That Sarah Palin has raised her children to be such good models for all of us to follow. [They are just the best!](http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/track-palin-arrested-domestic-violence) Great American values, like assaulting a female, and waving a firearm around while drunk. Fantastic. ---

If there ever was a match made in…well, not heaven, but they are a pretty good fit together. I only hope Trump is stupid enough to pick her if he wins the nomination. “Its a woman, we’re running against Clinton, what could possibly go wrong?” ---

Og have mercy, it’s like every single thing that would normally knock someone flat out of the race happens to him, to no ill effect. But, oh dear, you just know, Larry Flynt’s now gonna feel compelled to call up Lisa Ann and produce another sequel to _Who’s Nailin’ Palin_ with some fat-faced dude in a red fright wig… ---

I’m almost to the point where I’m ready tobegin campaigning for a Trump/Palin ticket. The next 10 months are going to be hilarious enough. Can you imagine President Trump and Vice President Palin? If it were a sit-com pitch, it’d be laughed out of the room. Comedy gold, Jerry. Gold! ---

> [@JRDelirious](#): > > Og have mercy, it’s like every single thing that would normally knock someone flat out of the race happens to him, to no ill effect. There was a riff on that in last week’s New Yorker: he’s actually been trying to get out of the race since last summer, but he can’t be seen to back out, which would be a sign of weakness, he has to be \*forced \*out. But every time he does something calculated to outrage the public, his approval rating goes up. ---

This is great - to see Cruz squirm like the worm he is. I am starting to be entertained by Trump. What’s next in his campaign playbook? Get Romney’s endorsement? Trump is in it to win it (even if he does not really want the job). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shes-back-palin-endorses-trump/743633.md?page=2)
