"The Representative didn't have a plan." This is true on more than just one level.

From the linked article:
"The Representative didn't have a plan. They expected just a small handful of people to show up," Siebert said. "We were under the understanding it was a town hall meeting and they were only allowing four people in at a time."
No shit, he didn't have a clue, a plan or an inkling of the shitstorm of destruction he's unleashed on his constituents, and he didn't care to have to listen to them try and explain it to him.

We need to keep up the pressure on everyone of them.

(24,135 posts)9. No, The District
was redrawn to include Aurora... but it still includes large chunks of Jefferson county - Morgan Carroll was a terrible candidate - if anyone could have taken him out it would have been Andrew Romanoff in 2014.
Coffman reached out to minority groups in Aurora -
The District did go for Hillary though.
