'Try actually fighting': Democrats face voters' fury at town halls
(CNN) - "Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response."
"Arizona Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego were told to 'fight dirtier' and 'get in the mud' with Republicans...'We want you to show some of the backbone and strategic brilliance that Mitch McConnell would have in the minority,' a man told Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey...'They should try actually fighting for once. They should try to actually be the opposition party,' an attendee groused to CNN at a town hall held by Illinois Rep. Sean Casten."
"The sharp criticism from voters comes as Democrats are out of power across all levels of the federal government and lacking a clear leader, exposing deep divisions along ideological and tactical lines over the party’s direction. The schism emerging within the party on the heels of a contentious government funding fight has prevented the caucus from uniting behind a single strategy to counter Trump and attempt to make political inroads ahead of next year’s midterm elections."

and may I say this kind of person TRULY makes me feel sick:
Kindergarten teacher Tomi Sue Wille said she supports Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education but worries that crucial federal funding for special needs children won’t reach her students.
“I do believe that Congress needs to take some control in making sure how that funding is still distributed to the states,” Wille told CNN.
