As usual, circumstances beyond the Senator's control are seized on by political opponents. The press pays no attention to these silly complaints. I applaud Senator Gardner for taking time out of his busy day to connect with constituents back home.
Yeah, Moldy, I bet you enjoy entering your pet pig named Cory in greased pig contests too. Both make the same sound when people try to catch either of them.
"I applaud Senator Gardner….."
Isn't that what you are paid to do?
Moldy gives Cory "a hand" all the time, don't you know?
The word of the say is dictate.
Hey nutlid, how does Cory's dictate?
You mean make a show of connecting with constituents back home. Don't you nutlid?
Stay the course Senator. Stick with your soda fountain of justice. Your constituents will thank you. By voting you out.
That's really the best you can do to defend Senator Coward? Damn, Moddy, your game is soft

The sound of one plant clapping.
Moldy is right. Servicing the septuagenarian funders so they pry open their checkbooks and keep alive the GOPe and status quo in the DC swamp takes time and attention. Bannon on the right, 69% of the electorate on the other side… its an important time to be sucking up to the Kochs.
The "constituents" ought to be damn grateful they got to listen to the Senator dodge questions and spin homilies for 22 minutes! Why were they EVEN on the call? They ought to be working a little harder so they can pay to explode the deficit, and pay for corporate tax breaks, and get off the health care, I mean bailouts, already!
So The Con Man will bump up his tally of "Town Halls" by at least two, right? Just because no one is able to show up doesn't matter…
This was deliberate misinformation. Gardner posted the tweet about the 10/19 10 am tele-town hall on October 18 at 10:35 am. The Senate vote schedule had been set since Gardner made a motion at 10 pm on October 18, (per CSPAN record) for the Senate to come back to business at 9:30 on the 19.
Since Washington DC time is 2 hours earlier than Mountain Time, there would have been plenty of time for Gardner to get on the call at either 7:15 (for the 9:15 MT call time) or at 8 am DC time for the 10 am MT call.
Yet, Gardner's tweets and instagram accounts posted both contradictory times. The 10 am was listed on the Tweet itself (posted above), and the 9:15 am call "adjustment" was visible only when one clicked on the gardner.senate.gov link to sign up for the call.
The Senate vote schedule did not interfere with the call. This was bullshit – an attempt by Gardner to confuse his constituents about the actual time of the call, and make most of them miss getting on the call.
That's pathetic, when a sitting Senator resorts to such pathetic stratagems to avoid hearing his constituents real thoughts on tax and health care policies that will make their lives more difficult.
This was deliberate misinformation
Of course it is. It's his Moderatus Operandi. His next town hall meeting will be via the psychic hotline.
He should grow a pair and go back to Durango to face his constituents.
Nah. He'll go to Yuma and stay holed up there. Yeah Cory, it's tough, but it's what you signed up for.
Audio: Gardner's series of vacuous monologues in response to intelligent questions from constituents on 10/19/17. I don't think this deserves the courtesy of being called a "town hall", as there was no give and take, no risk on Gardner's part, no follow-up questions, no opportunity for rebuttal.
Certainly Gardner avoided answering these pointed questions, and in some cases, he actually lied. If I get time this weekend, I'll do a Q&A summary.
But you can judge for yourself: Here's the soundcloud link, courtesy of Jason Salzman and the BigMedia folks. Thanks, Jason
