The fine folks on my facebook who started with him seem to still be with him. :dubious: He has no fucking clue how the rest of us use health insurance and the benefits of ACA that have helped me and my family many times. It’s not perfect but he clearly doesn’t want to understand and fix it. ---

Donald’s done well, all things considered. He’s been calm, pretty articulate, and did apologize and express embarrassment for the tape. But Hillary has been more inspiring. ---
