will Republican legislators learn the disconnect between their definition of ā€˜doing their jobs’ and their constituents definition of what their job is?

stay tuned… maybe Cotton will offer a letter signed by the Senators offering Cheeto Donnie guidance on dealing with Putin…

I swear, Tom Cotton looks almost identical to a gay porn star from a decade back, Michael Brandon. Whenever I see Cotton, my gaydar has always gone off. Beard looks good, Tom – nice daddy look. :wink:

The questioners politely handed Cotton his hat. He came off looking clueless. The photo says it all, deer in the headlights. He was taken to task by the people he forgot in a way he didn’t see coming.

Remember Tom Cotton is this guy – the one who blocked Obama’s appointment of a lovely, qualified African American lawyer to the Bahamas ambassadorship solely to spite the President. She died while waiting to be confirmed. We throw the word evil around too much. He earns it.

This was all over the news last night and Mourning Joe this AM
My favorite was the lady who stood up (paraphrase) and said you are busy repealing our health care, while you are covered under your Cadillac plan.
Something happening here… what it is ain’t exactly clear

The problem that Rs face in these situations isn’t a big crowd demanding answers. The problem is that they have no answers.

Republicans loved Pat Buchanan’s ā€œPeasants with pitchforksā€ in 1992. Republicans loved the Teabaggers. Republicans love loud, outraged constituents.

Until those constituents protest Republicans.

Can you imagine the HR department for the company hiring all these professional protesters all over the country? They must be going crazy making all the ID badges.

To each his/her own, but all the chants don’t really do it for me.

Asking pointed questions and pointing out if answers given aren’t really an answer or aren’t an answer you think will work are more what I feel like will put them in the hot seat and not make the crowd seem like they are just there seeking camera time…or being paid.

Yes, I hope this doesn’t become gimmicky. The questions and follow up are better.

I just listened to a representative on NPR. He tried to explain how much better the Republican plan will be with their tax incentives and relief. But could never quite get to the issue of the poor never being able to get the tax relief because they don’t pay taxes. AND in reality the problem is the insurance plans and their expense. Why is it that in the worst of times, insurance companies still make a huge profit? Look back to 2008. That’s not a win, win. It’s devastation. It kills. Insurance companies win, wall street wins the pharmas win and people die and clinics in rural areas close, hospitals struggle. You want to see death panels, get ready because the numbers will be there for the public to see. It will be somebody’s son, granddaughter, uncle, father, mother. The heartbreak will be greater because they know now, they had a chance through Obamacare to keep that loved one healthy and alive.
