The discussion was very pointed and deep and sobering.

Daniels is playing Atticus Finch on Broadway and brought the matter of race as THE CARD Republicans have given permission for Trump to play in order to retain power in this time of changing demographics.

No holds barred in this discussion. I found myself tearing up at the implications and the gravity in the voices and faces of the panel.

1. Just had a phone call

Saying,” That is ONE show I would live to see!” We both read To Kill A MockingBird years ago. Are going to read it again! One show I wish I had taped, but will watch again.

2. That was an incredible discussion!

7. I have to admit my eyes got a little teary..

....hearing Daniels say what was in his heart.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

10. So did mine!

3. It was very moving to hear

people on television engage in a discussion about how democracy in America is hanging over a cliff.

What is wrong with republicans? Do the hate all minority people more than they love their country?

4. I watched the film on TCM last night and Daniels spoke with

the host then I see him on again today which was better. He spoke on MSNBC about how the GOP is pulling out the "race card" as their one last stand as their party dies. If we do not do something before the election and then we lose the election than our democracy is dead. Scary but true.

He also said that in this version of the play Atticus was a racist by being an enabler, watching it all from his front porch but by the end he has become an activist.

5. Wow, I'd LOVE to see To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway

Especially with Jeff Daniels as Atticus Finch. I bet he nails it!

I'll definitely watch for the video of Nicole's show.

6. To Kill A Mockingbird is sold out for almost every performance

Was in NYC 2 weeks ago and tried to get tix to see this production and the only way to score tickets now is through brokers that are way too much for me to afford. Lines to enter the Schubert Theatre are also pretty long to get in. I would have loved to see this it sounds superb and is very timely right now.

15. I got a ticket to the Broadway show for Christmas. It was beyond wonderful.

A road show production is being organized; Richard Thomas of "The Waltons"will be doing the Atticus Finch role. I urge everybody to see the amazing job that Sorkin has done, adapting the classic book into a play for our perilous times.

8. AND Nicole urged James Comey to see the Broadway production and he took his whole family.

He tweeted about it.

I'll try to find the tweet.

[Grasswire2]

9. I don't see the tweets from Comey on his feed.

Maybe I misheard.
