Helluva Idea
I know this came up in the comment section last night, but I just wanna add my Hallelujah to the suggestion that Democrats hold town hall meetings in Republican districts to explain Trumpcare.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) said “if it takes a Democrat” to explain House Republicans’ healthcare bill, he’s willing to do it.
“Maybe a Democrat ought to go into every district where a Republican who supported TrumpCare won’t hold a town hall meeting, and do it for them,” he said during an interview on MSNBC.
My CongressCon, Pete Olson (yeah, well, he’s never heard of you either), has announced that he’s will willing to hold small roundtable discussions in his local offices with 5 or 6 people. However, you cannot have a small group with you and your friends. Ole Pete has got to insure that at least two of his supporters are there – one who has read the bill and the other to stare you down while calling to Jesus to save your immoral soul.
You know how they say that politics is Hollywood for ugly people? Yeah, well …
In Congress, Pete is rarely distinguishable from the furniture. But he does whatever Phil Gramm and John Cornyn tell him to do and in exchange he gets a paycheck.
We need a damn Democrat to come here and shame this sucker. Assuming, of course, that any Republican has an ounce of shame left.
