playwright's trademarks.

And this cast can pull off the inflection that makes raw speech sound a lot more powerful than it would in lesser mouths.

I'm thinking you're right that a lot of GOP folks feel that way about their current presidential nominee.

He's told the story that his big break was going to work and having Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Jack Lemon, and Al Pacino tell him how much of an asshole he was.

Baldwin's opening was not in the play. It was written by Mamet specifically for him.

Didn't see the play but saw the movie. Alec Baldwin was in the movie which made the ensemble even stronger.

What real human dialogue which amped up the incredible tension of the story line.

Not easily done.

Brilliant, which of course has nothing to do with Trump.

At that time, if I'm not mistaken, I was for HRC, you were for BHO.

I'm glad we're on the same side this time, and I'm glad I supported BHO once HRC conceded the primaries.

I have always, and will always support the Democratic nominee.

Because the worst Democrat is still better than the best Republican, even in the best of circumstances.

Not because they're Republican, but because they are fucking assholes.

What a luxury, to have two candidates as good as BHO and HRC to spar over. Seems like a long time ago.

And I couldn't agree with you more: the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican. Always.
