IF they are smart, they will start to understand that their jobs are depending on their actions from now until next election. They just proved how totally out of touch with their constituents they really are. FIRE THEM, get reps. in who DO listen to the people.

All this man's money and he can't even buy a clue!!!


The system of government in this country is NOT that hard to understand! I am pretty sure I had a good idea of how it worked by the 8th grade and I was a terrible delinquent! I even skipped half of 7th grade BUT I STILL LEARNED much more than this one.

Because making America great again is all about trusting your instincts. Only the stupid losers plan things in advance. When I make America great again, there will be no planning, OK?

I'm sure he meant "paid" instead of planned, but his sweaty fat fingers probably misfired. A: I still don't get "liberal" being an insult. B: what's wrong with activists?

Every one of these meetings someone should get up and remind the reps the only paid/well financed people in the room are them. And they're paid by US! They'd do well to start listening.

Much easier to push propaganda to an appreciative quarter filled hall.

However, the snowflake Republicon Representatives don't like it when constituents PLAN to show up and then ACTUALLY, really, undeniably, in fact, DO show up, as planned!

Worse from their tender point of view, the constituents dared to give them feedback! Amazingly, they planned to and performed the real function of a town hall. But it was not according to the Republicon PLAN, so it must be a PLAN!

The real horror is the sense of entitlement RepubliCONs have about their positions.

some pols to switch parties and become Democrats.

In bathrooms across the US, transgender terrorists are unpacking nuclear weapons smuggled into the country in bales of marijuana and quietly repacking the devices into boxes of donuts!
