Dean Russell: Well, there goes the Trump-Fiorina ticket

When Donald Trump voiced a statement regarding Carly Fiorina’s face, he really went too far and I don’t think the voting public will forgive him. We even thought if Trump got to be the leading contender for the Republican Party nomination that Fiorina would make a great running mate by getting the votes of a lot of women. But now because of that off-the-cuff statement we think his popularity will decline and he will no longer be the frontrunner. Regarding Ben Carson, he might make a good president, but if a disaster occurred, by the time he analyzed the problem to determine what to do, it might be too late!
