I'm old enough to remember the 2009 - 2010 townhalls by the tea party protesting the ACA ...

Republicans did this to President Obama for what he was. Democrats do this to Donald Trump for what he is. Turnabout is fair play.

Two Presidencies, two bookends ... I'm more and more convinced that Trump is the other side of the Obama coin in many ways.

Every time one of these town halls is disrupted, Republican representatives reveal how tin-eared they are. Instead of engaging with the concerns of protesters, they claim that they are a tiny minority or anarchists (?) or "professional protesters". Maybe this is rhetoric and they're actually concerned but, in any case, this does not bode well for them heading into November. Displaying contempt for your constituents in public is usually a losing strategy.
