Same here. Were they Trumpsters or pro Obamacare anti-Trumps?

Well. They are pro-Trump voters? Then thatā€™s a mob your party has been nurturing for years. You gotta deal with it.

Edit: Just saw @clunkertruckā€™s link just above. Thanks.

Thanks for the article. Clearly, the Rethugs are not prepared for the pushback.

This is a tactic I have seen used by local governments here in Michigan, for obvious purposes.

Itā€™s pretty obvious. Why the confusion?

We need a MoveOn or DNC or new website devoted to ONLY this one thing:

Informing and coordinating Ds about each and every GOP town hall or other forum for meeting these fascists.

Coordination includes messaging coherence. For now, the protests should be about (1) demanding healthcare and (2) demanding an investigation into the Trumpist collusion with Russia. Nothing else. These issues are nonpartisan matters of life and death.

There will be plenty of opportunities to broach the other policy stuff later.

TypicaL GOP SCUM. Full of bravado when they brag about screwing things up, but afraid of getting it pinned on themselves.

I saw that earlier. If the House flips, John Lewis becomes the new chair of the House Ethics Committee.

The sweetness of that should empower every democrat.

Edited to add a necessary comma. Hahaha

Put the fear of GOD into them i.e. their jobs are at stake in 2018.

My congressman, a multi-term GOPer in a gerrymandered district, has not replied on any one of 4 emails asking for his position on ACA repeal or dismantlement of Medicare or SS.

I canā€™t even get a bed bug letter from him. http://www.snopes.com/business/consumer/bedbug.asp

You should call his office. Emails are easy to ignore.
