I would like to point out to the protestors at Congressman Vern Buchanan's town hall that the people of this congressional district overwhelmingly voted for President Trump. By working to repeal and replace Obamacare, President Trump is making good on a campaign promise. The protesters are a minority and crybaby losers. It is amusing to see them emerge from their safe spaces to attend the town hall and shout down anyone who disagrees with them.
