A post from someone in attendance at last night's MTG town hall [View all]

One reply lends a bit of additional context:

I was born and raised in her district. The fact her constituents behaved this way comes as no surprise to me and is one reason I left.

BTW, she's not from there and has done absolutely nothing for her district. She's simply a wrecking ball her voters sent to Washington - and they love it because they are a deeply cynical lot.
