Fuck that guy.
Chaffetz:
In Pennsylvania, Meehan was seen as a top contender, but his spokesman noted the prominent role on the House Ways and Means Committee that he would have to give up to run.
Meehan had a nearly $2 million war-chest to mount a credible run and, while his district is considered only GOP-leaning, he’s won reelection with at least 60 percent of the vote since he came to Congress in 2010.
Watched some of Cotton's town hall. They may have moved it around a bunch to try to throw people off, but he's handling the crowd about a million times better than Chaffetz.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz: People at my town hall 'intended to bully and intimidate' me

I don't know a ton about Cotton but I like what I've seen from him so far. Nice to see some fresh faces that have been around the block and who will actually show some balls. Would put Seth Moulton into this category as well.
He also argued that a dollar spent on a wall with Mexico was more important than a dollar spent on anything not related to security. That part was less impressive. Especially when a 7 year old asked him about defunding PBS to build the wall and he just talked about the importance of the wall.
NED, what types of astroturfing did you see in the Tea Party?
