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?

There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't

Geez Louise. Does the Daily Mail need to publish rumors and speculation about Trump because there's nothing else about Trump to report on?

Being a potential US government bureaucrat at a top level places her opinions into influential spheres of all sorts, to include the perpetuation of dual citizenship that the US government should clearly rescind.

"Being a potential US government bureaucrat at a top level places her opinions into influential spheres of all sorts"

They do it because their management despises Palin and Trump and decided to take off the gloves.

There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't

Since the US government already donates about 3 BILLION dollars of US citizenry hardearned tax dollars to Israel on an annual basis, it could be inferred that a foreign government means more than the US domestic government. Do we donate more to that losing cause? Do we make them a new state?

Sodomy marriage. Biden really ticked off Obama by coming out publicly for it months ahead of Obama.

If it wasn't for Biden, it isn't certain that Obama would have moved that strongly on the marriage cases. Biden forced Obama's hand, perhaps unwittingly.

Biden is just as strong a Lefty as Obama. While in the Senate, Obama was the most Left senator and Biden was #2. Even Sanders was only #3 or #4.

Is that what Buckeroo meant when he said Palin's opinion might influence a President Trump? That she would blurt out something like "Israel is going to be our 51st state"?

All Biden did was pre-announce Obama's "evolving" opinion. It changed nothing. Obama didn't have the power to do anything about gay marriage.

Obama was for it all along, from his time as a state senator in Illinois in the Nineties when he advocated for it regularly, just as he opposed the Born Alive legislation there after the partial birth scandal in Illinois. Always the most radical, the most Left. He only toned this down when he ran for prez.

However, there were no signs that the Obama crew and the Dems would push for gay marriage until Biden came right out suddenly for it. Initially, Obama kind of distanced himself and wouldn't agree with Biden (publicly). But after a few weeks, apparently the polls looked good so Obama joined Biden and kind of resented him for grabbing the glory.

I was just pointing out that, on one issue, Biden took the lead. And how petty Obama looked resenting him for it.

The emperor unintentionally divided Iraq into 3 nations ,as Biden suggested should be done when he ran in 2008.

gotta agree with you there. The emperor had every intention of coming out once he thought it was politically safe to do so .

you can only wish you achieve as much in your career as Palin has done with hers.

Obama hinted at it in October 2010 when he said "attitudes evolve, including mine" ... though he still didn't endorse same-sex marriage.

But in 2012, Obama could have simply said, "I have no idea what Biden's talking about" -- unless, of course, Obama had been thinking the same thing.

Biden proposed three semi-autonomous regions within Iraq with a central government in Baghdad. Obama's inaction is allowing that to happen.

OK, if you believe that floating a trial balloon for you boss is taking the lead.

Biden stuck his head outside the door, nobody shot it off, so Obama then stepped outside.

Author is a Muslim radical writing for the Daily Mail -- a liberal-left rag -- DISQUALIFIED

The well-documented gaffs of Hitlery, ZERO, and Uncle Joe Biden are LEGEND and EPIC. But for now, let's address THIS particular lame hit. Sarah Palin's so-called "gaffs" were either petty BS, GOTCHA! questions, or over-exaggerated desperation in marginalizing a conservative who is TRUSTED. Seven years later, Palin STILL lives in the heads of the Left AND the reptilian GOPe, as well as their media surrogates.

3) "Rumors swill (HA! "Swill"?? The author is guzzling fermented camel urine again) that Sarah Palin is in the frame - despite 2008 disaster"

Let the wishful thinking and lies of Leftist "reporting" be corrected; FACT: The 2008 (Vice) Presidential campaign was a stunning victory for Palin personally as well as for the conservative demo.

If not for a John GOPe McCain who purposely sandbagged and pulled the plug campaign as soon as polls in Sept revealed he was actually shockingly LEADING 0buma slightly, HE and NOT 0buma would have won the election -- spearheaded by the one and only reason for his unlikely surge: SARAH PALIN

In Palin, as well as in Trump, the delusional Left -- as well as the Establishment Vichy Republicans -- are fearful of fear-less popular conservative, un-PC warriors. Like Trump and Palin. A piece like this from the Daily Mail is like a weather vane.

The worse-case scenario for the Uni-Party: The People will demonstrate a will, conviction, and monumental turn-out to REJECT the status quo of voting....FOR POLITICIANS.

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.

Instead of sh*tting ones Depends over Palin sporting a tiny reminder of solidarity with a nation battling surrounding Muzzie-Barbarianism, the question were about US government officials making American soldiers drape their uniforms in their own blood....

...OR the "interesting" question as to why American military have been ordered to bleed, sacrifice and die because of dopey RoE WHILE ordered to defend Muzzies from *other* Muzzies; THIS WHILE stealing trillions of US Taxpayers money in assets, equipment, and cash and handed it over US defense contractors, Iraq, Afghanistan, ISIS, and other Muzzie terrorist groups since 2003.

So Buck -- where's your "interesting question" as to why 0buma and YOUR gubmint have now promised the blood-thirsty Iran millions to inspect their own nuke plants? Meanwhile you and some other Lost-in-Space cadets are fascinated by a question of loyalty with respect to Palin's Israel-US pin? Funny. REAL funny.

According to Palin during an interview when she was still the Governor of Alaska and was asked why she had the flag of Israel flying in her office along with the US and the Alaska flags,she said she flew it to show her support of/solidarity with Israel. It's the "Born again" in her.

Why is democracy held in such high esteem when itâ€™s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)

Have you been Robinson Crusoe since the year 2000? Have you ANY clue what 0buma, Bush, and the US State Dept have been up to since 9/11? Naaah.

Except the gloves were taken off during Presidential patsy Romney's fake campaign. What's their excuse for launching their ICBM at Palin....NOW? It makes them look....scared. AND petty. That's a good sign.

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.

Why is democracy held in such high esteem when itâ€™s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)

You mean her campaigning that energized and brought millions of people to the polls and ALMOST shoved a reticent GOPe patsy like McCain over the top...was something YOU could have done?

You're clueless sometimes, bordering on monumental stupidity. Palin almost single-handedly won a Presidential campaign...AS A VP.

Btw -- tell us all about your Mayoral career; Governorship, and your vice-Presidency. I'm ALL ears, Yoda.

The entire Presidency of 0dinga has been scripted like a Broadway play. OR, rather like a war. To believe ANY decision the Leftist-Muz-Symp puppet has made was influenced by Biden (never mind "forced") is just comical. Biden's special brand of lunacy and cluelessness has NEVER had any legit input as a part of ANY the 'Destroy America Game Plan.' Uncle Joe himself has been a mere prop, a puppet, himself.

ZERO had ALWAYS supported homofacsism, subversiveness, and anarchy across the board. In other words, ANYTHING that destroys America's institutions, culture, and identity.

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.

Summer, 2008: John McCain secures the nomination, but polls behind Barack Obama. Strategist Steve Schmidt suggests a game changer: picking a conservative female with media savvy, unknown Alaska governor Sarah Palin, as vice president. She's an immediate hit and a quick study - the gap closes.

Then, Tina Fey's impersonation, a raft of criticism, and missing her family send Palin into a near-catatonic state: she doesn't prepare for her Katie Couric interview and bombs.

Schmidt searches for an answer: don't expect her to learn the issues, but give her a script. Palin does well in the debate with Biden; she finds her voice, goes off script, and goes rogue.

BTW - the relevant players who are portrayed in this well documented account of the 2008 campaign have said that the facts portrayed in this movie were accurate.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

It would get him the votes from the clueless rubes who still think Palin is a political genius.

There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't

If you are,do you believe that the Jews are God's Chosen People,and that Isreal belongs to them and that makes Israel more important than America?
