How about you switch spots? Give minorities all the seats on the Federal Reserve, in the Senate and in the House. In exchange, the cast of Hamilton and hip hop artists can all be white. Deal?

They failed at that by feeling the need to deliver a partisan political message.

Which part of that message was partisan? That was a direct statement of their feelings and fears to the man who has been elected vice president.

They didn't challenge his legitimacy. They didn't refuse to perform while he was in the audience.

They did their job, and at the end of the show they used their opportunity to ask him to make sure the administration he is a part of represents them, as well.

Did they deliver the same message to Hillary when she was in attendance? No?

It was a partisan message. And, not appropriate.

I agree 100% even thought I don't support Trump's administration.

But having been involved in theatre in the past, it's not a conservative area. It draws creative types from diverse backgrounds and oftentimes, the shows and works of art push the limits.

So their comments were not surprising to me.

However, they did indeed send the message that to further divide our country is acceptable. And I'm certain that not all liberals (and I am one) approved of their message last night. While Pence is a public figure, he did not deserve to be called out "after hours."

It is always refreshing to remember that the liberal bullies lost the election.

If you're referring to Hillary supporters, you need to be reminded that she won the popular vote. As of today, she's about 1.4 million votes ahead although counting is still going on in California, which is increase the spread in her favor even further. The majority of Americans do not support Trump's reactionary policies. Sorry!

Well, you forgot the third party vote - people who weren't satisfied with either. And then there were people who wrote in or who didn't bother voting. And by that last point, I mean those who voted for everyone but . . .

It does seem arrogant and entitled.

What's arrogant and entitled is Pence demanding tickets to a sold out show for himself, family and secret service.

Exactly. How did he get the tickets? Connections. Typical GOP abuse of power.

Omg. It's not a GOP thing. This is how all famous and powerful people go to shows.

He needs to buckle down and focus on governing, because if he spends 4 years constantly responding to comments that offend him, it's going to be a long 4 years. Haters gonna hate, its time to rise above it.

Who cares about what a bunch of third-rate actors think politically. Very rude and disrespectful!

Their hiring was racist. Zero other races were considered.
