They are all horrible choices in my opinion. I don't know much about Jim but he has views along with Mike and Bobby that I don't agree with. Jindal is the worst governor we have had since I don't know when lol
Thats a tough choice but I would have to go for the Pastor Mike Huckabee
It is tight between the three
Yes it sure is
Oh, only just seen this, THANK YOU :)
