We need a president who is focused on defeating every single ISIS terrorist and protecting the homeland, which should be the first priority.

President Obama will not be able to contain himself, and he will go after Mr. Trump every single chance he gets once Obama is out of office.

It seems to me that President Carter has earned his place as if not the worst president in history, the worst president of the 20th Century.

I would not ask anyone to vote for me based on my last name. I am certainly not campaigning to be president because my last name is Clinton.
