You said they were.

They are union employees.

I cant change millions of people, I can only control my own behavior.

If I have to choose between two equally ill mannered people, I will choose whichever one I feel is best for the country.

Neither of them have the high road when it comes to civility.
Stop equating the two candidates when it comes to manners and behavior during the election. Trump started out personally insulting Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio and never stopped. He insulted Cruz, Cruz's wife and father, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Megan Kelly and the disabled reporter. He encouraged supporters to beat up protesters and said he'd pay the legal fees. He personally insulted the Khans, Alicia Machado, and Judge Curiel. Hillary did not come CLOSE to that behavior and neither has any other candidate EVER.

If you voted for Trump's non-existent economic policy, that's fine. But stop your hypocritical hand-wringing over bad manners. It's utterly ridiculous.

Exactly. And they have violated the union contract.

That's not who we are as a country and that's why people are protesting.
If that had happened to Obama, it would have been "RACIST".

Obama is the the master of pitting races against each other.

Do you know what a union is? It's not a government entity. That's what I mean.

I guess Netanyahu doesn't agree with you..and in any case it was not the cast who did any 'booing', so what is your point? As far as the casting call for non-whites, it's well known that the performance centers around non-whites playing the parts of the founding fathers. Would you prefer white actors in black face playing those parts, or maybe you think they should audition whites waste and then not hire them?

Probably a special achievement award or a Tony.


Pence, to his credit, handled it as professionally as he could.
He has probably endured worse.
Trump is the one who can't avoid running his mouth.


There is no 'down time' for Trump or Pence - this is a 24/7 job.
Even if they were universally loved there would still be incidents and
this is a rather mild reminder. Obama had his own heckling problems.
Bush had to duck flying shoes and eggs. Carter had a 'killer rabbit'.
Ford had two crackpot assassination attempts in about two weeks.
