We will be hoping the good doctor will remember his promise NOT to be taking a ministry !!

Will be the first test of his character and integrity if he is able to keeps his word and promises when the temptations of the cookie jar of the Ministry of Finance are dangled in front and for his taking.

Just like Mr. Panama Christie. !

Dimwitted Doc Minnis couldn't lead a swarm of flies to a pile of horse dung!

I wid you Doc. After voting for all kinds of third parties and independents that last 4 elections I am rocking' with the FNM this go round. I am taking no chances that liars and thieves are returned to office. Shit! I may even go to a rally and write a cheque.

Why am I not comforted by this statement?

Lol. My thoughts exactly.

Doc Minnis is capable of being a CEO of The Bahamas........... he has a far better track record of managing a business and being a productive private sector entrepreneur than Pindling, Ingraham or Christie ......... The man came into politics as an accomplished professional and businessman ........ You cannot say that about our PMs of record

You are a truly blind fly but no doubt one with a great sense of smell. Therefore you might be lucky enough to land on that pile of horse dung without the help of the Dimwitted Doc.

Are you a medical Doctor that came from poverty and built a multi million dollar net worth ?I,m tired of slick talk , my Legal counsel , may he RIP , went to law school w/ PGC and his nick name some 40 0dd years ago was "Lord Bull " I don,t swear by party , I have voted both PLP and FNM ,,but this time I will take my chance w, Doc ..Montel Williams told me all about the apartment PGC ,Bethel got from the Chinese over looking Central park to stiff Izzie out of Baha mar and sell out the Bahamas

So now you want the Dimwitted Doc to get an even bigger condo with a much better view of Central Park?! The Doc is very capable of "out doing" Crooked Christie when it comes to basking in corruption. No, I'm not a physician, and, as for my net worth, well that's really none of your business. But I can say I'm completely "self-made" and what I'm worth greatly exceeds the $12 million the Dimwitted Doc claims to be worth. You can waste your vote on the Doc or other FNM candidate running in your constituency, but you can be rest assured I will not do likewise and with good reason.

If as you say your net worth is none of by business , but you couldn,t help yourself from claiming to be worth more than 12 million , so you think it is my business .Well my net worth,, be it more than one dollar or less than a billion really is no ones business . Voting for a independent is a waste , even though we have a parliamentary system we are mostly voting for the leader . I know how much Christie and the Bagman Bethel will sell us out for , I will take my chance w/ Doc .The same way Williams threw Bethel off his yacht my Pop and I politely asked Bethel and M Butler to leave our office b/c we where busy when they tried to get their claws into something my great granddaddy founded

Geeez! I didn't raise the matter of net worth - you did!

Mudda / Reality Check: your supposed high net worth only gets you one vote like the rest of us. The FNM will win the upcoming election whether you rate Doc or not.

Sadly though, money does indeed buy the outcome of elections and favoritism from governments. Just ask Sebas Bastian and Craig Flowers.

And you sir, are on a level as bullshit artist with the best of them. I really don't understand your agenda, considering that I think that I know who you are.

No, I'm not Russian!

Right Just as he was in charge of Butler Turner and the other FNM Members of the house.
The FNM believe him ,though, because they believe the sky is Red even when it is Blue.

Birdie ......... you do not know the difference between a CEO and a despot ...... The three Bahamian PMs were all despots

Comrade Minnis. More Bahamalanders want to support you for PM but remain sitting on the support fence.
This has little to do about how good or bad you talk. They're just not sure if they want to risk wasting their vote on your leadership?
To become Prime Minister in mere weeks, you must get about the work of proving that you're worthy of the nation's top chief executive's job?
There's no running away from reality that it was you as party leader who allowed Loretta to position herself into your job as official opposition leader. It was under your leadership that your House Of Assembly MP's were shrunken by Seven, and left the core base of thousands red party supporters feeling demoralized.
With all due respect, Minnis, granted you're a rich man, a nice man, a honest man, a medical doctor, good family man, and with business success - but your problem has and remains leadership, not how good or bad you talk.
Cases in point. You should have dismissed Loretta, from day one her backstabbing, and not allowed her monkey around with you.
You should have either made a deal with Bran, or kissed him goodbye.
Others see you as indecisive.

Tal ............ God works in mysterious ways ........... as with Nature, you grow best after having been pruned ..... the pruning that took place within the FNM last December was the stimulus that has led to the impending "red tsunami"

Comrade Sheeprunner12, days to maybe 2 weeks, before the PM rungs the 2017 General Election cow bell - so tell Minnis, to take his pruning shears to clip a few them announced red candidates out the red party's garden. .

I'm not particularly "gun- hoe" about voting for Doc Minnis either. But the sad truth is the Bahamas would not survive another five years under Perry Christie.

The PLP has been a failure beyond belief. There is no doubt that Perry and his crew has brought our country to social and financial disaster. We're still not sure what we're going to get under Hubert Minnis. But we're already 100% sure what we will get under Perry Christie.

So I'll take my chances with Doc Minnis. This will be the first time in Bahamian history that our country will have a PM who was never a PLP nor brought into politics and trained in the political tactics of Sir Lynden Pindling. For the first time we'll have a PM who is not a PLP.

Yep!

Amen to all that!

If Minnis was honest he would tell you himself that he has voted PLP on more occasions than he has voted FNM. But that's irrelevant. The man is simply too darn dumb, incompetent and greedy to do anything but make matters much much worse than we could ever imagine.

I am friggin' amazed at some of the policy coming out of doc's assemblage of candidates. It is progressive first-world shiite and it will fundamentally change many things. The policy that is being discussed as platform gives me a small measure of hope in the darkness. I am hearing things that take courage to implement, yet are finally, for the good of the country.

Whatever happens this election I pray our country can move forward. We are too stagnant and slow to progress. The PLP has frustrated the country with its lack of action. This is what happens when you have an indecisive, lazy PM. He didn't even make the effort to shuffle his cabinet. Just comfortable with the status quo. So now we can only hope for meaningful change and governance . Whoever has the privilege of serving our country as government I would hope fights for us and makes some big bold moves to advance this country.
