WASHINGTON — Nebraskan Ryan Moore will be a special guest of Hillary Clinton at Wednesday night’s showdown with Donald Trump in Las Vegas.

Moore said the Clinton campaign reached out to him earlier this week about attending the third and final presidential debate as a reminder of everything that Clinton is fighting for in her campaign.

Moore was born in 1986 with a rare form of dwarfism. His father struggled to find a job for a time because employers did not want to take on the extensive health care costs of his young son.

In 1994, Moore and his family participated in an event highlighting the need for changes to the health care system. Clinton scooped up Moore, then 7 years old, during the event and held him throughout her 10-minute speech.

2. She has so much class. nt

3. Perfect.

A classy and absolutely brutal move at the same time. Highlights her policy positions and the people they have helped AND reminds everyone that Trump likes to mock people's physical appearance.

5. This particular guest might be

someone Trump will mock later. That is his style, the loser.

6. Clinton could easily invite people of no class to offend Trump

But instead she brings the best our country has to offer!

I watched the biopic video about Ryan Moore and how he has known Hillary Clinton most of her life and how she championed to get him healthcare despite his rare condition.

Hillary shows class - I appreciate that!

Such a sweet story, and such an upbeat positive attitude throughout all his life's challenges.

Our candidate has class, and it shows.
