Rosa Parks won the straw poll of the 11 Republican presidential candidates when they were asked in Wednesday’s debate which woman should go on the $10 bill.
...
Rand Paul: Susan B. Anthony,
Mike Huckabee: My wife,
Marco Rubio: Rosa Parks,
Ted Cruz: Keep Hamilton. Put Rosa Parks on the $20,
Ben Carson: My mother,
Donald Trump: My daughter, Ivanka, or Rosa Parks,
Jeb Bush: Margaret Thatcher,
Scott Walker: Clara Barton,
Carly Fiorina: Don’t change it,
John Kasich: Mother Theresa,
Chris Christie: Abigail Adams

From some of the other answers, you get the distinct view that changing the $10 Currency note is a gimmick and fodder to claim superiority in the Democrat designed "War on Women!" Political gamesmanship or is that gamesWOmanship?
American women have been liberated in the U.S. for at least the past hundred years, and this is the best anyone can come up with?
What a nonsensical question to ask.
So, Caitlyn should go on the $2 bill? What a stupid question!!!
Margaret Thatcher????
BWahahahahahahahaaahahahaaaaaaaa
Thatcher, Mother Teresa, and mom. 3 of the stupidest answers.
Someone should have said that they would put Hillary on the three-dollar bill.
As a Hobart grad I favor Elizabeth Blackwell.
Hopefully Hillary will get the same question at their debate and be stupid enough to name Margaret Sanger
Margaret Thatcher? Admirable woman, but this ain't the "colonies" anymore, Jeb.
Mother Theresa? smh
To be honest, before any of the named women are put on the $10, I think we should "promote" Jefferson from the $2 bill.
What about Claudette Colvin who refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white person before Rosa Parks and was arrested? We don’t hear about her because as a pregnant 15 year old, she didn’t fit the profile the “movement” was looking for.

Surely there’s a negro, female, homosexual (LGBTXYZ) muslim to use... I’d hate to have every pander group get their own bill change.
Carly gave the only acceptable answer.
Instead of continuing to pander to minorities, put someone on it that has actually done something for the ENTIRE COUNTRY - Ronald Wilson Reagan
With an $18 Trillion dollar debt, there are far more pressing financial issues than who is on the Ten, which no one sees anymore anyway because they use credit or debit cards, not cash.
I would’ve said Jackie Kennedy.
If asked, I would’ve said “here’s why”:
1. She harks back to when democrats loved America and Western Civilization.
2. She evokes strong feelings of empathy in America.
3. She, in one fell-swoop, represents the longsuffering of women whose liberal husbands were monumental philanderers — FDR, JFK, MLK, and BillyJeff.
Now, that said, I agree with Carly, who refused the bait.
“Carly gave the only acceptable answer.”
For years a symbolic female - Lady Liberty - appeared on US coins. Nineteenth and early 20th century US coins had beautiful designs and celebrated the concept of freedom on which the country was founded.
Instead of politicizing the currency and coins, perhaps we should return to the representation of lady liberty on coins and currency instead of showing real people. If the country truly believes in all men being equal, we should not be placing some individuals, living or dead, above others.
None of the listed women have done anything as significant as even 10% of what Alexander Hamilton did.
We don't need affirmative action currency. If we are just going to make up accomplishments, they might as well put "Supergirl" on the $10.00 bill.
It would be more representative of the cartoon nature of what this country has become.
And once more, Jeb is an idiot spouting Jebberish.
Thatcher was a subject of the United Kingdom, moron.
Fiorina wins this question
Bush and Kasich lose
