HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD? – AT 9:31 A.M. ET:  Are you in Hollywood?  Are you for Trump?  Do you know what "unemployment insurance" means?  From the Wrap: 

Being a Republican in Hollywood has always been somewhat taboo. But many conservatives report the stakes are even higher for them this year since GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is an even more polarizing figure than past conservative candidates.

That has led some to remain silent about their support of the real estate mogul in order to avoid damaging consequences to their careers in an industry built on personal relationships.

“There are many people who are voting for Donald Trump but are too afraid to admit it,” Roger Neal, a Trump supporter and founder of the Hollywood PR and management firm NPR, told TheWrap. “Things have gotten really nasty in Hollywood lately.”

Neal was surprised to see many of his left-leaning colleagues, including some who owe him their start in the industry, post a recent GQ article titled, “If You Vote for Trump, Screw You” on their social media feeds.

“Some stars have gone to the far left this election and are really getting hostile,” he said. “You don’t see that from the other side.”

“There’s an unhealthy tension here right now,” Neal added.

Oscar-nominated writer Lionel Chetwynd, another prominent Hollywood conservative, described the political atmosphere within the industry this fall as “toxic.”

COMMENT:  The only way this will change is when decidedly left-wing programs and movies flop badly.  The American people vote with their checkbook.
