Perhaps Scott Gessler should consider the reason Senator Cory Gardner faces a fierce uprising among voters. Inexcusably bad behavior aside, what does Sen Gardner expect when all he is capable of is spouting party line rhetoric? Voters might be forgiven for being infuriated after he repeatedly assured them that he was thinking deeply about health care, that he hadn't made up his mind, that he was considering all options, and then repeatedly voted lock-step with his party to repeal the ACA. If Sen Gardner cared to build some trust and rapport with those he purportedly serves, he might take a lesson from Rep. Diana DeGette. Last February, two weeks after the inauguration, at a lengthy town hall meeting she addressed 1,000 angry constituents, people no less enraged than those Sen Gardner faced. She weathered the storm, calmed the crowd and was able to continue. How'd she do it? She had the courage to tell the truth. Cowardice, as Sen Gardner is discovering, produces different consequences.
