#1 Miss IOWA! Miss South Dakota. Miss Oklahoma is pretty and looks like Donald's type.
but i won't watch the pageant.
Miss Calif is ugly. so no way.
nice copying job from another article
would of been nice if the new miss usa could of spoken english without breaks in it. what a joke. she never did give an answer to the question she was ask.
Seriously! She is VERY beautiful BUT did any of the judges pay attention to her interview responses? After all, Miss USA and others have stated year after year that it is about more than beauty but also brains. Were the questions fair and of similar caliber? How can you ask one about the pageant pics or should birth control be covered by healthcare and another about BP or immigration? I grew up watching pageants, thanks Mr. Trump and judges for ruining pageant watching for my daughter and generations to come. What a joke!
