I meant the energy in opposition more than anything (and not just at this specific town hall).

That's just tea party tactics in reverse. Most arent there to get actual answers but to make him sweat

Getting pro Gorsuch commercials on TV now telling people to demand their reps vote for him. Never saw a commercial in support of Merrick Garland. Republicans are way better at playing the game.

McCain earned that reputation earlier in his career with campaign finance reform, immigration reform, and anti-tobacco legislation but he's mostly pissed that goodwill down the toilet and is very partisan. He endorsed Trump for almost the entire election, he pretended like he'd oppose Tillerson since neoconservatism is his reason for existence but then confirmed him anyways, he said he'd oppose any Hillary SCOTUS pick. He talks a big game but ultimately just votes with his party.
He's also super bloodthirsty and hawkish which turns off most of the left, we have a few neocon types in here apparently though.
Bill Maher's gonna have a townhall on...CNN for some reason?
Whatevs. Still gonna watch if it's gonna be like this:

Talks a big game, always ends up voting with the party. He's basically Marco Rubio living off his reputation.

Well, it's more like "there are far more partisan billionaires." There are liberal billionaires but they're largely moderate 'we can all get along' types.

Don't need rich donors when you can have a smug sense of superiority and self satisfaction though.

I don't read Creole, what does it say?
LOL, Twitter thinks it's a Haitian word or something. "Pawimi!"
It's always her, and nobody else like Spicer or another Trump official, that responds to Hillary. Like, she's the one that has to do it because she's the woman?

Despite the fact that the strategy the past 2 weeks seems to have been "let's slow down and not do anything new and let people tire themselves out on being angry," it's still been a really shitty 2 weeks for the administration. A lot of it is Trump offering his daily thoughts on Twitter, which constantly reminds people of the level of crazy we're dealing with and invites media investigation. Trump himself keeps choosing to keep the headlines against him in the news perpetually.
Does he have no advisors that can tell him that the odds are massively against him with SCOTUS? If he's angry enough for caps at a circuit court decision, what's next? Is he going to petition Twitter to add a bold text option specifically for his account? ...Trick question, I already know he'll just threaten the legitimacy of the court just because they'll say something mean about him.

There has to be evidence, right? Why else would someone say something so ridiculous.
Also, everyone on Twitter is saying Flynn is going to have be fired. Have they not seen Trump before? He'll just dig in. He doesn't even think Conway did anything wrong.

I swear there needs to be a law or something where if you're a member of Congress you have to hold town halls and meet with your constituents at least x amount of times per year. I'm glad my congressman frequently comes back to our district and always engages with us when he can. It's also nice that if I ever have any issues with him then his new office is down the street from my house.
But Jason Chaffetz is going to get her when he never managed to get Clinton.

You can see the internal screaming through the compression.
Trump's top pick for Solicitor General pulled out consideration because Democrats are mean and he didn't want his fefes hurt going through confirmation.

Why does the SG even need Senate confirmation?
Utah is a weird place and certainly has its faults, but it always finds a way to encourage me:

Wow, I thought it was Cooper's job to lose
As an Arizonan let make a quick summary.
McCain has never done anything for the state of AZ, nothing, not a thing, NO THING. Definitely not a thing since I moved here in 2003. Dude used to brag about how he didn't do "pork barrel" projects.
McCain talks a lot, but, I can't recall the last bill of his that he worked on which was passed. Apparently he had some from 2005 through 2007 and none since.
McCain has a reputation which aligns strongly with Arizona's libertarian Republican history, but, really he voted with Bush, voted against Obama, and has so far voted with Trump which makes him a run of the right wing extremest (aka Republican). He actually has a slightly lower percentage of votes against his own party then the average Republican.
GTFO with this nonsense.

Like 30% of our state is hardcore progressive with a lot of those people being atheists. It's just that they're distributed through the four districts so we get no representation.

so they're going to give kellyann's husband the job instead? no crony!
What is "50%'s record against Donald Trump":
National Popular vote, primary popular vote, inauguration crowd
I mean.. not really an upside to brag that you won via 3 states.
he skipped a few steps of their age-old plan
1) appoint worthless stooge to run agency
2) let stooge run the agency into the ground
3) wait for people to hate the now overbudget and ineffective agency
4) eliminate the agency
Lollllllll
*talks shit* "I'm strong!" *folds like a card table*
This is like when he went Mexico, but didn't discuss his wall while there.
Guess Trump got tired of winning so much.

Is this gerrymandering or are they just really bad at coming together geographically.
This also sounds like a ringing endorsement for PR elections.
