Mike Pence Gets "Boo'd" at HAMILTON Tonight — Page 6

We are getting underneath your skin now and that makes us happier than winning the Election. Whats the Matter Hamiltonians ? Did Trump and Pence take away your shot ?

The main take away from this episode is not the actions of the cast, nor even the behavior of the audience. The main thing we're seeing here is a President-elect who responded through social media like a petulant child (apparently relying on second hand accounts), proving that he is not yet, and probably never will be, able to pivot from the school yard bully mode of his campaign to something even slightly more presidential. The man is an absolute embarrassment to mankind, and I think we can look forward to his tweeting us with daily reminders of that for the next four years.

The Hamilton cast went high because Pence and his cohorts have gone low...

I am so tired of Trump's whiny Twitter outbursts at anyone who doesn't bow down to him and his administration. And if his little lap dog Pence cannot handle some well-deserved boos and an extremely intelligent speech asking him to be a more inclusive politician then how in hell is he going to handle a true international crisis situation?

For 18 months Trump dished it out. And is proving day after day that he cannot take it. Also, apart from his half-hearted "stop it" on 60 Minutes, Trump has shown very little outrage over the violence and terror being done in his name. Over 400 hate crimes done in his name since the election.

Dixon is a hero.

I think Trump is trying to divert our attention to something else hence starting a quarrel with the Hamilton production! For example, yesterday's news was all about the settlement of his fraudulent Trump U, and today it's all about Hamilton. Also his meeting with the Japanese PM this week, with Ivanka and her husband present. I thought his children were going to manage his businesses in a blind trust (?) Screams conflict of interest to me! And he didn't allow any press in the meeting, so who knows what was discussed!

Trump was always going to cut funding from the arts. Has no one been listening to him speak for the past couple of years? To say that this is the reason that will happen is playing into Trump's game.

Those of you complaining that this happened, I have news for you: This is what America looks like now. Us people of color, us queer people, us immigrants will no longer sit there quietly to entertain you while you go out into the world and destroy us. And we will not apologize to the idiots who don't understand what an important thing the cast and audiences of HAMILTON did last night. Sorry that protecting our rights does not constitute as proper theatre etiquette for you, deal the fvck with it.

Doesn't Trump consider The Apprentice, the Miss Universe pageant or his books art?

Its weird that he would want to cut arts finding since he has been so involved with it.

I would imagine (though I could be wrong) that none of his projects ever benefitted from arts funding, so he considers it a waste.

On a related note, didn't he brag to 60 minutes that he had 22 million followers? He has 15 million. What a stupid thing to lie about.

The signs point to you being the ridiculous one.

^^^^^^

THANK YOU for editing that.

The Governor of Indiana might have been able to get tickets, the VP elect definitely could and that's the big d!ck Pence is swinging. The office and its power.

I can not remember the specific news story, but I can clearly remember when Trump's people were hustling for potential running mates, several of them were told "you would be the most powerful. VP in history", knowing that DT will get bored easily w the real work and they'd need someone to do the lifting.

Esp within the elected Repubs who DT has no relationship with.

Again, actions speak louder than words- join the Dems and work towards midterms, give to Planned Parenthood, the ACLU but work! don't just armchair quarterback.

ljay889, if you're that, um, intrigued by my political beliefs, shoot me a PM. Happy to divulge anything you want to know.

Think of it this way. Wouldn't Pence more likely be a positive advocate for Broadway while in office if he had a better experience ? Now he is probably saying to himself about the people who booed him " f*ck em".

Yup, ask Indiana. People there hate him so much that they were cheering when he was nominated as VP (because he'd be leaving).
