        What do a multi-millionaire, a former CEO of HP Computers,
        and a retired neurosurgeon have in common? They were all
        running for President at some point. Easily the most interesting
        race in decades, this election saw a wide variety of characters
        (right) seek the Republican Presidential nomination, including:
        Jeb Bush, Dr.  Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Carly
        Fiorina, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump. As of
        writing this, only Trump, Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich remain.         Fiorina                      Rubio         Trump

                            President Trump? It could happen. Whether it has been his plans
                            to build a wall to prevent  illegal immigration, or his stance on gun
                            control, Donald Trump (left) has certainly been quite the
                            controversial candidate. Many Americans believe that Trump as
                            president is a joke, but at printing, Trump was currently the
                            Republican front runner, having won twelve out of twenty state
                            primaries, with his closest rival, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, winning
                            only six states.
