‘Choose me’: Sarah Palin says she’s ‘as vetted as anybody in the country’ for Trump’s VP

[IDemo]

Source: Raw Story

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Sunday said that she is ready to serve as Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate, but she worried about being a “burden” to the presumptive nominee.

“I think I’m pretty much as vetted as anybody in the country could be vetted,” Palin told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “I think there are so many other great people out there in American that could serve in this position.”

“I think if somebody wanted to choose me, they already know who I am, what I stand for,” she added. “They wouldn’t be in for any surprises.”

But Palin acknowledged that she also came with baggage.

1. Pictured: Sarah Palin, vetted:

[uncle ray]

67. she must have failed the vetting process.

because that's a Viper.

[CoffeeCat]

77. Well...she is a snake (nt)

[USMaid]

101. She's delusional

She is so delusional. He and Trump make the perfect pair.

[keithbvadu2]

2. Palin vs Christie

[mehneh]

3. gross n/t

[Buzz Clik]

4. She will bring to Trump the same inevitability that Fiorina brought to Cruz.

[IDemo]

6. 'inevitability' would be a kind way of putting it

[L. Coyote]

5. One great reason Trump should choose Palin, well two actually. 1.) They both speak Word Salad,

it is important that they understand each other,
and 2.) she's a proven loser at running for V-P.

[Cirque du So-What]

10. It would require not one but three translators

in order for those two to communicate.

[NewJeffCT]

102. see that

they don't call them rich folks "job creators" for nothing - 3 translators, all paid with the new Trump minimum wage of 0.

[IDemo]

12. I've said before of her and it applies to him as well:

She speaks like a See N' Say with a virus.

[Herman4747]

14. Exactly! She would help The Donald lose by an even wider margin. nt

[Marie Marie]

43. Can I add a third?

They are both extreme Narcissists.

[L. Coyote]

45. Exactly, so they will get along perfectly.

NOT!

[Zambero]

82. Is there a Google translator for that one?

Something that will decipher the garbage-in-garbage-out phrases that eminate from these two?

[ck4829]

7. Ticket of 'Reality TV show President / Jerry Springer show Vice President'

K&R.

[mwooldri]

88. Except Jerry Springer is a Democrat.

I don't think Trump/Springer would ever... ever happen.

[FlaGranny]

96. Springer

actually makes sense when he speaks, so I don't think he is compatible.

[ck4829]

98. I don't mean Springer himself

[doc03]

8. OMG n/t

[djean111]

9. Do some candidates even fucking understand that, if they "have been vetted" - this is the reason

they did not get elected the first time? That having already been vetted doesn't make what we found out smell any better?

Honestly, the logic escapes me. Or them. Or both of us.

[Crowman1979]

11. YES PLEASE! DO IT TRUMPY!

I know some of you are saying no. But let's not dissuade the clown-car known as the Rethuglican party from driving over a cliff and going up in flames.

I for one will sit back and enjoy the FAIL if Palin is the VP choice for Drumpf--Which is what everyone should hope for--we quit trying to correct these bastards, and let them fuck up big time.

[7962]

13. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

And its not even April 1st

[packman]

15. Comedy writers in all the Political talk shows

are having an easy week. The stuff is writing itself.

[LiberalEsto]

16. Trump Frump?

At least we have the consolation of knowing she will quit after a few months.

[hopeforchange2008]

17. How horrifying.

[Igel]

18. Just when you thought American politics could get no more surreal ...

...

Yes. I'm speechless.

[mdbl]

93. blame the asses that pay sarah palin

anyone that would give an imbecile like that money to speak is off the deep end.

[Squinch]

19. It would be horrible to watch, but it would make things easier for us.

[hopeforchange2008]

41. Don't underestimate the situation

I live in Maine and a lot of us couldn't imagine that Paul Lepage would ever be elected - let alone twice!

[Squinch]

47. No, I don't. I THINK this will go our way, but the alternative is too horrible not to work my

ass off for it. I think your biggest mistake would be to take anything for granted.

[hopeforchange2008]

53. Agreed. The Maine situation needs to be a cautionary tale.

In each election, the democrats put forth candidates that didn't inspire, and it left them very vulnerable.

[Squinch]

61. I meant to say OUR biggest mistake! Yes. We would be wise to learn that lesson.

[crim son]

100. Amen.

I'm still in shock.

[MoonchildCA]

20. Perfect!

"You're fired!"
"I quit!"

[Sweet Freedom]

35. Ha!

[Marie Marie]

44. ...

[dembotoz]

21. at first i thought that would be really stupid, but trump has proven to be hard to predict

they are both tv ready
she does seem to do well with the true nutjobs.
so a super conservative icon like sarah
plue a flavor of the day who knows what candidate like trump

why not

[elljay]

97. It would be a very smart pick, actually

Trump is savvy enough to know that the Republican establishment hates him and would like to get rid of him. If his VP were someone acceptable to them (Kasich, Rubio, etc.) the Republicans would be happy to file articles of impeachment the first time The Donald did something stupid (which probably wouldn't take long). With expected Democratic support, they would then get their establishment president. If Palin were VP, however, NO ONE would try to remove Trump because the alternative, hard as that is to believe, is so much worse. Trump would be wise to pick a veep who is crazier than he is.

[getagrip_already]

22. perfect - an apparent substance abuser and a certain psychopath......

Walk into a bar.....

Feel free to finish it.

[ejbr]

23. The baggage to which she refers

is the packed suitcases she brings for a quick exit if the job is too tough

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

24. He'll choose one of the guys (not woman) who ran against him in the primaries

because, you know, "they all love me."

[cstanleytech]

25. So, choose a guy who files bankruptcy after bankruptcy and has

more ex wives than I care to count as President with a VP who does even stay for a full term and cannot even think of a magazine or newspaper she reads in an interview? Sure why not after all what's the worst that can go wrong?

[Gregorian]

26. She drives a Corvette. She thinks she's vetted.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

46. Here's an Alaskan Corvette:

[Metric System]

27. Going into the general Democrats need to emphasize that Palin is a likely Trump cabinet pick.

[CanonRay]

28. I think she's perfect for his running mate.

Go for it Donald! Today I learned that "vetted" is a synonym for "brainless".

[caraher]

29. First you laugh...

then the realization sets in: Palin wouldn't be a terrible pick. If you're a potential Trump voter you're not looking establishment cred or even sanity. Picking a woman will give Trump a way of taking the edge off his misogyny for some voters. Fiorina bet on the wrong horse, while Palin went for Trump early.

If America goes for a Trump/Palin ticket, better to know we're beyond salvation in November than to drag out the death of US democracy any longer.

[JBoy]

30. She can see Trump's next wife from her house. n/t

[iandhr]

31. Paging Tina Fey Paging Tina Fey

[lastlib]

32. Insurance against assassination?

Nobody would want that crazy loon anywhere NEAR the White House.

Nobody (sane) would want EITHER of those crazy loons near the White House.

[jmowreader]

62. You're thinking of a Dan Quayle Insurance Policy?

[C Moon]

33. Hopefully Trump is the pinnacle of this Tea Party bull shit...

and we'll see less and less of this sociopath.
What an idiot McCain was (is).

[weknowvino2]

34. She's Perky

[nolabear]

36. I've seen his face when she's speaking. He's trying not to kill her outright.

You know how you think owning a yappy little dog would be really cute and get you a lot of attention and then they yap and yap and yap and yap and yap and...

[Gman]

37. That's very true

And that's why she'll never get picked again. She'd be the first one fired on The Apprentice. However, she'd never even make it onto the show. OTOH, Dennis Rodman did...

[Initech]

38. And we all know how well that worked last time didn't it?

[Ferretherder]

39. If, dog forbid, 'tiny paws' DOES choose this mental-train wreck...

...as a running mate and 'murka's brain-dead enough to elect them, we will deserve, at long last, to take our rightful place on the world stage as this modern day's first planet-wide reality TV nation...all the world can look on in utter, flabbergasted wonder, as we slowly and agonizingly self-destruct for the pity and entertainment of all.

...flying spaghetti monster preserve us!

[3catwoman3]

40. Our 4 cats have been "vetted" many times.

I'd rather have one of them as VP than Palin.

[tavernier]

42. The funny part

is that she really doesn't know that she's a national joke!

[Sunlei]

48. Maybe Palin will *finally* let us know who Firebombed her Church right after her last exorcism?

Mrs. Trump will never let a Palin female near 'her man'.

[braddy]

49. In 1999 and early 2015, Trump's choice for his veep was a firm, 'Oprah'.

Trump in 2015.
""I think Oprah would be great. I'd love to have Oprah," Trump told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "I think we'd win easily, actually."


Trump in 1999.
"Trump said others he would consider as possible Cabinet members include Rep. Charles Rangel (D-New York) as secretary of housing and urban development and retired Gen. Colin Powell as secretary of state.

As for possible choices for treasury secretary or vice president, Trump mentioned General Electric head Jack Welch. "He's ... probably the greatest corporate leader in the history of a major company," Trump said. "Somebody like that would be absolutely incredible."

Trump also mentioned talk show host Oprah Winfrey again as a possible running mate, even though Winfrey has said she is not interested."

[Yavin4]

50. She would be impeachment insurance.

So, she has that going for her.

[edbermac]

51. Michael Palin would be a better choice than Caribou Barbie.

And he's better looking in drag than her.

[jmowreader]

63. Born in England. Not eligible.

[Lil Missy]

52. Oh yes, Donald, please do pick the Wasilla Hillbilly.

[tabasco]

54. Vetted and certified dumbass extraordinaire

So she's part right.

[merrily]

55. She's been vetted and found to be a dumbass nutter. Go for it, Donnie.

[trueblue2007]

56. ha ha ha Palin is Horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible!!! Put her in Rump, I dare you

[oberliner]

58. Dumb and Dumber?

That would be perfect.

[Liberal_in_LA]

59. Holy moly. Its not like she spent the last 8 years behaving like a stateswoman

[TexasBushwhacker]

65. She didn't even finish her one term as governor of AK

I've always thought we dodged a bullet by not electing her and McCain, but the more she opens her mouth, the more I say "WHEW".

[Liberal_in_LA]

70. Yep

[truebluegreen]

60. Being vetted in one thing, passing muster is another.

Princess DumbAss of the Northwoods needs to add to her lexicon.

[ErikJ]

64. Folksy charm

If u can understand the language. lol.

[fred v]

66. She's also as Vapid as a Kardashian

On second thought, maybe I'm being unfair to the Kardashians!

[GOPblows431]

68. Oh God, No!

We had enough of Palin's nonsense back in 2008. We would really appreciate it if she would just go away.

[jmowreader]

71. I can just imagine the first question The Lamestream Press asks The Donald

"Mr. Trump, you did know about the Thrilla in Wasilla before you made Governor Palin your running mate, right?"

[Alkene]

72. Comedy gold. n/t

[Javaman]

74. oh failin quitter, vetted doesn't mean approved. nt

[yellowcanine]

75. Oh please, please let this happen.

It has a certain logic, that is for sure.

[silvershadow]

76. Palin- making Hillary seem palatable. nt

[underpants]

78. She's behind TACO BOWL on the list

[Initech]

80. Trump / Taco Bowl 2016

[mysuzuki2]

79. She is 100% correct.

We all know exactly who and what she is.

[Zambero]

81. Palin is vetted alright

The term "Going Rogue" did not originate from Palin. Her campaign staff did the honors with that one. They quickly concluded that she was not up to the job, was politically ignorant and completely bored with policy details, and resorted to throwing temper tantrums when she wasn't going to get her way. Yes, much is already known about Saran Palin.

[ROFF]

83. She would

raise the average IQ of the ticket.

[truthisfreedom]

84. But but but... Carly Fiorina!

[link:|

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

85. She IS completely vetted....

....and found to be unfit as a fucking human being, nevermind a VEEP.

[sofa king]

86. Please, Saint Elvis, PLEASE!

It's the poop-topping that goes perfectly with the rancid ice cream.

Make this happen, God, and I promise I'll try to stop whacking off for, like, at least a day.

[IronLionZion]

87. Do it Trump!

Everybody says you won't so you have to prove them wrong!

[rpannier]

89. Vetted Yes

Liked No

[Blasphemer]

90. If he does pick her, we'll know for sure this entire thing has been a reality show stunt... nt

[Bob41213]

91. Yuck.

[raven mad]

92. I am trying SO HARD not to absolutely fall out of my chair laughing...........

What a Grand Old Pair they would make................. The buffoon and the brain dead on one ticket.

[fullautohotdog]

95. Oh, she's vetted.

Qualified?



Vetted? Yeah. We know all about her. So she's not actually wrong...

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

103. For science!

Do it for the science.

I want to see what happens to the fabric of the space-time continuum when one supermassive black hole of narcissism attempts to devour the other supermassive black hole of narcissism.

I'm sure someone will get a thesis out of it.

[Mary Mac]

104. that's all we need: two loose cannons
