AND THEN THIS HAPPENED . . .

When I was growing up, the Presidential elections

were basically held from the first primaries in February

through Election Day in November.

Now, it's a 2 year process.

There are 17 Republican presidential candidates!

17!!!

HOLY COW!!!

The first presidential debate was held last night, August 6.

The top 10 candidates from the polls debated (well, answered questions)

 in prime time.

The remaining 7 debated before.

#1-10

1.  Donald Trump

Gazillionaire

Businessman

Non politician

(No filter on mouth)

2.  Jeb Bush

Son and brother of former presidents

5.  Dr. Ben Carson, #5

Neurosurgeon

Non Politician

The rest are governors and senators

My choice?

Dr. Ben Carson

I've read 2 of his books.

I loved how he responded to a question about the economy.

He said he believed in tithing...everyone giving 10%,

no matter how much you make!!!
He said, "God got it right!"

I've been saying that for YEARS!!!
(And let's put God back into the government, 
no matter who it offends!)
Every US President, when taking the oath of office,
said these 4 words at the end:
SO HELP ME GOD!!!

  

#11-17

IT'S GOING TO BE A 

LOOOOOOOONG

16 MONTHS!!!
