From Pew: "GOP gained ground in middle-class communities in 2016" - my relatives are from Johnstown. Sigh. -- (link) - MDH Dec 8, 09:52 7
- I feel like I'm losing my sanity. The GOP basically holds the country hostage for 8 years refusing to do almost anything (even things they agree with - pmb Dec 8, 10:05 4
  - Most people just look at the President and blame his party if they don't like the way things are going. -- nm - jnine Dec 8, 10:37
  - I've been more baffled by my fellow citizens for literally 15 years than not. With the last year being a quantum leap in my confusion. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 8, 10:33
  - I don't think it's a case of people rewarding the GOP leadership for the past 8 years. I think it's a case of people not knowing how government ... - ReluctantCynic Dec 8, 10:20
  - And not just reward like "yeah, we'll give you a shot and see how it goes" but reward like "here are the keys to everything" -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 10:18

  - This is a good candidate (if they don't cast a white chick as Maria!) -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 10:37 1
    - they wouldn't. they're committed to diversity and wouldn't want the backlash. -- nm - Diva Dec 8, 10:42
- Feels right nostalgia-wise for Phantom of the Opera, no? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Dec 8, 10:31 7
  - Phantom's still running Les Miz closed, so they could do that. -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 10:32 6
    - I don't think Miz has the easily accessible for the whole family vibe some viewers want (based on the choices thus far). What about Mary Poppins then? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Dec 8, 10:34 2
      - Probably not with the Emily Blunt Mary Poppins movie coming out. -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 10:56
      - Les Miz subject matter is a bit more mature (not in a sex way) I guess, but the show has been wildly popular and has well-known show-stopping songs -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 10:36
    - that's a good idea. The show will have to start airing at 7:00 pm. -- nm - Diva Dec 8, 10:33 2
      - I'd love them to do Rent just to see middle America react to a man kissing a tranny on live TV -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 10:34 1

  - heh -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 10:37
  - There's no amount of money in the world that would do that. It will be a decade until the movie. - ty97 Dec 8, 10:29 7
    - it won't be on TV as long as it's playing on the Bway. That could easily be 15 years. They should do 'In the Heights' instead and - Diva Dec 8, 10:32 3
      - That would be AMAZING, but I doubt they'd do it before they do the motion picture -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 10:33 2
        
        Normally iwould doubt that as well, but if Weinstein can't get their shit together and NBC backs up a *dump truck* of money, I could see it. - Diva Dec 8, 10:38 1
        
        I'm all for it. I just think that would tank the odds of the movie being made for a long time. - ty97 Dec 8, 10:39

  - It's running on Broadway now, but the revival has been running for 20 years. If it closes, I could see the live musical -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 10:30 1
    - Although Chicago is not as...family friendly...as their other fare -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 10:30
- Does it have to be a musical? Why not Waiting for Godot - con_carne Dec 8, 10:09 1
