appearances, and that you can NOT prove than any God does NOT exist because it is impossible to prove a negative?

I know this may come as a shock to some of you,but I did NOT know Jesus personally,so I can't state with any certainty what his goals were. I can only assume he meant well,and if he got free rent,food,and living expenses out of it,he earned them.

Not that it makes any difference at all what I think about him.

I know this will also be a shock to YOU, but there are millions of people who DO know Jesus....personally. I am one of them; You'll find a good half-dozen posters at this forum who will say the same. He's as real to me as any person, place, or thing.

The record of Jesus' mission, wisdom, and goal is on record, Pete.

Unfortunately, you can't "know" what you readily reject; Though you have eyes you can't "see"; You can't hear because you won't listen.

Yes, it DOES make a difference what you think about Jesus, the historical Man. It's the difference between eternal life and the alternative.

Then again,in a just world,no religions would take the Kings Money and agree to do the Kings Work. They would remain independent of any and all governments,and operate off their own dimes.

That's a good point and I agree 100%.

As long as churches continue to operate under the 501(c)3 provision, they are merely operating as a branch of the government.

No one said this was a "just world" -- point not taken.

Moreover, just what does the acceptance of government money have to do with adherence to the Gospel?

Uh, no, not quite traditionally. But if this government is going to insist (unprecedentedly by the way) on dictating terms and content of worship, then ONLY in that case does your argument hold a single drop of water.

Well God did make hundreds of appearances in the flesh no less. Thousands of people saw it. The eyewitness accounts can be found in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts. Even in the book of Revelation.

Now that is what is called evidence. It is up to the unbiased mind to examine the evidence.

As in a court of law, no prosecutor can come up to the judge and say "the defense has no case and you need to dismiss any evidence they bring to bear."

That's what you are doing Pete. You try to impeach the witness testimony without even considering it.

To consider evidence means to examine it.

A most excellent question. As if the institutions of the governance of man has to do with the Sermon on the Mount. Now if government leaders wished to employ their duties within the Sermon on the Mount, there would be less government corruption and more money for Paula to go after in the private sector.

From Dr. Luke, physician, evangelist and historian the following from Luke chapter 1:

Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed.

I have examined it,and found it to all be hearsay,not reliable evidence.

Especially an Infinite mind which represents the product of primitive hysteria dominant during the time of biblical speculation and still persists today. Blind trust without reproduceable evidence is the mark of an idiot.

After reading at the below link, your perceived accuracy of 'history' will be rocked. If you hold non-Christian manscript evidence to your 'hearsay' model, then nothing from ancient history is reliable...Nothing.

So, by your statements you are now boxed in to two possibilities. (1) Everything in history is hearsay and ALL historical documents are inadmissable as evidence and/or (2) the manuscript evidence are deliberate frauds as part of a vast 5,000 year ongoing conspiracy.

Well that is true.

However, given we have some manuscripts of Caesar's Gallic Wars and his and other general's testimony that they won those wars, we should at least consider that as evidence of their victories.

Of course we don't have anything from the Gallic war chiefs at all. Why? Because they lost. So that does not mean Caesar and his generals created a Gallic wars conspiracy. They won and lived to write about it. Plus they had the apparatus of the empire to rewrite their accounts and pass it down to the following generations. I accept that history because of the manuscript evidence AND the fact that the institutions created by Rome testify to it.

Same goes for the evidence of Scriptures and the church which transcribed the autographs.

Most of Christianity is fantasy. Most societies speculate on the origin of the universe and reality. Christianity believes in one God while the norse believed in 25 Gods. I don't belier that people can be swallowed by whales and live to tell about it. I don't believe the hokum about Adam and Eve and the apple in the Garden. I don't believe the entire Earth was covered five miles deep in water and that it suddenly evaporated. From a study of Jesus I find no evidence that he was divine. He was a Rabinical student rabbi who didn't make it but cultivated attention by preaching some Talmidic verses to a previously unacquainted population. I find no evidence to believe Jesus had any knowledge of economics or any other modern thought.

I have tried to be civil in discourse with you people. In return, you harangue me with gobbledegook that violates every standard of logic and disciplined thought then claim I'm doomed to go to hell if I don't believe it. It's pissing me off. You have lost every argument or confrontation with the counterculture for years and are destroying the country with your outmoded incompetence. We as ass deep in casual abortions, free sex, drugs, immaturity, and infantile self absorbtion while you lamely quote biblical nonsense. You are killing us with your pretense of being the only other alternative.

However, given we have some manuscripts of However, given we have some manuscripts of Caesar's Gallic Wars and his and other general's testimony that they won those wars, and his and other general's testimony that they won those wars,

In second year Latin in high school we were required to translate Caesar's Gallic Wars from the original.

Don't know what got your Kimono in an uproar.

But I will make sure you stick your Samurai sword in your belly if your table manners are rude. I'm sure you will do the honors without prompting.

As I have said here many times, I believe in a Modernized form of Bushido. Among other things I am dead set against unconditional loyalty to retainers.

Well I realize you don't believe. That's quite clear. But the illogic is truly something came from nothing. Produce some evidence of such. You can't.

It is also not illogical for a Creator to be Master of His own creation. We observe such often with the things we create.

I understand there are a host of man-made garden variety philosophies and religions out there. Most are focused on temporal and temporary self improvement or self gratification. That is where Christianity is different.

The "doomed to hell" message you pick up on is what you really want to hear to reject the actual loving message of God in the Bible. There are more words, chapters and books on God's Grace and Mercy than fiery hell.

The OT and NT record actions and words of God's love, Grace and longsuffering so that no one would perish. Just as a loving parent would never even see a child go down the road to destruction. Even taking back and forgiving an offending child.

However, most are comfortable in our human race to be the lump of clay contending with the Potter.

Your comments are nonsense on the counter culture. The culture of "me" started in the 50s when people started worshipping objects and money while becoming cold to their neighbor and own families. The 60s spawned out of this ever increasing pursuit of self gratification and coldness to neighbor. The counter culture took the next step towards self destruction and delusion. They had no place to go but there because they rejected what this nation was built on...

"Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society."

So you can rage away that somehow Christians caused the decline of our nation. That would be most illogical. The message has been the same for thousands of years and the direction taken by most is to oppose the message because self gratification and self centeredness has always been mankind's downfall.

History is full of examples of nations rising and falling. We had something good here in the US for almost two centuries. Then most slapped it away to pursue their ambitions at any cost to family, neighbor and community.

So goes history... So goes self destructive societies.

I guess I grossly misrepresented your modern version of your belief system. A lot of that going on here no?

Original what exactly? You had an autograph of the actual parchment Caesar wrote on. Fascinating. Should be in a museum.

Or did you have a copy of the 10th Century manuscript Catholic monks pieced together from fragments.

If you go to the link I left Pete twice above you will know what I am speaking of.

Not the original parchment. A copy of the original writing. We had a teacher who thought she was a reincarnation of Calpurnia and was really gung ho. She knew her stuff.

Ok, understand it was some copy of a later manuscript.

Good drill and what is missing from schools today.

Second year language classes (take your pick Latin, French etc.) in my Catholic HS, there was a policy that no English was to be spoken in class. That means if you did not study and practice on your own, you were quickly behind with instruction. Which means spending more time with Sister Mary Midget after school for additional instruction. That is what I call movtivation:)

Produce some evidence of such. You can't.

The burden of proof is not on me. You make as assertion then back it up with circular reasoning. We go round and round the circle based upon your belief.

It makes as much sense as arguing the universe was created by the tooth fairy.

"Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society." For many people that is true because of their limitations and that is why I have been reluctant to criticize religion as they will be left with nothing. There is an alternative way. I am a psychoanalytic(in the broad sense), logical positivist realist, who believes in a modernized form of Bushido. Morality is determined by healthy empathy and integrity.

I have to leave for a while to do pressing errands.
