Sign of the Times: Collins a NO-SHOW at Portland town hall, runs for the hills

[reagansghost]

none of these Trump toadies can even walk the streets of their districts...…...America hates your daddy teabillies, suck it …..


More than 100 Mainers gathered at the Portland Public library Tuesday evening and fired off questions about GOP tax cuts for the wealthy, the precariousness of the Affordable Care Act’s patient protections, judicial oversight, opioid response, and reproductive rights to an empty chair stationed at the front of the room.

The chair was set out for Senator Susan Collins, who declined an invitation from Sanford resident Connie Garber to come to the public meeting to discuss her voting record. It was the first of two open forums organized by the progressive 16 Counties Coalition and the national Town Hall Project and it showcased the distance Collins has put between herself and her constituents.

The Town Hall Project said it was interested in getting Collins in front of voters because she had not taken questions in an open public forum since early in her senate career. They told 16 Counties director Willy Ritch, a former communications director for Rep. Chellie Pingree, “‘You got to make it a real, open invitation. You got to make it open to the public. You can’t limit questions. This has to be the real deal,’” Ritch said at the beginning of the meeting.

The town hall also previewed some of the issues that may activate progressive voters to turn out against Collins, who is currently seen as one of the most vulnerable Senate Republicans.

She’s down 16 points. This may be her toughest election to date. Stephen King has vowed to help defeat her.

You have NEVER been right; so there is that.

during the town halls in 2010 before the midterms, tea party bozos stormed every one of the Dem's appearances

during these elections GOP never-Trumpers are storming the GOP town halls
