Charleston SC Town Hall Meeting 2017

Rep. Mark Sanford and Sen Tim Scott
"You're our last hope[...]" This is a statement to Rep. Mark Sanford (SC) about dealing with The Donald.

Town hall meetings that have been a big part of the news lately. There have been some great questions and statements that have been posed to the Republican representatives.

A person must be disheartened when the Charleston SC crowd groans over a woman asking about ACA issues and then screams "Change of subject!" and then attacks Sen. Tim Scott about The Donald. Tim Scott is then questioned about the nomination of Betsy Devos.

Tim Scott stated that he has always supported "school choice" as part of his platform. The problem is Senator, that just because you have a platform that a person generally supports it doesn't mean that the person supports all the parts of your platform. My question is "if your constituency disagrees with a part of your platform ,but not your whole platform, are they required to accept the faulty part of your platform or do you demand that they remove you, Senator Scott?"

The questions, from the video available, centered on Donald Trump impeachment, Betsy Devos and congress' lack of listening to constituency, and the ACA repeal.

I must say that Rep. Mark Sanford and Sen. Tim Scott carried themselves very well in the face of a hostile crowd. 

Senators and Representatives, I must agree that you are our last hope and we NEED you to be impartial. Republicans impeached Bill Clinton over adultery and said it was because he didn't represent the US citizens properly. Republicans said they WOULD impeach Hillary Clinton, if she were elected over her server. Now they have a Republican President that has an unsecured server and uses his unsecured phone, looks at official documents at an unsecured location, and has many implications of connections to a foreign country and uses his office to profit from the American people*.  Any one of these issues would stop a Republican congress in it's Tracks for a Democratic President, but congress is not willing to even probe a Republican President who has done so much to require a second look.


Friends, write your congressperson and let them know that it is important to you,if you agree. Let them know if you disagree.



*The secret service has to pay for rooms wherever the president or his family goes, in this case it is a Trump resort. Even if he has given up all his claim to the Trump empire, his family does profit from the American Public due to his office which is illegal according to the Justice Department
