Praise Hillary, always telling it like it is Donald Trump is a wealthy New Yorker, he's been pro-choice his whole life. He doesn't give a crap about guns. He's an atheist. He thinks that people who have faith are idiots. Consider that, Christians. He thinks everyone who's going to vote for him is an idiot (and they are). He could shoot someone in the street and his idiot supporters would continue to support him.

I would advise young people reading this to read the wikileaks in full. Please read everything that gho has linked in full. None of it shows any rigging or corruption whatsoever. Agreed, in fact don't read the articles posted here at all - go and look through information for yourself and come to your own conclusion, don't be swayed by mainstream propaganda or any other person look at the facts. Yes, that's right, don't read anything other than what gho has posted. Just the wikileaks. That's all you need to know. (No, that's not right. You're millennial/GenZ. You know how to google. Go do that).

Hitlery? Nice. How have you refrained from saying "Killary" for this long, I wonder. And if you read that feature you would discover that the system is not, and was not, rigged against Sanders. Hillary won the Democratic primary by over 3.7 million votes. Please explain the rigging. observer.com/2016/07/wikileaks-proves-primary-was-rigged-dnc-undermined-democracy/But again, lets look away from WikiLeaks revelations until we know their source isn't Russia, avert your eyes from their facts **THEY ARE PROPAGANDA** Thank god for the Clinton Campaign telling us how and what to think. Shock horror - party elders favoured one candidate over another, and said so in emails! There was no rigging. There are no "revelations." I would advise young people reading this to read the wikileaks in full. Please read everything that gho has linked in full. None of it shows any rigging or corruption whatsoever.

Continue all you like, but saying that "Trump is ahead" is a blatant lie that only the likes of Putin and Wikileaks would countenance. Trump is ahead in certain polls, that's just a fact, like someone said earlier- I don't take the polls I'm just stating a fact... my other point was that polls can easily be doctored and I also posted proof of that, so whereas those polls stated Trump is ahead is about as useful as the polls which say Clinton is ahead, we'll see on November 8th/9th Trump is ahead in internet polls that have no validity. All reputable scientific polls have Clinton well ahead: projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromoAnd no, proper scientific polls cannot be doctored. Nor can the vote. Give it up. You've lost.

Can you make your point without being so creepy? I doubt that very many people on this forum actually have a vote, so all of this bickering and unpleasantness is, in a way, pointless. And yet we all continue... Continue all you like, but saying that "Trump is ahead" is a blatant lie that only the likes of Putin and Wikileaks would countenance.

If you believe everything the Clinton Campaign tells you... I fear for you. After all the revelations from wikileaks showing what a manipulating and dishonest organisation Clinton and her people are. People seem hung up on where these e-mails came from rather than looking into them and seeing that what they expose is infinitely worse. americablog.com/2016/10/russia-scoops-wikileaks-new-podesta-emails-things-make-go-hmm.htmlRussia has scooped wikileaks on its own expose. (And also, what the emails expose about Clinton is...precisely nothing).

Please tell Putin that this race is done now. It is a waste of some oligarch's money to continue. What's Putin got to do with anything? Russia is hacking the US and all Western websites. Live in the now

Yes. But just on the off chance that there are any undecided US voters floating around here, please please please vote for the Democrats in the House and the Senate as well. Hillary's going to win, but she won't be able to get a damned thing done without the other branches of government on side.

I was at the Color Purple in NY at a matinee a couple of weeks ago (amazing, of course) and as I was returning to my seat after the interval I saw a man being escorted out of the theatre by security, followed closely by his protesting partner. As I went by, an agitated woman said something to the effect of, "He said something racist and I said WHAT and got up and then he hit me." I would have liked to have heard more, but she then said, with a pointed tone, "And mind your business" to the person who asked, so I thought it best to go back to my seat. Everyone was on best behaviour during the actual show, though, at least as far as I could see and hear.

Insane behaviour at the Proms tonight. We had a spare seat in the stalls (a friend couldn't make it), and one of the Prommers came and sat in it. A bit cheeky to do so without even asking, but she was a lady of a certain age, didn't speak English well at all, and claimed to have "bad knees." So we didn't say anything, and tolerated her head shaking, premature clapping and jigging about in the first half. The second half was when things went utterly pear-shaped. A gentleman became very ill in the row in front (the performance continued), and there was much rising and sitting of the people in front of us as two paramedics went in and out. Finally, it was determined that the gentleman would have to be removed via stretcher and so the people in front of us were asked to vacate the row for a minute so that he could be taken out. (Which they did, promptly and quietly). Prommer lady lost her mind at this, speaking loudly and gesticulating wildly. I had had enough at this point, and pointed out that she hadn't paid for the seat, and if she didn't quiet down, we would find an usher to remove her. She was mostly quiet after this (the head shaking, premature clapping and jigging about continued) but it put a damper on an otherwise excellent performance (Barber of Seville from Glyndebourne).

Breakfast at Tiffany's. I go in to my seat, on the way in step on what I think is a foot, apologise profusely but apparently it was a bag. On the way out (at the interval, never to return since the show was truly dire) I was told to watch out and not step on the bag. Lady, if it's that important to you, perhaps removing it from the floor when people are going out at the interval would be a good start.

Hated all the men. Adored Reshma (why on earth did she have to do all the work) and Katie Brayben, whose New Jersey accent was subtle and excellent. Millennial silliness.

I'm been a W/E performer and I genuinely don't care if everyone claps. I'm not even aware of that until the final curtain call. What does bother me is people not paying attention. You can absolutely feel as a performer when the audience is not with you. An audience that watches quietly but isn't demonstrative is worth far more than an audience who aren't really paying attention but clap loudly at the end of every song. I've noticed that with Broadway audiences. They're so busy waiting for their cue to applaud a diva doing an 11 o'clock number that they don't seem to notice when an actress is deliberately not giving that sort of performance and is trying to produce a different kind of effect. Yes, this, exactly. Also, they have to put more and more effort into getting the stars on stage unobtrusively in order to avoid the entrance applause, which is fine (if annoying) in a musical but doesn't work in, say, Death of a Salesman. I don't care if people clap or not up to a point, but I do feel a bit embarrassed when half the audience rushes off at the end without any appreciation at all. This happens at the Royal Opera House a lot. It makes me feel like I have to be more enthusiastic than I normally would be to make up for them.

Tweet from Lin-Manuel Miranda after last night's show: "Phone second row, and Phone 4th row: you almost f*cked it up for me, but Blue Dress and Little Kid were so with me, they held me down."
Blows my mind that people would have fantastic seats to the hottest show around and would still play with their phones.
