You had to jump through hoops to get in, I was told. So yeah, it appears they were. No paid protesters when you write the rules for admission, Sessions.

Could be we’re seeing the difference with and without turnout. For too long, voter apathy and low turnout have allowed the outer fringes of the right to live entirely inside the echo chamber. Now all these people that weren’t participating actively are suddenly crashing the party and the old message isn’t working like it used to.

I wonder if “Vote him out!” will give the arrogant, condescending sonofabitch the slightest pause?

You have it exactly backwards; we are frustrated BECAUSE we listen to the horseshit from you and your ilk.

Yep, looks like some tough sledding ahead for these GOP volks, or folks.

If he doesn’t listen to the people, he might not learn that he’s been voted out until the locks have been changed on his office door in the capital.

At that point he can give town hall meetings that are considerably quieter but he’ll still have the problem of getting people to listen to him.

Unfortunately, if he’s voted out, he’ll still draw his pension and he’ll still get free gob’rmin health care.

There is no more favorable form of communism on this earth than that experienced by the ex-congressman.

If he had the courage of his convictions, he’d forgo both the pension and health benefits.

If Donald Trump doesn’t issue a statement about Chuck it’ll be the most scandalous thing yet from this usurper.

Time to get a new copy of the bumper sticker I had on my car in 2006. “Had Enough? Vote Democrat!”

We may not want a comment from that man. I can imagine the tweet now: “Chuck Barris was an American Treasure. His Gong Show was the living example of MAGA. He will be missed. Sad.”

Plus, he thinks Chuck Berry’s cousin Marvin ripped off the act from Marty McFly.

That’s exactly what the crowd yelled back to him. One guy said, “We don’t have to listen to lies.” They also asked him about Russia’s interference in the election and about Trump’s tax returns.

By “You don’t know how to listen” he means “you don’t respect my authority”. Which should be read in the voice of Cartman from South Park.

yep yep ~ we 50 -64 years old remember things real well. I,for one, am sick and tired of having to do battle over wars already won ~~~ I vote in every election, not just presidential, and will continue to do so. I have never voted for a third party candidate, was a Bernie supporter who voted for Hillary, as did all of the other Bernie supporters I know. I have been accused on other sites of being a liar, that I did not in fact vote for Hillary, etc., ad nauseam ~ don’t know what is up with that.
