Vice-President Sarah Palin?
Re: Palin Says ‘ You Betcha’ To Trump As President, Jan. 20.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate? Would that not be the ultimate right-wing ticket? I can just see Palin trying to justify this to Trump, and his handlers thinking it would be a great way to make him look more moderate come election time.

Former U. S. president Ronald Reagan was elected 1981, following the soft policies of Jimmy Carter. Many were alarmed at the time about his rhetoric against the Soviet Union, but during his term, he proved to be very successful at turning the U. S. economy around, strengthening the military and nudging the U.S.S.R. towards collapse.
Similarly, while there is a lot of bluster in Donald Trump’s speeches, when in office, he will tone down his policies and be restrained by the from carrying out some of his proposals by the constitution. But the Islamists, who are committing terrorist acts around the world, will be restrained as well, and that will make it all worthwhile.

It would be interesting to see if the U. K. would ban Donald Trump from entering the little country if he becomes president of the United States in 2017. Not that I can see that ever happening, but I would still love to see the reaction.
Despite all his bluster and bluntness, Trump is a far better option for America than team Hillary, in my opinion. It’s just a pity that Trump does not support Jerusalem as Israel’s eternal capital, but I guess you can’t have everything.
