Republicans everywhere have taken to town halls trying to sell a package that Americans aren’t buying: cuts to Medicare to pay for tax cuts for the super-rich. Here are five powerful rejections.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – A popular radio host, Nicole Sandler, is arrested at a town hall meeting for insisting on asking questions.
