On the Republican side, Donald Trump holds a comfortable lead over Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Jeb Bush in recent polls.  Polls are ever changing and could be influenced by the results from Iowa and New Hampshire.  To be determined.

I remember in November 1952, retired Gen. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president.  I was with area Future Farmers of America (FFA) members, spending the night at a Whiteville warehouse.  We were showing cattle.
