Sarah Palin appeared on the “Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Show,” where she joked about a potential 2016 bid with Donald Trump as her running mate.

“How much do you think Lorne Michaels would pay me if I were to run in 2016?” Palin asked comedian Jerry Seinfeld during a question and answer session.

“I don’t think there’s a number too big,” Seinfeld responded.

Palin then asked, “What if I were to choose Donald Trump as my running mate?”

“Sarah, you’re teasing us. That’s not nice,” Seinfeld said.

Palin appeared on “Saturday Night Live” during her vice presidential bid 2008 alongside her doppelganger, Tina Fey.

Trump has made a habit of flirting with running for president. The real estate mogul was recently booked as the keynote speaker at the Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner in Pottawattamie County, Iowa.

Watch the clip via “Saturday Night Live.” Palin chimes in at the 6:15 mark.

    I appreciated that Jerry Seinfeld referred to her as “Sarah” and not “Governor” as the NBC talking heads did in the warm-up show.

  4. Perhaps it has something to do with quantum time dilation and Sarah’s grifting at warp speed.

  5. A case in which a 50 electorat vote sweep is a near certainty.
