I remember when I was a young chap in Frankston in the early 70s my dad took me to an ALP candidate's packed public meeting at (possibly) the Mornington High auditorium.
There was a Liberal Party heckler in the crowd, and whatever he yelled at the candidate, the candidate gave back twice as good, much to the amusement and gratitude of the rest of the audience. This went on for a long time.
Meanwhile in the United States, one of the "leading" GOP candidates stubbed their toe on 'What caused the Civil War?' and was whining about Democratic plants in the crowd.
Brutal.
(Leading is in quotes, because Trumpy is going to romp home, but the New York Times can't give up its horse-race nonsense. Free link btw.)

#Congress is so broken it canβt even remove artwork that honors #enslavers and #confederates. And shame on Rep. James Clyburn, one of the most senior African-Americans in Congress, for not even responding to a request to comment on this article.
