Embarrassing! Guess Which Women Republicans Want To Put On The 10-Dollar Bill?
During last Wednesday night’s CNN Republican Presidential Debate, moderator Jake Tapper gave the ultimate softball question:
What woman would you put on the 10-dollar bill?
What woman would you put on the 10-dollar bill?

1. Ben Carson & Mike Huckabee & Donald Trump nominated family members.
Look, there’s no doubt these men love the women they proposed: Ben Carson, his mother, Mike Huckabee, his wife, and Donald Trump, his daughter. And those three women are probably lovely; Ben Carson’s mother sounds particularly fearsome (single teenage mother who managed to raise a future neurosurgeon — that’s impressive).
But let’s state the obvious, shall we? George Washington is not on the dollar for his family connections. Abraham Lincoln graces our pennies and fives because he ended slavery, not because his child thought he was a strong father.

It's in the article. 
No one could think of a name that might not have a Dem
connection or embarrass them in some other way.
And I thought Dumbya was a clueless idiot.
