How many of you here voted for me? That would put things in perspective and help the debate.

1. No.
They should start it with "How many of you live in my district?"

If they live in the district who they voted for shouldn't matter, they are still a constituent. I live in a Repuke's district, I have as much right to question him (civilly though it would be hard) as someone who voted for him.
