Nom d'un nom! Will they take suggestions?

Post by MajGenl.Meade »

Two Republican presidential candidates have gotten their Secret Service codenames, but not the ones they picked in September.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump has been assigned the name “Mogul,” while retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has been assigned “Eli,” a reference to a common name for students at Yale, where he attended undergraduate, and also a biblical figure whose name means “God is most high,” according to Fox News correspondent Ed Henry.

During a lightning-round question at the second Republican debate about what Secret Service codenames the candidates would like, Trump jokingly suggested “Humble,” while Carson went with “One Nation.”
Not sure about Trump as "mogul" but surely Carson should be "He Lie"?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Well I guess Donald could be a mogul as it's used in skiing--a big mound lying in the middle of the trail which impedes progress unless you go around or over it.
