    Despite this, it seems he doesn't get boos and hisses from the public Americana. could be that his detractors are just better people, could be that Pence is that much worse.

    The truth, the eye, and the beholder.

    And yet you were somehow able to send your cut and run response.

    No, Biden doesn't get the boos and hisses because those on the other side have more class. That should be obvious. No one has ever accused Leftists of having too much class.

    That's just, like, your opinion man. (Not that I have much more to go on)

    We'll have to agree to disagree.

    I have not tried. Have I?
    Newsflash. Its not my reality. Its there's.

    Where have i said anything about my reality?
    Or all of anything? You're horrible at projection.

    It may but placing wrong labels confuses the issue. Its that proper use of words again.

    Its the school girl whining by that special snowflake just elected. Pence handled it with class. Trump escalated it.

    It was the whining but the snowflakes on the stage that showed no class. Trump had every right to comment on it even with his unnecessary Trumplike dig about the play not being so great. He made the one comment, the escalation came after it.

    The cast should issue the apology and then everyone can move on.

    It seems that Trump is picking a fight with some very nice people. I can imagine others telling him to ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

    Trump, like his supporters on this forum, believes in free speech - for himself and no one else.
    That's what these deluded far right pundits call ''political correctness''.

    What President Trump is doing is exposing the constant whining still today coming from the sour grapes of our society. Hamilton cast is just about as insignificant voice as a collective voice could be. The only thing they are serving is this evident whine fest.

    Trump should apologize for thinking someone else should apologize and holding a hissy fit when his own VP elect said he was fine.

    No problem with offering conversion therapy and its his opponents who claim that he supported a law that allowed businesses to discriminate against gay people

    If the cast are all illegal immigrants, their concerns are justified. If not, their stated concerns are bull (*)(*)(*)(*), taking Trump at his word.

    That pathetic example of Republican disrespect was FAR worse.
    Imagine if anyone did that to traitor Bush.

    Probably costs over $1000 to get in to see the play. They can engage in "free speech" when they aren't charging $1000 a head for the paid speech. And demanding an apology for a speech made, isn't a restriction on that speech.

    If a future or current VP or Prez doesn't want to talk politics in public, they should not go out in public.
    Those jobs are 24/7 jobs. Especially in public.

    Why should they be asked to apologize? If not for speaking when not being asked to speak?

    Apologize for being rude. Apologize for ranting at a customer who paid $1000 dollars to see a play, not be lectured to. Apologize for his complete ignorance as to Trumps proposed policies.

    The cast of Hamilton should be applauded, and I hope more broadway shows end their curtain calls this way.

    Pence is a religious loon, the old-timer thinks you can shock someone, and it will take the "Gay" out of them. Pointing out the obvious about someone is not erratic, its smart. And that's exactly what the Hamilton cast did. A apology would be a sign of weakness on their part.

    I can't say thank you enough -- in some backhand way, to Trump for making this an issue.

    Because of him, I explored what was something I never thought I'd see -- with ticket prices astronomical, as reported, and something I, even as a student of history, but certainly not a fan of hip-hop or rap, just didn't pay much attention to --

    But holy moly, my socks have been knocked of. I've spent considerable time now watching parts of this performance - and I'm blown away. They did the impossible. Make me enjoy rap. I understand why it's sold out now for years. It's phenomenal.

    I can't get enough.

    This Tony performance is a snip, for anyone who has yet to see a glimpse:

    Untasteful? Sure, it was in poor taste for the cast to single him out and express their concerns in front of everyone else. They could've easily asked him to come backstage for a talk or something like that. Harassment? Not in the slightest. For it to be harassment, the cast would have to keep voicing their concerns on Pence's Twitter and that. This was a one-off, not harassment.
