As I've heard multiple talking heads say to Dem guests "it's not just republican reps who are facing angry constituents at townhalls. The Dems are getting a lot of angry feedback too."
There is a common denominator here, folks. The angry voters at the R townhalls and the angry voters at the D townhalls are NOT splitting their anger evenly among the parties. This is NOT another opportunity for corporate journalists to both sides the situation.
The voters at both R and D townhalls want the SAME THING. They want their reps to stand up to trump. So it's not the "own" you think it is to try to use this as a gotcha against Dems. It's a slam against trump no matter how you frame it, and another sign that he is historically unpopular.

(805 posts)...and you are right. Both sides in the town halls want the same thing: reign in the Megalomaniac who thinks he is an absolute monarch.

(291 posts)gave Krasnov a 39% approval rating. "ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found that Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, with only 39 percent of respondents saying they approve of Trumps term thus far."

(21,759 posts)The Dems unfavourability is because of the progressives thinking that they're not resisting enough, not because more people are turning to the R's. Kind of like when Obamacare used to get bad ratings because all the R's were brainwashed to hate it, and the Dems thought it didn't go far enough. But those two groups together and you have a majority.
