into my office are from peopleeo who are concerned about thingsbi president trump is doing.is doig and they're very different groups of people. so, um, you know, it was one set of folks were concerned for theo first four years and now a and n completely different set ofet o folks are concerned.rned have the yum of calls into our office about things has gone upp in some instances eight or nine times over what was the volume l we were used to just two orr three months ago. especially around some of themef nominees. not all of them but some of them especially.. the russian cyber hacking of tht american presidential election e and then thing that i think is s the biggest that you mentioned i the effort to repeal thel affordable care act. so many virginians are telling i me that would be an absoluteute disaster. fix it, improve it, repair it don't repeal it in way thatay ta would cause 30 million peoplee the combined populations of 19li states to lose health insurancen >> i want to switch ar
