No one at Mike Coffman's town hall liked his support for the bill, and no one thinks it's dead.

I attended Rep. Mike Coffman's town hall in Aurora, a Denver suburb, on Wednesday night, and this was the biggest takeaway: No one is very happy with his support of the House Trumpcare bill. Even his Republican supporters told me they didn't like it, either because it worsened existing problems or because it didn't go far enough.

Of course, there were also dozens of very angry liberals questioning Coffman about protections for those with pre-existing conditions and the newly insured. During the nearly two-hour event, the conversation kept coming back to health care. And everyone at the event seemed to agree on one thing: Trumpcare isn't dead.
