That's the simplest way to put it!

Only good thing is, as of right now...polls show Obama V. Palin would deff be a loss for the GOP, and I think he was generally ahead of most. Not that it means much but I am just glad people aren't so pissed at Bama they are willing to turn to the classic GOP! Dead

If the Reps want to win, Ron Paul would be the best choice. He's polling even with Bama and given the anti government sensation...well Paul pretty much made it what it is now.
Edit: Though as Anton said, all Republicans are cool with the less taxes and regulation but gay marriage? Drugs? And the military. I hope the Paul's push for drastic defense budget cuts, then see how happy the party is with him.

Who is really worse then Mom? Romney or Obama? One being GOP and the other democrat doesn't make the choice for me. Both are bad, horrendous. I think Romney would be even worse. That he might be a little more pro-market doesn't make him more pro-liberty (in fact in personal liberties he might be worse). Who then?

Trump and Palin are no bigger jokes than Romney, our current president, or any of our recent past presidents.  They are all authoritarians.  There is only one established candidate out there that gives a damn about abiding by the limited Constitutional authority granted to the President and the powers that be within the republican party will never let his candidacy happen.  It's sad to say but too many people desire to regulate how everyone else lives for Ron Paul to ever win.  I've been saying this for awhile: Mit Romney (always look for the weak, spineless candidate: republicans think they need them to appeal to "moderates") will win the republican primary ensuring a second term for Obama.


Time always wins.

It seems the US political media has been duped by these two. The NY Times seems to think that Sarah Palin will be jumping in the race.
 
Sarah Palin is dumb as a fox. I think she's knows she has no chance of winning in either race. She's taking advantage of the situation to get more attention thus making her more money. Why do you think she left her mandate in Alaska as governor half way through? Money.

Do you believe either of these two will actually throw thier name in the race? IMO, Palin and Trump are clowns. It's really hard to believe it's come down to this. What a joke. I say this with disbelief, sadness and anger. How can anyone take these two serious? Does this eradicate or lessen the seriousness of what is the position of the President of the U.S.? I'm not sure what my answer is. What do you think?

For sure. They are after attention and money. But if you think of it, most politicians are after the latter. And to get it, they need the former. These "celebrity" politicians ar only a little more evident in their ways and intentions. 

By the way I think anyone can try to be president of the US, there's no need for a "career" politician (which means one with all the dirt of politics already well-learned).

Her views represent what I hope is just the radical fringe of our society.  I honestly don't believe that she believes that she has any hopes of actually winning, but I think that the hopes are that her views will at least cause the final GOP representative to move from the center to the right on some of these radical policies.  But who knows, the people who have her ear may actually have her convinced that she can win.

Trump, no. Palin, probably.
Maybe it's because you're an outsider but I can't say I'm surprised in the least.

Clowns? Take them seriously? A disgrace of the office?
Yeah, pretty much. Old news.
