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.

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.

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?”

'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 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.'

My problem with Palin is a singular issue. Why would a potential US government official wear a flag demonstrating solidarity to another nation?

I wonder if Trump is going to bow down to Israel covering up his infamous hair-doo with one of those ridiculous Jewish skull caps, too?

First, I see two flags there. Second, do you think the Vice-President sets foreign policy?

Yes, Bucky actually believes Veeps set policy AND that Sarah Palin would because an Israeli satellite state.

The degree of effective brainwashing of our own citizenry, and political myopia makes ANY chance our Republic is once again governed by the sane extremely low.

Are the two of you so slow that you don't understand that VP's have a history of running for president,or that VP's from successful administrations even win elections? That's how that evil bastard Poppy Bush got into office. He rode Reagan's coattails.

Oh, but wait -- according to YOU, Palin would turn the US into Israel's vassal-state, and create an EO that enforces all Americans to wear a Yarmulke.

Gotta give you credit. When you hijack the Crazy-Train, the cliff is never far away.

That would be YOU -- the one who believes EVERYTHING was created out of....NOTHING.

Maintaining your "faith" not only requires you to believe in lies,it also requires you to tell them youself.

Since you seem to think you know it was God because there is no other explanation, would you care to tell us who created your "God"?

Illogical. The Creator and Author of all things could only have been created...by...An Eternal Creator.

How can you really reject an Eternal, Omnipotent "God" simply because neither of you can wrap your head around the simple notion that The Creator has no Beginning nor End? The Universe's Laws of Physics don't apply in a dimension you don't concede exists.

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. Any question asked can be asked with "Because it was God's will!"

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?

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.

The eyewitness accounts can be found in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts. Even in the book of Revelation.

Company sales brochures don't count as proof of anything,other than there is an organized company behind the product.

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.

Then Julius Caesar and every historical document is hearsay according to your standards.

Who created The Walrus? NOTHING I suppose?? OR was an "accident" when NOTHING collided with NOTHING and created...a Walrus?

Desperation is never pretty,and that hollow laugh fools no one. You must be a doubter too,but live in fear of not gaining eternal life if you admit it,so you are getting desperate. Guess what,bubba? When you die,that's it. No more life,no more anything but a dirt nap for eternity. You will be gone,and the world will still be spinning,and not even notice you are missing.

First you double-down and state twice that you "Don't know" whether there's proof of God...

But then you're as sure as can be about, a "dirt-nap," and, "When you die, that's it."

Sounds like you have a religion/cult, Jethro, but have only yet to name it. Might I suggest "ATHEIST"??
