Can we have a play with this premise?

"a Martian came down from outer space and saw this exchange "

A non-committal, non-judgemental piece of writing merely jotting down observations of how people interacted/reacted during this election cycle.

My brain hurts. I wish someone could've put John P. Wintergreen on the ballot- his was a platform of LOVE!

If people are coming on a Broadway forum, in a discussion about a Broadway event, organized to celebrate one of two political candidates with Broadway songs sung by Broadway performers, and rather than contributing to the discussion of the concert, the numbers, the performances, etc. are merely using it as an excuse to trash said candidate and anyone's who's supporting (in this case) her... Well, I think it would be clear to them who was well ahead in the polls and why. 

 

This thread is the election in a microcosm - a lot of growing enthusiasm (albeit reluctant in some circles), for one candidate (flawed, but who actually stands for something) - as opposed to the disorganized, incoherent, flailing accusations from champions for the other candidate, who has no steady message, no coherent policies, but just a lot of name-calling and mass-blaming (not to mention being a seemingly reprehensible person, who stands for nothing at all but inchoate anger). 

 

Hillary isn't perfect, but she knows her audience.  So do the people who put on tonight's show.  If you're weighing in on a Broadway forum tonight and directing people to go watch conservative and alt-right documentaries as ammo to bolster your position of preferring Trump, then with all due respect, you don't know yours.

There's a lot of crazy in this thread.  I can't imagine how anyone could disparage NPH in that shirt.

While I absolutely don't begrudge you your feelings , are you aware that this isn't the first time this has been done?

I have no idea why someone would hijack this thread with their political views! There are appropriate places to express your opinions not in a Broadway forum! Anyways Broadwayworld.com has a video of LMM and Renee singing a re-imagined Ten Duel Commandments. It's awesome!
