What I enjoy is hosts on MSNBC pontificating about what and how Republicans SHOULD act..what choices they SHOULD make to 'win'...

It's like the Cleveland Indians lecturing the Cubs how to play baseball...

Democrats are clueless in their arrogance... idiots. Don't they know their actions ARE the reason we're winning?

FWIW, looking at those figures, I was thinking just the opposite.

Good question. If you really want a kick, you should read the piece in the NYT about Melania Trump’s sartorial taste.

Just imagine— even in a $1,500 blouse, Melania looks like she went on a shopping spree, rather than having someone “dress her.”

How does this NYT fashion writer imagine this sounds to most Americans? Or does she think that her fellow Manhattanites have the only opinions that matter?

It's fun watching four liberals on the same MSNBC or CNN ‘news show’ TALKING FROM THE SAME BORING TALKING POINTS.

Showcasing liberal elties as the idiots they are... it's fun to watch.

None of them express an idea that's NOT written out for them...don't YOU enjoy that pravious?

Top that off with liberal arrogance - which is especially funny considering Democrats have been losing everything for the past 8 years: lost the Presidency, the Senate, the House, vast majority of Governorships and two thirds of State Legislatures... And still they speak with force and haughtiness - as if speaking to losers, rather than the winners.

If a crowd of people booed a Democrat president-elect, the media would pounce on the lack of civility and respect for the office of the presidency.

In this case, however, expect the rude behavior to be defended if not championed, and for the blame to be deflected back to Trump, e.g., "The recent booing of Vice-President-elect Mike Pence at a New York theatre was an unfortunate manifestion of post-election emotions, but Donald Trump must assume responsibility for creating a climate in which such actions are not only possible, but likely, and for arousing fears that basic civil rights are in jeopardy."

I can just hear the press pontificating in such a manner. Damn, I think I could write the NYT editorials for them, they are so predictable.

Melania is far and away the best-looking First Lady in modern times, perhaps ever, and dresses elegantly and often expensively. She speaks five languages and is - lo and behold - an IMMIGRANT.

A Democratic clone of her would be treated as a return to the Camelot of the Kennedy years, would be absolutely worshipped, but expect Melania to be trashed, nitpicked, demonized, mocked, and shunned.

I agree, find some laws under which they can be sued, as a sitting Governor and private citizen.

Leave to the commies at the Guardian to make their headline an outright lie.

Trump told the cast to apologize, not the audience.

“The good news that surfaces from this hate, is that these fools and idiots continue the continuing, marching, coming destruction of the Democrat party!!!”

It’s a good point. These actors, comically and unwittingly, just created thousands and thousands of more Trump supporters.

When I saw the title I was concerned. Then I read the blurb and saw the title was incorrect.

With free speech, the AUDIENCE (general public) should be free to boo. Imagine if OJ Simpson after being acquitted was in there, or Hillary Clinton. The President should not call for shutdown of free speech.

However, President elect Trump wants the PRODUCTION / CAST of Hamilton to apologize and they should. The audience paid good money and what happens on stage is what they paid for. The cast doing what they did for political reasons is appalling. No matter who was in the audience.

But they are shallow and ignorant and they won’t apologize.

"When white guys dress up as black guys there is a incredibly huge political reaction and charges of cultural appropriation. Hamilton is a play where black guys dress up as white guys . . . "

Just wondering: is there a plot-point or thematic reason for the actors being black, e.g., are they trying to show how history would have been different if black men had been in the position of Hamilton and his cronies, or are they black just because it was deemed cool or edgy to make them black?

Part of me wants Trump to shut up and stop acting to thin-skinned.

Trump is not "thin skinned". He is fighting back! I heard this complaint throughout the campaign. Trump won by fighting back! I'm glad he does. I think those who are offended by it are too thin skinned.

After reading the starement bolded, it hit me how the cast was focused on the word DIVERSE.

To divert, you need something to divert FROM. This whole diverse thing is not a push for America to be colorblind like the dream of MLK, and how I grew up. They want to demonize white people. It is now not ok among the left to be born with white skin.

A few years ago I had an opportunity to take my now departed mom to see a concert by a 60’s British pop duo. The concert was part of a series of shows produced by a friend.

The show began as the two came out on stage and chose to have an “inspirational” moment with the audience - by telling us what a bunch of provincial rubes we Americans were. They had obviously rehearsed this as their style was smooth and smarmy enough that many in the audience didn’t realize the offense.

Then they launched into politics. It was 2012 and our national election was looming. I live in a predominantly center-right town and when these two klowns started promoting Ødumbo and disparaging Romney the words were out of my mouth before I even realized what I said...

“Shut up and sing!”

The reaction was mixed - some audience members glared, some applauded. Many urged the duo to get on with it. One of the two took great umbrage at my taunt and acted like he was too offended to possibly continue. My promoter buddy walked out on stage and quietly reminded them that if they didn’t play they wouldn’t get paid and their hotel room would be cancelled.

They played, all while nursing their butthurt.

Later I apologized to my mom for embarrassing her. She scoffed at that, saying that she wished it had been her scolding them.

Probably they can be returned. If not there is always StubHub.
