Town Hall-itosis

One of the latest fake news memes is that Republicans are in full revolt as seen in some town halls full of shouting protesters. Now, President Trump is suggesting that some of these uprisings have been packed with (Soros?) lefties ... see: Politico Story.

Is Trump right? I think maybe he is. Yes, there is some distress that is coming from the right ... particularly about the slow pace of remaking Obamacare, tax reform, and regulation rollbacks. However, when I heard that these town hall protesters are shouting at their Congress persons to resist Trump's immigration and transgender policies (as some have been doing), then I think Trump is onto something. There even is a town-hall protest "Training Manual" put out by  Obama's "Organizing for Action" ... see: NY Post Article.

So, dear reader, may I suggest that you carefully listen to what questions are asked and look at the placards that these "constituents" are using at these town meetings. If these meetings are full of insidious histrionics, then this does not sound like conservatives. After all, it has been only a little over a month since Trump was inaugurated ... and the Democrats have declared the "honeymoon" was over before it even started ... a good reason for some delays.

Loyal Republicans would likely be a little more understanding and patient, IMHO. This Town Hall-itosis reportage just doesn't smell right.
