Paul Ryan Still Hasn't Had a Real Town Hall Meeting.
But he knows how to pretend he has! From his email on Friday (which includes a link to the coverage of his controlled CNN town hall that even limited attendance by the media):
Paul works for you – that’s why he regularly meets with businesses, families, and students across Southern Wisconsin to talk about the issues you care about and what he can do to help solve your problems. At his most recent town hall event in Racine, Paul answered a wide range of questions from constituents. Here are some of his answers about President Trump’s strategy in Afghanistan, Foxconn’s move to Wisconsin, tax reform, and the recent events in Charlottesville.
And then here’s the link to his preferred CNN Town Hall coverage: Ryan talks issues with voters during CNN town hall meeting
It’s been reported that Speaker Paul Ryan hasn’t held any real town halls (in over 600 days) because he doesn’t want protestors brought in from other districts…he just wants to speak with his own constituents. Well I am sorry to say that he no longer has that luxury. Unlike Rep. James Sensenbrenner or Rep. Gwen Moore…who are simply members of the House…Rep. Ryan is the Speaker of the House…and he now represents ALL Americans in the U.S. House of Representatives. Maybe he’s just not up to the task?

The RWer who was inexplicably reelected in my district has done much the same thing, doesn't post her schedule until after the fact because she's afraid that protesters will show up. And Paul Ryan is her "mentor." 
as to what strategies are used by politicians and note the similarities. 
And though it's New York, this is a largely rural district. Of course it's doesn't help that we were redistricted. District 20 - which encompassed more populous counties to the south - elected Kirsten Gillibrand. Now we're part of District 21 which includes the Adirondack North Country. However, her predecessor was a moderate Democrat - who retired.
There have been quite a few protests, which explains why she doesn't publicize her whereabouts, but how can she represent constituents that she persists in avoiding?? My question has been - where were these angry constituents in November?? She had already served 2 years, so they knew what they were getting.
