Why Swamping the Townhall is Vital to Check the GOP

I know that most Republicans are dismissing the angry crowds at the townhalls as "paid protestors" and just Democrats.

Here is the political reality. Even if their loyal Republican supporters are unmoved by the crowds who are showing up BIGLY; there are alot more of us than the idiots who vote for the moral con-artists that make today's GOP. Trump has awakened a sleeping giant in this nation who will keep being inspired to end the Republican Reign of Terror in 2018.

In private, they are shitting themselves. That fear may or may or may not be a check on their extremism, but we need to keep making them worry!

that they work for us and not the other way around. Most of them seem to have forgotten that.

Most GOP Congress members are in safely gerrymandered districts. But they still hate negative publicity.

So chickenshit they can't meet with voters. How can they stand up for us in congress? We should get that on video of all 245 rethugs to use in ads against them. Cowards who run away.
