Must be the same people on the buses that went to New Hampshire from Massachusetts to vote illegally.

You know, this guy makes a good point:

If one were doing a good job of representing a constituency, one would recognize at least a few of the folks. Like the ones that show up at his office for help. Like the ones that have asked for assistance with a federal program or getting a kid into a military academy.

How can you represent an entire district where you know or recognize absolutely no one in a crowd of several hundred?

Maybe I have this all wrong, but it is telling that some of these guys can’t pick out anyone they know from their own district in a crowd.

Trump: This congressman is not of Russian descent and therefore not a patriot. I dont have to listen to him.

Prepare for an orange tweetstorm. You have spoken against Hair Furor by telling the truth.

That’s strictly verboten in today’s GOP.

Might be a low bar to cross but it’s nice to see a Republican Congresscritter with a lick of integrity and concern for his constituents.

Careful dude, Donald will get angry if you don’t tell him what he wants to hear and believes is true!

Spicer blamed the commotion on a “professional protester manufactured base.” President Trump has said angry constituents are organized by “liberal activists.” And Jim DeMint, the former South Carolina senator and current president of the Heritage Foundation, said Tuesday that protesters were being “bused around” by “well-financed” interests.

Professional protesters?
Organized activists?
Bused around by well-financed interests?

Throw in a pair of $5,000 shoes, and that’s the exact definition of a GOP lobbyist…

A Jersey Republican is going to be stepping more lightly right now than a lady in $500 shoes crossing a cow pasture.

He will be hearing soon from the head of his Congressional Caucus about “the importance of sticking to the script!”

After all, if EVERYBODY doesn’t tell the same lies, how can they dupe the rubes into supporting them?

N that’s my biggest fear

This idea that the majority is trying to outrun or wait out these protests/town halls.

Exactly.

It’s nothing good about a certain old independent and the supposed love felt for him by many, many, many American people.

Except he lost the primary.

NJ 7th is basically solidly red but is considered as one of the potentially competitive seats for us. This “Our Revolution” guy lost to Lance just this November though (54-43).
