The upcoming revival of the beloved sitcom “Roseanne” could fill a void on television left in the wake of the cancellation of “Last Man Standing,” starring Tim Allen.
Allen, who has identified many times as a political conservative, found success with his sitcom by appealing to Middle America and right-of-center audiences — crowds Hollywood typically ignores. Allen’s character was a conservative treated not as a villain or a buffoon, but rather as a human being. “Standing” was one of the few shows in which clichéd Donald Trump bashings weren’t inorganically peppered throughout the scripts.

'Cause it's all about distribution. When you're in the club, you've got people that you sell to. That's how money changes hands; that's how business works.....

The woman is an absolute nut.
Regarding her new(ish) show, given that it is to be network TV, I rather doubt it will be genuinely pro-Trump. I am betting there will be one wacky character who will be pro-Trump, just to hedge their bets.
Republican friend of mine says she has been tweeting back and forth with Roseanne since before the election. Roseanne was definitely pro-Trump. Remains to be seen what the blasted HoWood writers come up with.
>> I am not sure having Rosanne Barr in your corner is a plus.
Once an actress, now a capitalist.
