A hundred cheering rents from central casting at $50.00 each as Trump came down the escalator as from Olympus, and the Republicans therefore think everyone does it that way.
It seems that the guilty generally try to deflect by accusing others. Someone who cheats at games tends to expect others to cheat so they throw out baseless accusations.
.Several commenters here have claimed that there is violence at the town halls but I have not found anything to back that up.
^ And the fun part of that is that poorly informed Conservatives don’t know that, thinking the Dems still hold power. So when everything goes south under Trump, they will still blame the Liberals.
The Republicans have an easy out on this. Go for single payer. That’s what the Democrats wanted in the first place, so they will get enough Democratic votes to pass it. Obamacare started out pretty good, but by the time it made it through congress it was sufficiently messed up, deliberately or through a lack of forethought, that it was simply the best deal the Democrats could get. And, it was the result of efforts toward health care that began with the New Deal in the depression. So, Obama took what he could get. It’s not good, but it’s better than nothing and forces the Republicans to have to do something about the issue. So, if they go for Single Payer, it will be the best thing for the voters, who will credit the Republicans, and the Democrats will get what they wanted in the first place, except of course, that they would prefer that they had gotten credit for it.
After over a year of the Trump campaign paying folks to show up, and protest, and bring guns, and threaten violence when they didn’t actually start it, their “alternate facts” at this time are a tad remote from reality indeed.

I wonder if the Koch Brothers sent that rant out along with the legislative acts they send by ALEC for republican politicians to pass.

Our local members of the Rat Pack solve the problem by hiding from the local constituents, Bad cess to them.
