I'm at a Town Hall for Sen Cassidy (R-LA)

Even though this is a large venue, they only let 200 inside. There are over 1,000 of us outside protesting, all Democrats. I only saw 4 Trumpsters and they left when they learned they couldn't get in.

What are these chicken shit republicans afraid of? Why hold a meeting and only let 200 in?

The good news: I saw a bunch of pussy hats going in!

I've been reading some articles today about Democrats avoided these like the plague when the Tea Baggers were all in a tizzy about the black man in the White House.

Yesterday there was one in Denham Springs, but I heard that Cassidy did not take questions.

The scene inside was described as 'uncontrolled chaos'. Apparently Cassidy was booed almost every time he spoke!

Lots of speakers talking about various issues, mostly about saving the ACA.

On the ride home I heard on local radio that inside it was 'uncontrolled chaos'. Lots of booing!
