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.

A tax cut for the very very very rich just put tens of millions at risk of early death. These are tiny responses. https://twitter.com/karlskahn/status/860492161892089856 …

Grassroots is here; they show up; they work; they donate. They are organizing. Dem/left/progressive/tech leadership and donor class isn't.
