I don't see why people are buying into Trumps tweet, he's just doing what he does best, Slight Of Hand watch what this in is doing why the other other one is covering something up.. The real story is why did he pay out Trump Uni students only $6,000 on a course fee worth $30,000 ?

Trump and his supporters: A whole lot of ugly coming from an endless parade of stupid.

I agree. I honestly think that what that cast did was rude. I can't stand Pence, I think he's a real low-life, but if he payed for admission they shouldn't harass him. Rude. JMO.

Did he pay $700 plus and get the ticket from Ticketmaster the way you would or did he get the ticket because of his vp-elect status? If the latter, he was attending the show as a vp-elect not a common theatergoer.

Also, he was in no way HARRASSED. Watch the video. My God, some people just insist on living their lives fact-free

Exactly. If people were a bit more honest about the truth and reality of the world, it would be a much better place.

The question is, weren't he the vp-elect, would he still be able to purchase the ticket?

No. House seats are not held for people like you or I.

So apparently, Trump people are protesting outside the theater right now, holding American Flags.

He called to the show's office in the afternoon to get his tickets. Good to hear he paid for them. But ordinary folks like us cannot call the office in the afternoon of the show to get tickets! Buy tickets months in advance, cancellation line, lottery, resell...that's how we go about it. Since he is VP Elect he got tickets that way, otherwise no way!!!

Dancingthrulife2--Not at all.  I am a Democrat and voted for Hillary.  It was just so wrong and inappropriate for a statement to be made at any type of performance to an audience member for no reason.

When an audience member is causing a distraction or speaking out of turn, it is appropriate for a performer to heckle and  be proactive to stop the inappropriate talking or behavior.  This wasn't the case at all here, however.  The VP elect simply attended the show to take as a regular audience member.  The cast was completely out of line.  It was the same as if he would have attended a comedy club show and been heckled for no reason by the comic on stage.

Prior to the election he may have been able to get House seats for being on the Republican ticket. Sanders got House seats during the primary season.  So I think it's not being VP-elect specifically that got them for him, but it's still his political position.

The more Trump supporters speak/behave, the more I'm convinced they're simply not a very bright bunch. I hope they bought their Starbucks!

Hi Jordan, I think that also happened last night. It was a protest flash mob with said mob waving Trump signs and American flags.

I kinda want to go join them and secretly get them to say stupid sh*t on camera.

That would be funny. I bet almost none of them would be able to even describe what actually happened/what Dixon said (accurately, at least).

It wouldn't be a bit funny. Just a sad example of the ignorance of Trump devotees and a clear demonstation of how he "won" this election.

Mark Harris at Vulture wrote a nice essay about what happened:

"Little incidents can come packed with big meaning. The Hamilton episode touched on LGBTQ issues, which were shamefully underdiscussed during the campaign and remain so now. It touched on immigration; on race; on the impact and value of protest speech; on the president-elect’s temperament; on his demands for opponents to capitulate; on his disdain for First Amendment freedoms (his quartet of Hamilton tweets was consistent with his post-election attacks on public protestors and on the New York Times); and on the worries of several large populations that the Trump administration will demonize them and make them less safe...

What [Trump] doesn’t understand is that anybody who walks through the doors of a theater should be prepared to have preconceptions challenged, beliefs questioned, certitudes shaken, ideas adjusted, worldviews broadened, and perspectives shifted. People who consider that a threat to their safety should probably stay away from theater and the rest of popular culture altogether. For the rest of us, that’s not only safe, it’s essential."

I still can't get past Trump demanding an apology from the Hamilton cast.  Is this really what the next four years are going to be like?  Barking orders to private citizens via tweets?  The guy is a lunatic.  None of this is a surprise, but it just gets sadder by the minute.

You, my friend, are the divide.

What really divides the country is beliefs some people hold that go against the very ideals upon which it was founded and serve to justify their myopic vision of greatness and mask their jingoistic vanity.
