So, Trump can spout crude insults for over a year and those asking his administration to show a little humanity are the ones who should apologize? Now, the Trumpsters are trying to start a Hamilton boycott, a show that is sold out a year in advance. Good luck with that.

If anything, the show will be sold out even farther into the future.

Someone should thank Trumpence for the free publicity and comp some tickets for these whiney punks.

Wish I could take credit for it but it was something I ran across elsewhere.

The more the entertainers support the Dems and condemn Republicans the more votes for Republicans. Cool.

They were not condemning republicans. They were condemning racism.

Zero represents amoral power-seekers, who don't give SNAP for racism. His comment, you will note, was amoral, touching not on Pence's positions, or the content of the address to him, but simply on a calculation of support gained.

And it wasn't the actors who booed. That was a spontaneous eruption from the audience. The cast's address to Pence was civil, well mannered and thoughtful. I cant's help thinking the alt. right's conniption has as much to do with a black man addressing Pence on equal terms. That and he used some big words.

Actually, I have no idea what the play is about, who the actors are, or what they said. Simply that they were rude to Pence in a non political setting.

I suspect that more people don't like that kind of thing than do, so keep at it.
