That sound you hear is hearts breaking everywhere after Donald Trump told the Washington Examiner that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin can't attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland because it's simply too far away.

Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee who's been a huge cheerleader for Trump, was a logical choice for a convention speaker. But Trump said that she could not swing the 11-hour flight from her home in Alaska.

"She was asked," Trump told the Washington Examiner in a Thursday interview. "It's a little bit difficult because of where she is. We love Sarah. Little bit difficult because of, you know, it's a long ways away."
