Here is what the gas price was set at. I think it is way too low.

It's actually the other way around.

Gas Limit: 7592488 Gas Used By Txn: Pending Gas Price: 0.000000002 Ether (2 Gwei) Max Txn Cost/Fee: 0.015184976 Ether ($10.38) Nonce: 2

As you can see, the gas limit of the transaction is 7,592,488, while the current block gas limit is ~8,000,000 gas
Blocks in ethereum have a block gas limit, which determines how many transactions can fit in a block, similar to the block size limit in bitcoin.
Your transaction has a very high gas limit so if it is included in a block, there wouldn't be space for other pricier transactions.
So your transaction would most likely not be mined any time soon.

However, in ethereum, you can "replace" pending transactions by broadcasting a transaction with the same nonce but with a higher gas price.

To do that you'll need MyEtherWallet. Go to MEW website, to the offline transactions tab, in the field for the "from" address, insert your address, in the destination address insert any random ethereum Address. In the amount to be sent, input 0 eth.
Set gas limit as 21,000 or 30,000. Set gas price according to ethgasstation.info (3 gwei should do the trick) note that the price is in Wei, so 3 gwei = 3000000000 Wei (9 zeroes after 3)
In the nonce field insert the same nonce as the pending transaction which is 2.
Then import your private key, sign the transaction and broadcast it.
This new transaction will override the pending one and you can now resend it with the correct gas limit this time.

I tried everything step by step. At the end in step two it ask me how I would like to connect to my wallet, I select metamask. Then I click generate transaction and it gives me a raw transaction and signed transaction. The signed transaction automatically gets pasted into the sign transaction box in next step 3 which is the last step. I click send transaction then it give me a red signal at the bottom which says error_13 invalid signed transaction.

I thought about what you said earlier and the reason I said the price was too low was because I was looking at 0.000000002 Ethereum price.
