It will annoy him, sure. I don't know why a single R legislator would be spooked only by large march in Manhattan.https://twitter.com/nw3/status/860123037387157505 …

Tea Party is a very successful movement. It had a real grassroots—and it was smart, strategic. But it also got funded. "Resistance"? Not so.
