"Trump said in Richmond, that he will take all federal funds away from public schools that require vaccines," she tweeted. "Like most states, Virginia requires MMR vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, polio, etc. So Trump would take millions in federal funds away from all Virginia public schools."
Baylor University professor Dr. Peter Hotez, wrote, "Hoping he doesn't really mean it, since it would create a public health catastrophe for the nation…"
Former United States Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, posed a question to "Parents across America," asking, "Is this really what you want for your children?

Hey, what's a little polio between friends?
Thanks to Illegal migrants, many diseases are making a comeback in the US.
Other responses:
Regardless of my personal political views-- I don't think will be out next President.
One of the biggest factor against his election-- the Abortion issue.
(That's a biggie-- even with many Conservative women...and their families.).
And then there are two other major factors:
-Gen Z turning 18 on or before the election.
-And finally, Taylor Swift-- if she decides to speak up and express her views.
There is no level of pandering to the right wing base that trump will not resort to
And they love him for it. They think he was sent by God.
Only some of them....think he was sent by God.
(The rest of 'em think he is God!)
