@matthewjdowd People need to remember that we aren’t hiring him to debate narcissistic liars. We are hiring him to run the country, and his first term has been a MASTER CLASS in that. If we cared about debates, Hillary would be president right now. She mopped the floor w/Donnie several times.

@NotAgainYall @AngelBrittanyxo @Jenn9925 I had the exact same experience except I was unconscious when I arrived at the hospital. A surgeon made a decision to save my life. I was 22, first year teacher, newly married and on the pill. Hadn’t even missed a period. My adult life would never have happened in Texas today. 😢
