Lil' Wayne Gonna Do Christina Milian Like His Other Baby Mamas!
Tha Carter went Rogue |
The Young Money leader signed, sealed and delivered another confirmed romance. His newest act to the label is an old act from the Def Jam days. And it's a big huge mess. Because his baby mama and a long time collaborator have both express shock to it.
Christina Milian, is a
They were spotted at the boxing dud of the year. And it gave the junk food media something to talk about.
When are they getting married?
Is she pregnant?
Did you know that she is dating Nivea's baby daddy?
Nivea and The Dream aren't keen on this. They both confirmed that they're hating on it. Because of the family situation. The Dream married Nivea and had children with her. They broke up and Nivea got with Weezy for a minute. Nivea would give birth to his fourth child. The Dream would later marry Christina Milian and they had a child together. She and him broke up and now she's dating Weezy.
Weezy and Dream are the fathers of her children.
His previous children come from Lauren London, Sarah Vivian and his ex-wife Antonia Wright (known as Toya).
Weezy F. Baby is feuding with Cash Money Records after his album Tha Carter V got put in the garbage disposal. He's threatening a lawsuit over his publishing and royalties.
Ironic that Lil' Wayne is dating rap producer The-Dream's former baby mamas. He knocked Christina Milian and Nivea up. The Dream has two with Nivea and one with Milian.
Wayne knocked Nivea up and will likely knock Milian up. Wayne has four children.
So what's your take on Lil' Wayne dating Christina Milian?

The Iranian Deal Scares The Inept Congress!
Insurgent Tom Cotton (R-AR) gets some say in the Iran deal. |
The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution that requires their insight into the Six Party talk deal. This is a victory for the insurgent Tom Cotton (R-AR).
USA Today reports that the bill pass unanimously. President Barack Obama acknowledged that this bill will be signed into law if Congress makes it "clean". Clean meaning no unnecessary resolutions or requirements to this.
The inept lawmakers in Congress are so scared of the big bad Iran.
Iran is hoping to get international sanctions lifted. They are willing to let the UN and Six World powers inspect their facilities and regulate their usage of nuclear fuel.
Congressional Republicans are extremely scared that this will give Iran a chance to develop a nuclear weapon and use it against the 51st state of Israel.
"The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act offers the best chance for our constituents, through the Congress they elect, to weigh in on the White House's negotiations with Iran," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)., said before the vote to end debate on the bill. "And make no mistake, they need to have that opportunity."
The bill still must be approved by the House, where Speaker John Boehner, (R-OH), said he will urge its passage.
Secretary of State John Kerry is working on the peace deal. |
Negotiations on the deal between Iran, the USA and five other nations are scheduled to continue in Austria next week. Diplomats are trying to reach a final agreement by June 30 on a deal aimed at stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
The legislation would prevent Obama from lifting congressionally mandated sanctions against Iran for at least 30 days to give lawmakers a chance to weigh in on the deal.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) worked on a deal that satisfies the White House and chicken shit lawmakers who wanted to fuck the deal up. |
But unfortunately the bigots here and in Iran are adamant about not seeing this deal go through.
The junk food media makes us fear the unknown. Again, the Republicans, the Democrats and the media wants us to believe that Iran is evil.
Iran is a country with 81 million people. You can't tell me that the population of that country is willing to bomb the United States. That's ridiculous.
Another thing, if Israel has a right to defend itself, why would it try to engage us in this?
Iran does have right to defend itself too.
President Barack Obama is warning Congress to not fuck up the deal. Vice President Joe Biden worked behind the scenes to calm the tension between Republicans and the White House. |
You see that Israel is the country in the center of this debate. The Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a piece of shit. The prime minister is plotting behind the scenes to ruin the deal.
He is wooing Congress into believing that Iran is within a few ________ of creating a nuclear weapon. Giving the constant threats from Netanyahu, many have figured that it's true only because he's said it.
Stallmigo Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Cotton were trying to at the verge of getting the bill scrapped.
They tried to insert a piece that requires Iranian leaders to recognize Israel as the Jewish state. They tried to force a vote on amendments to require Iran to publicly support Israel's right to exist and end its nuclear program entirely as part of any final deal. Democrats and some Republicans objected to the amendments, saying they were designed to derail a deal. McConnell moved Tuesday to end the stalemate by setting a vote on Thursday to end debate on the bill. That vote was followed by final passage.
So this clean bill will head to the House and it if passes, the president will sign it into law.
In the beginning the president threatened a veto on it. But it seems like the president is on board with it. Vice President Joe Biden managed to get Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) to work on a bipartisan deal that benefits the Congress while not fucking up the entire deal.
Dorian Johnson Spent A Night In The County After He Resisted Arrest!
Key witness in Michael Brown shooting got a night in the county after disorderly conduct with the law. |
Damn, not a great day to be Dorian Johnson. Just a few days after filing a federal lawsuit against the city of Ferguson and the former cop Darren Wilson, the friend of Michael Brown got his ass back in lock up again.
Giving himself another reason to why the racist right attacks him.
Once a thug......
Okay, here's what happened. According to the junk food media, he was resisting arrest and having possession of drugs. An arresting officer was trying grab his brother after a protest. Johnson was trying to film and shout out the cops. The cops decided that Johnson was too much of a burden so they put the clappers on him. The cops said that he was pretty damn feisty.
The arrest came on the same day that an attorney announced Johnson is suing the city of Ferguson, its former police chief and former officer Darren Wilson. In the lawsuit, Johnson claims he suffered psychological scars and emotional distress on the day that Wilson stopped him and Brown, CNN affiliates KTVI and KPLR reported. He is seeking at least $25,000 in damages and is also asking for an injunction to stop what he calls discriminatory police practices in Ferguson, KTVI and KPLR said.
MSNBC reports that Dorian Johnson is charged with interfering with an arrest, a misdemeanor.
His brother Demonte Johnson is charged with resisting arrest and third-degree assault on a police officer, both misdemeanors. Requests for comment from Dorian Johnson’s attorneys were not immediately returned Thursday.
Johnson's arrest is automatic bait for the racist right. Even though it's minor criminal acts, to the racist right, it's like he robbed a bank and took hostages.
May Day, May Day!
Barack for the win... |
The Department of Labor releases the jobs report for the month of April. The job rate is now 5.4%.
The jobs numbers for the month were good. For the month of April, 223,000 jobs.
Not bad at all.
With that being said, who's going to be the first one to complain about the numbers being bad?
I mean the president managed to bring over 7.9 million jobs. The economy is rebounding and the conservatives will continue to complain about it. No matter what President Barack Obama does, they'll find some reason to hate on it.
There's six clowns running for the Republican nomination. Which one will dismiss this as good news?
The U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in April, hewing close to expectations from economists, but the numbers fell short of a threshold that forecasters believe would signal an early rise in interest rates.
The unemployment rate dipped to 5.4 percent, according to data released by the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It is a moderately strong showing following on March's weak report of 126,000 new jobs, but the jobs figures for that month were revised downward to just 85,000. February's numbers were revised slightly up from 264,000 to 266,000.
Continuing to stall policies, nominees and proposals. The Republican majority and it's two inept leaders have made the president's second term more contentious. |
The results were roughly in line with forecasts of between of 222,000 to 228,000 new jobs. As MarketWatch suggested ahead of the Labor Department's release "anything less than a 200,000 increase in April would be viewed as another letdown."
The New York Times added: "A strong number — a jump in payrolls by more than 300,000, for example — could rekindle speculation about when the Federal Reserve will take its long-awaited first step in raising short-term interest rates, which have been near zero since the onset of the financial crisis in late 2008."
The Associated Press says home sales staged a big rebound in March and restaurants, retailers and banks grew at a faster pace in April than in the previous month, according to the Institute for Supply Management.
Sectors that grew the most include professional and business services (+62,000), health care (+45,000). Mining and oil and gas construction both lost jobs.

Fox Cancels The Mindy Project!
My Tuesday nights are going to be quite different knowing that one of the programs I've watched for three seasons is being axed.
It was critically acclaimed. It was a cult favorite and yet it was low rated.
Fox decides to put an end The Mindy Project.
Mindy Kaling's comedy was put on the watch for years. Fox's cancellation of the show puts the usual void that fans have to paint in their heads.
What will happen now that.....you know!
It left fans wondering what's going to happen now that Mindy and Danny are expecting to be parents. The cliffhanger was Danny introducing himself to Mindy's parents after he failed to see them off.
It managed to pull into syndication so it fulfilled its requirements.
With that being said the many cameos appearances.
Comedy starring Mindy Kaling was cancelled. |
While it's sad that a critically acclaimed program is put on ice, the fact that makes it so great was the fact that an Indian-American writer, producer, comedian had the opportunity to create it.
Maybe there's a possibility that Fox may sell off the show to Hulu. It's up in the air......!
It's also reported that Cristela is out. ABC canceled the freshman sitcom. Cristela Alanzo created, wrote and directed the sitcom. They folks over at ABC put her sitcom on the dead spot (Friday).
Cristela is the first Latina to create a sitcom for a major American network.

Allergic To Nuts!
A former beauty model becomes an extremist. Her anti-Islamic rants put her in the forefront of an assassination attempt. |
Free speech at your own peril. The defiant Pam Geller once again appears on the conservative agitator programs to bitch and whine about her life being threatened by these radicals Muslims.
She said that it's not her fault for what transpired. The controversial draw Mohammad in cartoon was a reckless stunt created by her. She did it in order to inspire extremists to attack her.
Now she has a hit on her head along with Steve Emerson, Robert Spencer, Geert Wilder and World Nut Daily. Might as well add that annoying conservative agitator on the list too. He's been talking out the ass for sometime about "radical Islam".
The Islamic State claims responsibility for the failed attack. Nadir Soofi and Elton Simpson were inspired by the words of the late Anwar al-Awlaki and the Islamic State.
The Homeland Security and Department of Justice are checking into their histories. Simpson was on the radar for nearly a decade. He was on federal grounding for five years.
He and Soofi saw the Geller event on social media, These men both vowed to interrupt the event by causing mass causalities to those who disrespect the prophet.
Geller has appeared on television the AM agitators and social media to denounce the Muslims.
Three extremists shouting at one another. One extremist decided to create a controversy and put her and many others at risk. |
Geller knew what she was doing. Now she's got the rest of her life trying to watch her back.
Never expecting that day will come when someone will risk their lives taking out her life.
She appears on Loserville with that annoying conservative agitator. They both argue with English extremist Anjem Choudary.
Three extremists debating two failed extremists.
Another irritating shout fest. A great reason to why he's the worst cable news host to ever have a show. Thank god I don't have cable. I don't have to stomach a full hour of it. Even three hours of listening to him on radio is frustrating at times.

Errol Brown Passes Away!
Errol Brown passed away. |
Since you came along....
You sexy thing!
The memorable line from famed soul singer Errol Brown.
The soul group Hot Chocolate was big during the disco days. Its lead front man Errol Brown passed away today. The Associated Press confirms from his family said that Brown died at age 71 at his home in the Bahamas.
Lester Errol Brown was born in Kingston, Jamaica, but moved to the UK when he was twelve years old. His break in music came in 1969 when he recorded a version of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance", with some friends. Unable to change the lyrics without Lennon's permission, he sent a copy to his record label, Apple, and the song was released with Lennon's approval.
The Hot Chocolate albums were produced by Mickie Most and recorded at the RAK Records studio. Brown had a solo career since the 1980s, and achieved music success in the clubs with the 1987 single "Body Rocking", produced by Richard James Burgess.
Brown was a supporter of the Conservative Party, and performed at a party conference in the 1980s.
In 1981, he performed at the wedding reception following the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, at Buckingham Palace.
Brown owned National Hunt horses, including Gainsay.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Errol Brown.
Dorian Johnson Sues Ferguson And Darren Wilson!
Dorian Johnson sues Ferguson. Conservative pounce on him. |
As the racist right prays for more violent riots in Baltimore, let's take a ride on Interstate 70 and head back to St. Louis. Back to the city of Ferguson, MO. The city that sparked a few days of unrest because of the death of an unarmed man being gunned down by the law. The officer got off and it triggered riots in the city.
Dorian Johnson, the guy who claimed that Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown like an animal, is back in the news. Johnson gave his account of the shooting. He the junk food media, that Michael Brown was not a criminal. He got his share of death threats and slander by the racist right. To this day, those on the racist right will respond with their keyboard garbage slandering him and the Black community.
The "Hands Up Don't Shoot" narrative was sparked by his account. This narrative is used to this day despite the racist right's frustration with it and those who use it.
Johnson was there with his friend and he told the federal authorities that he and Michael Brown left a QuikTrip. As they were walking, they saw Wilson pull up in his police vehicle. Wilson ordered them to get on the street.
Darren Wilson is cleared of federal charges. |
The U.S. Justice Department determined Wilson didn't violate Michael Brown's civil rights. But it also noted that the city of Ferguson was using its police force as a money maker. It was wrongly targeting residents (mostly Black) at an unprecedented rate. This was the things that came after the grand jury's decision to find Wilson not liable.
Johnson's account didn't match up. Of course the Witness 40 claim that Brown charged Wilson like a football player was dismissed too. But these narratives are stuck in the minds of some and to this day will be aforementioned.
Johnson like many others was upset that the criminal justice system is stacked against Black America.
So in order to get his redemption ($$$$$$$), he files a federal lawsuit against Darren Wilson and the city of Ferguson for unlawful restraint.
I am assured that the racist right is already attacking him as I speak.
In the case of Freddie Gray and the six officers being charged. You hear the carnival barkers.
That annoying conservative agitator boldly claimed that Freddie Gray had heroin in his system. The worst cable news host to ever be on, says this "bombshell" could help the cops. Of course, he talks to an anonymous source who heard from another anonymous source and talked to the bail bondsman and not his probation officer. Of course a parole officer can't disclose an offender's information without a court order.
So I don't understand why that annoying conservative agitator would have a bondsman on instead of a probation officer!
A bondsman can say anything without being verified. Of course, that's the narrative of this piece of shit.
That old fart said that state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby might as well go riot with the people of Baltimore. Mosby's swift charges towards the six officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray dire the ire of the racist right. That old fart refers to Michael Brown as "the gentle giant" and Freddie Gray as "a known dope boy"
Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard professor who the racist right uses as their "token liberal" said that Mosby's charges are not going to fly because according to his oh-so great mind, the charges were too harsh.
Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke, Jr. called Mosby a disgrace and the protesters a bunch of filthy scum. He said that it's a sad day for all in law enforcement to see a partisan charge cops for a criminal's own faults.
Each of these partisan hacks have the right to criticize.
We have a right to tune them out and keep the pressure on those who believe that Freddie Gray's death was due to police brutality. Regardless of the outcome, this will give those in law enforcement a sense of understanding the need to work as protectors and not enforcers. See if the law was more invested in working with the communities they serve, you wouldn't hear "FUCK THE COPS" from those already lost to the pipeline of society's ills.
The Guy Who Let A Cop Walk In The Eric Garner Case Became A Congressman!
Rep-elect Daniel Donovan, Republican won New York's special election for corrupt lawmaker's seat. |
The insurgency brings another one in.
Representative-elect Daniel Donovan, Jr. is replacing corrupt lawmaker Michael Grimm. The Republican district attorney from Staten Island is notable for allowing the cop in the Eric Garner stranglehold case walk managed to beat a weak Democrat in the special election.
The 11th Congressional District is one of the only areas in New York City that is favorably Republican.
Donovon took it to President Barack Obama, Rep Nancy Pelosi (D-CA, Minority Leader) and mayor Bill de Blasio.
"You sent a message to President Obama, to Nancy Pelosi and yes, even to Bill de Blasio, that their policies are wrong for our nation", Donovon said. "They're wrong for our city and they're wrong for the community of the 11th Congressional District."
The Republican went soft on his campaigning. He was hoping that a low turnout and people focusing on Baltimore (i.e. Black people looting liquor stores) to distract from his involvement in the Eric Garner case.
He ran cautious by casting himself as nonpartisan. Yeah, right!
Donovon will be sworn in Friday.
Wondering how long will it last? When will we be paging Melanie Sloan of C.R.E.W.?
Eric Garner the father of six was killed in Staten Island after a cop put him in an illegal restraint. The cop, Daniel Pantaleo got off but disciplined for his actions. This controversy ran concurrent to the Michael Brown case.
Also a NYPD cop was gunned down by a suspect. Brian Moore was gunned down by Demetrius Blackwell. The firearm this fool used was reported stolen (3 1/2 years) ago. Blackwell is facing the judge on first degree murder.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Brian Moore.

Huckleberry Hound Runs For President!
Huckabee declared his second run for failure. |
The former governor of Arkansas who ran for president is making another run.
He was a host on Loserville, a talk radio agitator and best selling book writer. He's also an ordain Baptist minister and known crackpot.
Perennial candidate Mike Huckabee declared his intentions to run.
Huckabee is a damn clown. At one time, I thought he was a mellow type of Republican. I actually met him in 2007. He was pretty friendly. I met him and his wife at a Florida debate.
Huckabee had Chuck Norris endorse him during the primaries. They were present at the YouTube Republican debate.
I got an opportunity to meet them along with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Mitt Romney, perennial candidates who ran for president.
In Hope, Arkansas, Huckabee declares his intentions. He and former president Bill Clinton grew up in that tiny town off the Interstate 30. Huckabee managed to scare White folks with tales of President Barack Obama siding with the terrorists. The clown wants to put GOD back in the White House.
“I learned the difference between right and wrong. And I learned that God loves me as much as he loves anyone, but that he doesn’t love some more than others,” Huckabee said.
The Republican politician criticized President Barack Obama for – as he sees it – not following through on his speeches about hope and change.
“Eight years later our debt has more than doubled, America’s leadership in the world has completely evaporated and the country is more polarized than ever in my lifetime,” he said.
Huckabee said Americans should get on their knees every night and pray that they live in a country that people are trying to enter rather than escape.
“I’m running for president because I know there is a difference between making a speech and making government accountable to the people who have to pay for it,” he said.
Before taking the stage, Hucksters wife Janet attacked what she sees as an absence of leadership in the United States; she questioned whether the nation is living up to example set by its founders.
“Is there anything that we would die for that our men and women fight today for, every day when they go fight? Do we still have that passion?” she said.
Once again, Mike Huckabee runs for the nomination. |
Now he's automatically a second-tier so don't think that his second run won't change his standings with the Republicans. His attacks on "Uncle Sugar's libido and Beyonce" will get him some play with the insurgency, but really, he's probably doing this for publicity of his book or Netflix series.
The perennial circus is about to get more interesting. Rick Santorum, Jim Gilmore and Rick Perry are tempted to run again.
About 100 miles away from Hope, Arkansas where Huckabee declared his intentions, Missouri Republicans overrides Democrat governor Jay Nixon's veto that imposed strict restrictions on welfare and food stamps.
I don't understand why Americans vote for the Republican Party. The party has no message.
Sorry, they do!
Stop Obama and stop Clinton. Do whatever it takes to delay the final years of Barack Obama's presidency and prevent Americans from putting Hillary Clinton in the White House.
Scare White folks with talk of Blacks looting the liquor store and beating up the White man nearby.
Conservatives hate the Welfare Queens. |
Or perhaps tell White folks that Muslims are scary. There's places in the U.S. that practice Sh'ira law and the Islamic State flag is being flown by these radical Muslims. The Mexican government allowed the Islamic State build a terrorist training camp, eight miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.
Tell the White folks that militant gays and radical atheists are trying to take GOD out of the country.
Tell the White folks that liberals will ban you from drawing Mohammad but allow the slandering of GOD and depicting Jesus Christ as a flaming radical.
Tell the White folks that THE BLACKS are anti-cop, anti-White, having children out of wedlock and willing to vote Democrat despite the party being the real racists.
I am guilty as well as many others. I often vote for the candidate that suits the needs of the people. I voted for Ohio senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) in the previous elections. I voted for John Kaisch in the Ohio governor's race.
I felt that despite him being an opportunistic jackass, the state's economy slightly improved and the challenger, Ed Fitzgerald ran a horrible campaign.
This is the party that believes that those in the middle class make over $250,000 in salary.
Republicans don't want to raise the minimum wage because they believe it drives jobs out of business. Giving workers $13 an hour is going to make McDonald's raise their prices on their food.
Republicans want to raise the retirement age to 70 because they believe that you're able to work, then you should work despite your health declining. Why should you be able to enjoy retirement if you're not able to work weekends?
Republicans don't want to grant equal pay to women. They get time off for maternity leave and they get opportunities to do things men can't do. They never seen a woman lift over 100 lbs. Why should they get paid to do nothing while men do the labors?
Republicans believe government workers are seething in riches. So they'll try to eliminate government agencies they claim are feeding the welfare state. Eliminating the IRS, the EPA, Department of Education, TSA and Department of Commerce will save the nation billions. It will put thousands of Americans out of work. So what!
The Republicans hate welfare. They want to eliminate unemployment benefits, pell grants, food stamp assistance and disability claims. They believe there are millions of Americans spending our taxpayer dollars living on government assistance.
When the single mom loses her job and needs assistance, they believe that giving $50 a month is suitable for a mother. Unemployment is not an option for that worker who had gotten paid $60,000 annual salary. They believe unions are sucking dry the corporations.
Honestly the racist right and those who belong to the Republican Party believe that the poor and needy using the safety net are more dangerous than corporations getting tax breaks to ship jobs overseas.
That Black woman with six children driving that Cadillac and eating lobster. And she's not working one job.
According to the racist right, welfare embolden dependency and entitlements.
I wonder if Huckabee has any thoughts to the Republicans and their obsession with destroying the safety net!

Uncle Ben Rice Being Served In Detroit!
Dinner time is memorable with Uncle Ben's. Politics gotten a whole lot interesting. Ben Carson is running for the nomination. |
Yeah, I said it. What are you going to do about it?
The former neurosurgeon and conservative agitator decided the time is now for him to put the makeup on and jump into the clown car.
As a political novice, Benjamin Carson is assuring the supporters that he's not an insider and he wants to make sure you are aware of that.
He vows to defeat the establishment.
He is one of the many agitators who believe that Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) is a disaster and as president Carson wants to repeal the whole law.
Carson gain notoriety for being the guy who "put Obama in his place". Yeah, the carnival barker told the president off. Funny.
Now he's using his notoriety to run for the White House.
He went to Detroit to make the announcement. He grew up in the city and wanted this as his backdrop. In a packed Detroit Music Hall, he tells his supporters that he's in for the win.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Carson shared his life. He grew up in the city, the son of a house cleaner and a father who left the family when Carson was 8. His mother, Sonya, had only a third-grade education, but didn't let on to her sons.
Speak volumes, Carson is hoping to score supporters. |
"People have lost hope and therefore an opportunity arises for them to break into a place and to loot it and stuff your pocket with things," he said of the unrest in Baltimore. "Some people actually find it easier to collect benefits than to work a minimum wage job. So can you really blame someone who decides to take that? But what it is doing is extinguishing the can-do attitude."
In speeches around the country, as well as in his autobiography "Gifted Hands," the Republican who now lives in Florida often tells of his mother demanding that her two sons turn off the TV, read two books each week from the Detroit Public Library and write a report on those books that she would mark up — even though she couldn't read the words.
"The main thing I'm hoping is that a lot of young people will recognize themselves in me, recognize that they themselves are the most influential factor in achieving their goals," Carson told the Free Press in an interview when a movie based on his book was being shot in Detroit. "Know that it is not enough to just wish, that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but it can be done."
Carson did it, turning what he calls his hated life of poverty, horrible temper and lack of enthusiasm for learning into earning high honors when he graduated from Southwestern High School in Detroit, a scholarship and psychology degree at Yale University and a medical degree from the University of Michigan.
The Detroit Free Press covers the campaign.
Carson is African American. So with that being said, you have the rainbow of extremism.
You got a Black man, two Hispanic men, one woman, and mostly White men running for the Republican nomination. You have four senators, five current governors, three former governors and one former senator. You have a former doctor and a former business executive.
There are five active campaigners for the Republican nomination. Soon there will be more.
