In reply to the discussion: Intense moment: Frightened man w/ immune disease confronts GOP Rep James Comer of KY [View all]still_one
(92,190 posts)16. I don't know if you had time to read the whole article, but he had a total of three
town halls, and the first one was described in the OP, but the final two town halls were completely supportive of trump and the ACA, so by the time he finished his series of town halls you are left with the impression that the first negative town hall was all but forgotten.
In districts like this, unless the people in that district are adversely affected, they are not going to change there minds, and that will only happen after the damage has been down to them.
I am reminded by a blue collar worker who did an ad for Ronald Reagan for his first term. When the time came for Reagan to run for his second term, that worker had subsequently lost his job. Ironically, that same worker this time did an ad for Walter Mondale.
