The headlines this week read: "Republican Lawmakers Face Hostile Town-Hall Crowds" in the Atlantic, "GOP Town Halls Are Getting Flooded with Angry Constituents" in Mother Jones, and "Angry political meetings ignite US town halls" in the Financial Times.

The network and cable news stories are no different, highlighting congressional Republicans facing fiery, sometimes volatile constituents either unhappy with their congressional members or still burning from the November election results.The question is, will these dramatic events have the same disruptive impact that the Tea Party had on Democrats in 2010? Or are these just people unhappy with Donald Trump's election as president?

I think those 'angry constituents' may be Dem plants. And I'm not sure how much Trump will ba a factor in a district election. Nonetheless, this could be an interesting campaign.
