Our country is on the verge of a Mrs. United States, and I am not talking about a Beauty Pageant. I am talking about our first woman president. Is America really ready for this? What about Military warfare? If anyone has seen the TV series, “Command in Chief,” it gives a good view on what to expect. I know it’s Hollywood, but sometimes America believes in Hollywood. A question to ponder, are you ready for a Mrs. President? Please share your views.
