    Apparently, Morey loves the theater, too. Sources say.

    Come on, man. You're trying to call Trump a Democrat. You're rapidly losing any credibility you had.

    Trump is awesome for standing up for his VP.

    If Democrats controlled congress, you can bet he would be filling his cabinet with Democrats.

    I was really joking, but honestly shouldn't people who love the theater be upset at the lack of professionalism by actors on Broadway during what should be a serious performance? Perhaps I'm misguided here and that sort of bush league nonsense is to be expected.

    ....I mean, I'm just stating facts. He literally was a Democrat for nearly all of his life and was as recently as 6 years ago. 8 years ago he was a big Hillary supporter and even a donor. This in no way is controversial information.

    And if Yao was still playing, that would be awesome. Maybe in the next universe. . . .

    Trump is a Republican. You're making yourself look goofy.

    The fact is that right now he's a Republican.

    Well sure, he ran as a Republican, but that in no way changes what I said. He was a Democrat nearly his entire life and as recently as 6 years ago. He's a Republican in name only and not a conservative at all.

    Interesting because all I've seen him back are conservative policies and ideas right now.

    The actors could have easily gotten their point across by speaking in generalities rather than singling out Pence after the show. Let the guy enjoy a night out.

    "The guy"? I think "the Vice-President-Elect" is the proper term. Notice how you identified the actors by profession and not the Vice-President-Elect? Yes, Mike Pence is actually going to do a job called Vice President. One of the things that job entails is interacting with Americans. He's walking around with Secret Service. You know why? Because he's the Vice-President-Elect 24/7, even at the theater.

    Well sure, he's doing his impersonation of a conservative, so to a liberal, it would look like that. After all, it's a liberal's idea of what a conservative is. That's what got him elected.

    Are you insinuating that the actor should have shown more respect to the Vice-President Elect?

    No. I am implying, not insinuating, that the Vice-President-Elect does not get to stop being Vice-President-Elect at his leisure. So, he has to put up with Americans expressing their feelings to him when he goes out in public.

    No, he's fine with disrespect so long as it's not directed at someone he supports.

    So the trailer park is going to boycott Hamilton. Next thing you know they'll boycott all the fine arts and America will be a cesspool of idiots who would vote a lying, racist, ignorant buffoon as President. Oh wait...

    Doesn't matter if you think its an impersonation or not, fact is he's aiming to pass things that conservatives have wanted for years.

    You are doing some odd mental gymnastics, I'm guessing its because you know Trump is likely to fail so you want to pass the buck back off to the democratic party but man, this dude is a Republican right now, right at this moment. It's irrelevant if you think he's faking it or not when he actually means to pass things the GOP has begged for the past 8 years.

    Now, maybe if he keeps the EPA stronger, stays in the Paris agreement and doesn't strip away regulations.
    If he changes his tax plan to something that is closer's to the DNCs
    Tries to socialize college education as much as possible
    Among other things...

    If he actually implements Liberal ideas then yes, maybe I can say he's a liberal...but as of right now he's shown no sign that as of right now...right at this moment...that he is. Everything he's done is so far right, good luck convincing a liberal that he's a liberal TODAY.

    Busted! You got me. If an actor actually talked to Joe Biden like that during a curtain call, I would be so MAD! I would Tweet that @#%$ out! Twice! Damn. I don't even like to think about that nightmare scenario. And I thought ISIS was disrespectful. . . .

    Actually, the public disrespected Vice President Elect Pence by booing him, and the actor told them not to boo.
