getting shouted at at a town hall. spicer could not be more wrong, nor could the white house or republicans who are trying to dismiss this. this reflects a bigger point. this was not a mandate election for donald trump. he did lose the popular vote and half of america wants to keep the aca. they probably want to fix it. you know, the bigger issue going on here as well is if you're spicer or republicans taking on the voters instead of taking on the issues, voters see through that. republicans are being asked to do these town halls, they're going out there to try to defend repeal. but chris, dirty little secret, and i have been in the meetings in congress. there is no replacement plan. >> right. >> there's been six years to come up with this. there is not one. if you're a republican member, you have nothing to rely on except saying less government and free markets. >> that's a great point and i want to return to that. i think that cuts both ways, carin, here's my question to you. if we can put up that tom cotton b roll a

but are you going to host a town hall. >> good to see you, man. >> a town hall today?nator, we need to hear from you. we're your constituents. >> congressman, what do you say to fellow republicans who are not holding town halls and talking to their constituents? >> well, i wouldn't second guess any of the decisions of my colleagues with respect to their constituencies. i can tell you i find them very useful in exchanging ideas and listening to the concerns. i mean, there are legitimate concerns that people have that we need to address. after all, we're going to be judged by the health plan that we put in place. and there is no way to spend that. you can't use talking points on something like that. people know fundamentally what's going on in their own lives. and any politician or pundit who tries to convince them otherwise is going to look foolish. we've got to get this right. >> congressman sanders, i just had him on, he had a very different view. he said you're elected to hear what people have to say. i want to make the point. you've held the town halls. be you're cu

frankly the town hall meetings i had during obamacare town hall eruptions were probably, in some wayshey weren't happy with you no matter where you were. and on the issue. so i think we will probably see something like this going forward for a while and again, that is okay. it's actually much more healthy for people to be engaged in civic activity and legitimate diskept th d dissent than not participating at all or resorting to some sort of violence and we don't have that going on at all. >> representative cole, i'm just curious what your schedule is coming up regarding town halls. are you going to add more to your schedule or are you planning on waiting until the august recess? >> we normally do them in april and august, particularly august, because we have three, four weeks where you can really schedule them out. and so that is what we do. but we have, you know, lots of public events. again, three chamber meetings that were all open to the public yesterday. but we kept a very vigorous schedule and that is okay. you know? we meet with people in smaller groups if they want to come int

just not the traditional town halls.senator who opted for an online town hall fehall v v via facebook live. one had days where he shadows different workers at their respective jobs. he's up for reelection in 2018. democratic strategists are telling me that this is an opportunity to avoid those more brash town halls which are simply just too risky right now. they see no upside in putting themselves in a position where an exchange with an angry pro p -- protester could go viral. there's another reason why some democrats want to hold off on town halls right now. >> i think they are avoiding stepping on the anti-republican story. because it is the republican town halls that have become very controversial and it's video clips from those town halls that have made it on to the national news night after night. so if a democrat has a town hall and it turns messy, that steps on the story. that makes it a bipartisan story probably less interesting or less potent politically. >> reporter: they don't want to step on the story. a demo
