He beat Manzullo, who was actually very conservative. If you think Adam is dumb, Manzullo was dumber. He did have town halls, and he was never very well prepared.

Adam is reacting to the pushback he is getting. He is getting calls to his offices, letters and postcards. People show up to protest at his events. Of course, the only events he attends are friendly ones, like Farm Bureau and Chamber of Commerce. His only town hall was a joke, tightly controlled, and not a real town hall.

Adam expects to run with no opposition. Sarah Dady ran a professional campaign against him and did well. I think Dani may do even better. The way I see it, Adam thinks he has to show some opposition to trump in order to keep his job. Talk is cheap. Watch what he does, not what he says.

Have you ever really watched him? All that swaggering and man spreading is getting old. We have to keep pointing out to his constituents that he is arrogant and not terribly bright. The woman who is running against him is very bright.

Let's keep him scared. He will make mistakes.
