Apparently so.

Sasse besieged at Elkhorn town hall


ELKHORN -- Sen. Ben Sasse stepped into a buzzsaw of opposition to the House Republican health care reform plan Friday along with sharp criticism of President Donald Trump's budget proposals during a contentious town hall meeting with more than 700 constituents.

Sasse was confronted by hostile questions and often interrupted by shouting or occasional boos as he stood alone on the Elkhorn South High School auditorium stage responding to questions during a noisy 90-minute session.
A vast majority of the participants who attended the early-morning event at the western edge of Omaha raised their hands when Sasse at one point asked how many people would prefer a system of socialized medicine.
