Presidential politics plays big role at Emmy Awards

Since it often seems like the most entertaining limited series on television, there was little surprise that the presidential campaign made its presence felt at the Emmy Awards.

Jokes and politicking took place onstage and off Sunday. Former Republican candidate Jeb Bush made an appearance in Jimmy Kimmel's opening comedy skit and Hillary Clinton tweeted congratulations to her impersonator, Kate McKinnon of "Saturday Night Live."

It wasn't much of a surprise to hear Trump didn't have many friends in Hollywood.

We didn't even get a chance to change channels in our house ... cause we watch so little television that we didn't even know the garbage broadcast was on ... and we probably would have recognized even one nominated show, actor, actress or whatever else the industry idiots try to honor.

Any of you Freepers want to be that when the Nielsen's come out in a few hours, the media monkeys will discover that this year's circus was another ratings bust?

Couldn’t give a damn either way.

Haven’t watched TV for maybe a year now except some debates and football games where ALL the players stood.

The wife watches all the garbage inside. She’s voting for Trump. But I can’t stomach reality TV. Or TV at all for that matter :)

Wait till Trump wins and damon and clooney and barbera and eva and midler and david find out their opinions dont mean ####. oh yeah, and Bruce and Bon Jovi

I haven’t watched the Emmy’s or any award shows in over 30 years because it has always been the left bashing conservatives.

The entertainment industry is the only one that needs an awards ceremony of one kind or another every two months. The need to constantly pat each other on the back and massage their egos is all they’ve got going for them other than drugs, sex and booze.

Thank you Donald Trump for saving us from the somnambulant amnesty vs amnesty election they had planned for us.

Low energy Yeb! vs comatose illary.

For the millionth time, this is why Donald simply being elected is more important than anything he will actually do as President: His election would be an absolute defeat of Hollywood, the MSMedia and both corrupt parties.
