Given GOP choices, glad he's a Democrat

I’m glad I’m not a Republican, considering the three top contenders for the 2016 Presidential nomination.

You have, Donald Trump, who’s “ideas” have zero possibility of coming to fruition. Then, Ben Carson, an accomplished surgeon, with no political track record, and who hates Muslims. And finally, Carly Fiorina, a liar, talking about seeing “Citizen’s United,” selling baby parts, and a business failure who was kicked out of Hewett Packard.

Maybe they will get some sense before next year.

I’m glad I’m a Democrat.
