    The GOP are cowards, we all know that. Except for McCain. That little Cuban cockaroach Marco Rubio is the worst.

    There is no need not to hold town halls. Yes, the left is dangerous. Yes, there's a chance of violence. But if you take the necessary precautions and promptly remove any disruptions. There's no reason to believe you'll be the next Gabby or any other politician who's been shot. Buck up, Republicans.

    Well, so the true colors show up. How sweet. This rep IS a coward, but we should avoid painting with a broad brush.

    Libs organize to ambush politicians, resort to mob rule, shout them down, whine when the victim does not show up... think they are clever and score points. Too funny :roflol:

    Look at all the violence the anti-Trump Hillary supporters started at Trumps rally's. Since it's obvious most of them have gone round the bend, Republicans should cancel all town-halls till further notice.

    Why is there a need to stand in front of a rowdy crowd. Simply set up a 60 inch led and video conference the meeting, for Christ sakes it's 2017 lets take advantage of technology! Is it really that important to suffer thru 100 different perfumes, aftershaves, colognes and BO with a touch of tobacco?

    And don't forget the old school Liberal and their over saturation in Petrulli Oil!

    Because the constituents, you remember the dregs who are represented, want them, & the leaders SHOULD feel obligated to do so really?

    Beef up security, & grow a set.

    Nah that's not a reason, the same thing can be accomplished with a microphone, monitor and a town meeting room. There is absolutely no real reason to be present in the flesh other than the risk of bodily harm! I think 2016 has more than shown us the potential for violence at political rallies and protest so the justification for alternatives is more than merited. Besides the risks what is actually being accomplished at these meeting, clearly the advantage goes to the gang, screaming and constant interruption when a answer to a question is attempted! So why stand there when all the idiots and paid instigators want is a target to scream at, just give them a life size manikin that will produce the same gangs desired effect!

    Doesn't that really jut say that Republican politicians are simply snowflakes (I believe that this the current pejorative implying fear) and refuse to meet with constituents based on paranoid delusions of victimhood? Because to date it seems the harshest thing these folks have had to face is the words of people whom they are trying to figuratively screw.
