Good, she can talk about how she reads "all" of the newspapers and magazines and he can talk about how he likes all of the bible verses.

I pray to the sweet baby Jesus that someone puts this whole thing up on YouTube because I don't think I'm going to be able to access it.

Is it worth it if I can't drink?

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has already said that he isn't against putting former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in an official role in his administration should he make it to the White House, and during an interview on Friday night, it seemed as if the pair's mutual admiration for one another hit an all-time high.

Palin, who was interviewing the businessman for On Point on the One America News Network, started out the segment by describing fans of the former Apprentice star as "Trumpeters" or "Trumpservatives" and praised him saying, "since the day he made the sacrifice to hit the campaign trail, voters crave the anti-status quo politician."

Then, as he appeared from inside New York's Trump Tower, the pair kicked off the 10-minute interview by discussing the economy and how to fix the tax code.

They moved on to talking about veterans (who Palin said have "respect for a truth-talker" like Trump). "One of the reasons I've always liked you so much, you and your family, you have that great connection [with veterans]," Trump countered.

Palin followed up by asking Trump about "idiots in the press" who she said come at Conservatives with "gotcha questions," before bringing up Trump's run-in earlier this week with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, who she described as a "radical activist."

"Where'd you get your guts for that kind of necessary confrontation?" Palin asked with a smile.

The conversation then took an interesting turn as the pair discussed religion. Palin asked Trump how he felt about reporters who ask Conservatives what their favorite Bible passage is.

"I love the Bible," said Trump, who described his own best-seller The Art of the Deal as his second favorite book after the Scriptures. "That's a very personal thing I don't like giving that out to people you hardly know," he said of his favorite Bible passage.

Trump then told Palin that he is "having a lot of fun" on the campaign trail, and ended the interview by throwing some praise back at Palin. "You are a terrific person," he told the former vice presidential candidate.

I like this liberal, "gotcha" article better. Much less pandering (aka asskissing) to the beast that is Trumpalin

Palin Interviews Trump—Bores Everybody

On her fledgling, and embarrassingly low-tech, network, Sarah Palin interviewed Donald Trump, and managed a feat no journalist has yet. She made it boring.

As in-focus civilians flowed up the Trump Tower taking selfies in the background, an inexplicably out-of-focus Donald Trump sought to explain his rising poll numbers on Sarah Palin's janky new program on an unknown right-wing news network.

"We're bringing back—I use the term again, (as) it hasn't been used in a long time—the silent majority," he told Palin at the tail-end of her 10 p.m. newscast on Friday night, On Point with Sarah Palin. "There's a tremendous group of people out there that just want to see this country be great again."

Of course, Donald Trump appeared once again unaware that the Silent Majority most popularly referred to those Americans who supported the Vietnam War, often viewed as one of the greatest quagmires of our time.

But Palin, herself, full of platitudes on a network too new or broken to sell ad space (fear not, One America News ran pseudo-PSAs to break up the interview segments instead) did not call him out on it. Instead, the former Republican vice presidential nominee-cum-wider reach public access news anchor offered hard-hitting questions such as this:

"We appreciate your battles here."

"You're crushing it in the polls."

"(Talk about) the respect (veterans) have for a truth talker, as opposed to getting punched in the nose in the last seven years under Obama."

To be clear, this was a set-'em-up, knock-'em-down campaign speech and not an interview—one in which Sarah Palin largely dominated and made Donald Trump seem like a level-headed centrist by comparison.

Palin preceded Trump's interview with other ones featuring Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz—both lagging and pixelated on Skype—and, for some reason, Orrin Hatch. In Ted Cruz's interview, he called Planned Parenthood "a criminal enterprise" that he would prosecute if he took office due to viral videos he believed implicated the organization in some kind of baby-parts-for-cash sting. He, of course, ignored today's revelations from the New York Times that said those same videos were heavily doctored all along.

Then, Palin greeted Donald Trump, asking him to set the record straight because "I don't think we're getting the truth out of The White House," just like she was taught in journalism school. (Journalism, after all, was the emphasis on her bachelor's degree diploma, which she earned over five years from four different colleges.)

Then came the random haymaker. Behold:

"You're seeing some idiots in the press. They're misrepresenting your exchange with some political activists—the father of the Clinton staffer, Univision's Jorge Ramos, and you schooled that radical activist," she said of Ramos, who has won eight Emmy Awards for excellence in journalism.

"And it was the right thing to do because I don't think he's going to pull that again. Where'd you get your guts for that radical confrontation?" she asked.

Of course, when Jorge Ramos was forced out of the Trump's interview room earlier this week, he was immediately told to "get out of my country" by a Trump supporter. When the supporter was rebuffed by Ramos—who told him he was, in fact, a U.S. citizen—the supporter replied with, "Well, whatever."

But that's not the point! The point is the courage!

"Actually, the press—they agreed with what I did," says Trump, for some reason not taking the outrage bait.

So Palin tried again.

"You get hit with these gotchas, like 'What's your favorite Bible verse?'" said Palin.

This week, after saying his favorite book was The Bible, Donald Trump didn't or couldn't name a verse from it when asked by a reporter for his go-to.

"I'm like, 'Do they ask Hillary that?'" Palin asked.

Trump has a very reasonable explanation.

"You saw that. I love The Bible," he says. "'What's your favorite verse?' That's a very personal thing. I don't like giving that out. I love The Bible."

Then, in the same breath, Trump alerted Palin as to how The Bible has helped him, a Presbyterian.

"In the last poll, I won everything including the Evangelicals," he says. "I'm big with the Evangelicals."

The church in which Trump claims to be an active member has since contradicted him.

[mominatrix]

It was pretty sad.

I gotta say, though, that I was fascinated by the "middle class" stuff. The Donald was sounding just a little like Bernie... And pandering to evangelicals?

He wants this. Enough to turn to bullshit.

That's scary.

[mominatrix]

It'll break your brain.

I want special guest Tina Fey in on this one. Poor Tina will never get away from her Sarah Palin. So spot on.

[saz]

Wow I am just watching it. Has she always been like that? I feel like she seems even dumber than ever before.

[jeaniebueller]

I have noticed that the thing about Trump is that he will basically let anyone interview him. He calls into MSNBC all the time, he is doing this clown Palin interview, he is definitely accessible. Which is even scarier.
