Pediatrician, Mom, and Grandmother makes Passionate Case for Voting for Trump, Imperfections and All
By Meg Meeker, MD
With the vice presidential debate behind us, let us hope that now we can hear more about, and focus on, the specific changes the GOP will offer us if Donald Trump gets elected. Seeing a measured and calm — and very vice presidential — Gov. Mike Pence was a breath of fresh air and I hope that the tone he set for the two remaining upcoming presidential debates sticks.
I also hope that all parents watched the VP debate with their children beside them. As I’ve said earlier, this campaign will impact their lives a lot more than it will mine and yours.
As a pediatrician of 30 years, I’ve watched literally thousands of kids grow up. I now take care of many of my former patients’ children and love it. I’ve seen what helps kids do well in life and what doesn’t. And there are a handful of things that are critical to raising great kids that liberals can destroy. That’s why you and I need to do everything that we can to help Trump get elected.
Here are some reasons why we must vote him into the White House on Nov. 8:
1.) Kids need to go to school and not be afraid to hide their faith. Catholic and Protestant kids feel intimidated about letting their faith be known around classmates and teachers. I know this because they tell me so. Even second-graders feel pressure to say the right thing and not say the wrong thing. Hillary Clinton will only intensify these fears if she gets to the White House.
2.) Children lose when liberal social agendas like the most recent transgender bathroom debacle get pushed onto them. Seriously, who could even doubt the confusion of a bright, conscientious third-grader who tries to wrap her head around the fact that the boy in her class says he’s a girl today and should walk into the stall next to her? This is a surefire way to mess up a child.
3.) Hillary will lead our kids into bankruptcy. Sadly, many millennials I speak with aren’t bothered by the outrageous national debt. The reason? They don’t realize that fiscal responsibility was once important. Presidential candidates used to use their promise to balance the national budget as a means to win votes. Now, we are so heavily in debt that none of us can wrap our heads around the numbers. Debt feels like a fantasy — not a reality. But it will cost our children and grandchildren good health care, good jobs, owning a home — and make even pursuing their dreams implausible.
4.) The pervasive and toxic liberal mindset that being a victim is noble paralyzes children’s creativity and ingenuity. If our children are learning to see themselves as victims because a boy was referred to as “he” when he felt like a “she”; that a 17-year-old paid a minimum wage is cheated and that a college student who has to pay to go to school is robbed — we raise a generation of adults who never learn to work, take charge of their lives, or free themselves from the claws of dependency on the government or their parents. That, my friends, will be a sad day.
I realize that many parents dislike Donald Trump’s banter at times — but let’s be honest. At least he was never investigated by the FBI, did not advocate for the demise of great health care, and did not stay married to a spouse accused of rape. We need to remember that if we love and believe in all that the GOP stands for, we must vote on Nov. 8.
Forget about your feelings and do the right thing for your kids — because there’s one thing I promise: Their future under a Clinton presidency will look awfully dark.

This says it all, let’s all get out and vote for Donald Trump.
Well said. No comment needed
What a truly articulate common sense argument for Donald Trump’s presidency. Because this election is really all about the next few SCOTUS appointments–because I worked in the education field–I can promise you the present agenda of the Left is not what we want for our children. They don’t teach common sense, critical thinking skills, or real U.S. History.
Thank you, Dr.. God Bless You in your work!!
Still has my vote and those of many I know. We are fully aware of how the Dems are twisting and coloring everything they can think of to us to attack so eyes aren’t watching them. Continue on, Mr. President.
Very true! I wish many opened up their eyes. I personally do not like either candidate but I am trying to figure out when badmouthing or namecalling overrides murder??!!! Yes,Trump should shut his mouth and turn on his filter but overall he makes extremely valid points. He has stated on several occasions a very true statement that seems to be ignored. Hilary has been in or near the whitehouse for almost 30 years now and she keeps speaking about all these things she is going to do. She has had all the opportunity to do so, what’s making her a president going to change that? I feel that if she were the president, there would be nothing stopping her from selling us to the highest bidder. She is full of greed and extremely power hungry. She has already carelessly leaked important information to the wrong hands, we already have almost everything made in China, it wouldnt be that difficult to do. They already technically own us, and she has very strange close relationships with them.
There was a statistic done recently that over 60% of people “share” things on social media that they didn’t even open. This ignorance is an example of many people that don’t get the right information. Millennials, most of what you hear or see on the internet is not true!!!
Let me see, a self described and admitted sexual predator, a man who has committed to murdering women and children and has said he will force the military to commit war crimes? What!
Goodness, and you’re a pediatrician?! So it doesn’t bother you that Donald Trump has questioned vaccine safety? That he honestly thinks vaccines have resulted in increased autism rates? Im sure you’re ok with young boys looking up to his mistreatment of women too right?
As far as we’ve come with the gender neutrality and accepting those that are transgender, you’re worried about the OTHER 3rd graders?! Continue to alienate by all means! I seriously never thought I’d see the day when a pediatrician voted Trump Do the world a favor read up a little more on Hillary’s track record for getting children health insurance and for all she’s done. Watch how many of your patients can’t afford to see if Mr “Insurance companies will meet and people will magically sign up without a mandate” Trump gets elected.
Youre welcome.
