@JasonKander I’m one of them – 25 yo with a masters degree AND gainfully employed

And:

Amber George ‏@AtotheG
@JasonKander I am one of the 30. ACA afforded me access to medicine that helped me achieve remission. Saved my life and gave me a new one.

And:

John ‏@jtl2000
@JasonKander I’m one. Including wife and kids that’s 4. Both of us have master’s degrees and I’ve paid a helluva lot more taxes than Trump.

There are many more stories. And, of course, a few right wingnut trolls, too. Go. Read the whole thread.

And Missouri voters returned (barely) Roy Blunt (r) to the U.S. Senate. What a wasted opportunity.
