Funny thing is Bacon ancd Collins are both perpetually in the "I'm concerned" caucus yet votes with leadership 24/7. They know how their town halls would go.
Would he? He's strongly anti-abortion and routinely votes for republican economic policy. He voted against Trump's multiple impeachments. He voted for an impeachment inquiry into Biden. Has he ever voted against republican leadership on critical bills?
He might not be a fire breathing insane conservative, but he still is and votes like a deeply conservative individual. He might be a rhetorical fit with us but certainly not an ideological fit, not even close.
A very interesting thing I am noticing with these town hall events:
I am seeing all of them in solid red districts and/or states and less so in swingy districts.
I mean we have yet to see Don Bacon get screamed at or Miller-Meeks for example. We are seeing this happen in ~60% Trump areas.
I think Bacon and Miller Meeks are too cowardly to hold town halls anyway.
Senator Susan Collins hasnтАЩt held a town hall in many years.
SheтАЩs concerned about the reception

Neither has Thom Tillis. Any kind of gathering heтАЩs done is funded by a dark money PAC like the John Locke Foundation with prescreened questions.
If Roy CooperтАЩs his Dem candidate, Tillis canтАЩt do that anymore. HeтАЩll have to actually work to get re-elected.
Might it be worth it to see if Bacon is open to switching parties? He's a better fit in our tent than in theirs at this point.
