Hamiltony

Early-on in his run for the presidency, Donald Trump was pretty much of an asshole. Fortunately, he has mellowed somewhat as his campaign has progressed. I have suggested before that Trump's crude behavior might have been a legacy from his dealings with the thick-headed thugs and mugs that he constantly had to confront and subdue in his real estate operations in Manhattan, New York.

I think that I may have been onto something ... particularly when remembering how awfully arrogant are the liberals that Gotham seems to breed in large numbers. And now we can see the sad evidence of such folk firsthand in the following videos. Vice President Elect Mike Pence and his family recently attended the play "Hamilton" on Broadway and his reception was typical of what one might expect from the kind of boorish boobs that Trump frequently dealt with in his rough and tumble real estate dealings.

If you can imagine a coarser and slimier reception than Pence got during this chi-chi play , you still will probably be shocked by the reality of this moment ... see: Powerline Blog Videos. But, having spent a number of years in Manhattan myself, I can testify that not all Big Apple-ites are quite so infantile ... just the tony uber-liberals.
