As members of Congress take a break from the hard work of legislating to go home to their districts, many Republicans are facing a tough reception at town hall meetings. Liberals, echoing tactics used by Tea Party activists in the summer of 2009, are flooding these forums with unusually large and hostile crowds demanding answers about what the GOP plans to do for the millions of Americans who depend on the Affordable Care Act for health care.

Town hall mobilizations have been underway since Donald Trump’s inauguration, and they’ve already led many Republican members to decide they want to avoid holding any public events. President Trump, meanwhile, wants people to know that he finds the whole thing sad.

[blockquote style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:10px;"] The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!

Trump is, fundamentally, correct that these crowds have been instigated and organized by liberal activists — just as the Tea Party crowds were organized by conservative ones.

But crying astroturf at the Tea Party didn’t stop the GOP from sweeping to a wave of victories in the 2010 midterms. And by the same token, the demonstrations against repealing the Affordable Care Act are clearly having an impact on Republicans’ thinking — slowing down the process and raising real doubts about whether repeal will happen.

1. Aw you got to love it.

These folks have not seen anything yet. So if these Rethugs continue down the road of not listening to their Constituents,well that is not going to work out to well for them.

We have Dean Heller as the Thug Senator here in Nevada,he hangs out in the Reno area knowing he is up for reelection next year and if he hits Clark County,it will take two or three Stadiums to accommodate the citizens.

Hunch says he will be meeting with Pence and Cheney at Sheldon's Strip Palace on Friday. Sheldon is damning a Counsel with the King or his Representative. After all,Sheldon gave 80 million towards their campaigns.

3. Some of these people are refusing to hold town hall meetings.

They will meet with republicans or hold other public events. It is a good idea to know about their other planned appearances and ambush them if possible. Even if they won't speak to us, sometimes they have to flee, or an event is disrupted. It makes the news.
