    How does that ruin it?

    In 1994, I was at the Cubs' home opener. Tuffy Rhodes hit three home runs. THAT was once in a lifetime.

    Throwing out the first pitch that day...

    Hillary Clinton.

    That didn't ruin it for me.

    Accusations backed by little or no evidence must be believed when made against Democrats.

    Similar accusations against Republicans must be ignored.

    It must be so liberating that you don't care about hypocrisy.

    By many accounts the boos last night at Hamilton were relentless, sometimes drowning out the dialogue. That's slightly different than someone throwing out the first pitch and then disappearing from sight.
    The replies on this naive girl's post are priceless.

    Then it wasn't his presence that ruined it. It was assholes booing him

    While he's got every right to attend a performance, he had to know how tone deaf his presence would seem considering he's maligned and tried to pass damaging laws against gays, minorities and women --- the majority of the cast.

    What did Pence think the reaction would be? He's one of the faces of the most hateful campaign that's ever been run. He's a bigot and anti-immigrant. Gonna get booed in that setting, 100 percent of the time.

    This is the year to be a Beauregard from Alabama. Beauregard High from just outside Opelika, long an athletics afterthought, is in the state football semifinals for the first time.

    So says the one 2016 candidate who would rarely make himself available to media during the primary season... even Trump and Clinton had more avails.

    Sanders would show up, rile up the college kids over free tuition, rile up the Vietnam veterans over the VA and duck out before we could ask "Specifically, what do you envision the tax rates to be to pay for free tuition?"
