I was in the Army for quite some time, but I have no idea what a “GM” is.

“The dress rehearsal on Sunday morning saw others stand in as Hillary and Bill Clinton”
I guess they decided to go after all (didn’t we hear a while back that Carter was the only living ex-prez who was going to show up?)

The “M” is for musician. Not sure what the “G” is for. Do military musicians have ranks? If so, perhaps he’s a general!

SGM Gregory S Lowery, bass

Ha! The fellow standing in for Mike Pence reminds me a bit of Jeff Dunham's "Walter".

Looking back on it, I assume it is SGM for Sergeant Major and the “S” was dropped. Army band members and vocalists start at Staff Sergeant (E-6) and can end up as a Sergeant Major (E-9) after a period of time. They are professional musicians and must audition for the position.

No not really. You’ve never seen that picture before? It has been passed around for years as being Hillary & Bill but it is neither of them though the guy does look a lot like Bill.

The stand-in for “The Donald” should see a seamstress, his pants are too long.
