Yes. And I don't demonize these representatives. I honor their service. I went out there, but I lived through this. I went to the town halls during the ACA and I made a full throated defense of President Obama's health care bill. And I got reelected. Now, it was a tough fight, but I got reelected. These folks are not going out there and I'll tell you, it's a huge mistake. Democrats did this in 2010. (08:17–08:23)
