Went to a Grassley town hall today. The guy won't give a straight answer [View all]
He was confronted by several in the audience on allowing a vote on a SCOTUS nominee. We got several versions of a lecture on the process. When asked directly if he would let a vote take place we got one more lecture on Obama's role and the role of the Senate and how he and Leahy and Schumer work together.
Some young folks when asking kept interrupting to turn him back to their question and he gave them a lecture on manners and how Q&A worked. One young lady was really frustrated.
He did accidentally say there would be no vote on the TPP before the election. It may be in the local paper. My friend and I looked at each other in amazement.
Other subjects included climate change caused by humans (evasive answer), social security (lecture on the current state of the system and how Reagan handled it), on and on - no answers just some general answers sort of related to the question.
When he was called on his non-answers (about 4 times) he got into a snit, said he was answering and then continued his mental wanderings.
Probably great theater if you're a Republican.
