NEW YORK (AP) - From Montana to West Virginia, the nation's most vulnerable Senate Democrats are avoiding town hall meetings as their Republican counterparts get pummeled by an energized electorate frustrated with President Donald Trump's early agenda.

Some Democrats prefer to connect with constituents over the telephone or using social media. Others are meeting voters in controlled environments with limited opportunities to ask questions. But few of the 10 Democratic senators facing re-election next year in states carried by Trump have scheduled in-person town hall meetings during this week's congressional recess.

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill declined an invitation to attend a town hall organized by a group called Kansas City Indivisible this weekend, deciding to send a staff member in her place. The two-term senator, up for re-election next year in a state Trump won by nearly 19 percentage points, is scheduled to chat with voters next week on Facebook Live.

"Seems to me that all these members of Congress are afraid to face their constituents," said Hillary Shields, a volunteer organizer with the Kansas City group.

The cautious approach comes as Senate Democrats work to limit risks ahead of a challenging 2018 election season. After claiming the Senate majority in 2014, Republicans could win a filibuster-proof 60-vote Senate majority next year in an election in which Democrats are defending 25 seats (23 held by Democrats, two by independents), 10 of them in states carried by Trump.

The GOP has a 52-48 edge in the Senate.

The liberal media has made it extremely popular to coddle Democrats by making Trump constantly sound like the bad guy. Nearly everything he does is faced with criticism from the media, despite many presidents doing the exact same thing in the past.

The press ran all over Trump for waning to improve border security, remove violent illegal aliens and build a border wall, when Bill Clinton said exactly the same thing in his 1995 State of the Union address (but he didn’t receive this kind of hate from the media). Now, the media has people up in arms about a travel and immigration “ban” when in fact it is a 90 day period to help establish screening regulations.

Most of the news sites around the country have focused almost exclusively on people being detained at airlines. Of course, they don’t say anything about a massive Delta computer outage that caused much of this in the first place. Instead, the blame is placed on Trump while the visuals of crying immigrant women and children from war torn countries appear on the screen.

The problem with this is not all immigrants actually think the travel ban is bad. Polls show most Americans actually agree with Donald Trump’s travel ban actions. However, the “news” is more business than actual news these days. Stations don’t want to give you just the full facts of the case, instead they present one side only.

In fact, major news outlet ABC was caught editing out the praises of refugees on President Trump.

This arse clown wasn't a U S Senator. Think about what former senator would waste his time here?

He damn sure wasn't from Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama. Its easy to confirm. What senator served only under Reagan.

Would John Lewis be a civil rights icon,
if Democrat James Earl Ray had not shot Martin Luther King in Memphis ?

Yes it was a Democrat that killed M L K.

Hillary could have gotten white men out, but the white men
were not going out to vote an old lesbian.
