Trump said he would pick the best! Rex is an astounding choice. A world class businessmen, not Wall Street hedge fund gamblers! These type of leaders do deals that benefit nations and their peoples!

This is huge. Very huge!

How Horrible nominating people who are Christian and pro- America.

Why don't you fellers do something useful for a change:

Donate to FR

Show us you ain't some DU plants willing to do anything to delegitimize the best thing that has happened to us since Reagan - even as the Left goes on a full court press to screw the whole Electoral System. They thank you and those like you.
