“What did you think of the reverse town...” – Santos

What did you think of the reverse town hall?

I didn't like your joke about being the first one unemployed.

That's just a funny line.

Shaving cream and seltzer are funny. Unemployment's not particularly funny.

I've got the Council Chair after this, we could go egg her house. Was there anything that you did like about the town hall?

Oh, sure, but I assume you have plenty of people around to tell you how great you are, and if you don't, you should hire some because they're wonderful.

Yeah. No, we pay a premium for that. Say, are you familiar with the Mommy Problem?

I am.

Do you think I have one?

That's something you're going to have to answer for yourself, because right now, Beltway Arnie is kicking you all around the electoral math, the White House is treating you like a fly on their governmental windshield. And I wonder if it's just Josh, or do you have what it takes to come out of the Candidate Protection Program and start kicking back.
