I wonder how the sniveling little coward responded. Personally, I would not have been able to speak to him without wanting to choke him to death.

she is not his constituent.
His constituents are the wealthy he get tax breaks for.
Instead of Healthcare, Eddy is all about Wealthcare.

Paul Ryan is irredeemable. He was featured at a CNN healthcare town hall where a Republican told him he would be dead were it not for Obamacare. Despite his own history of needing a "handout," he has zero empathy for others.
