The thrust of it was how a line from "Hamlet" applied to Hillary. In the comments section lines from other plays were rephrased to be applicable. It strikes me that politics of the day is a current target rich environment for a rephrase the Bard game.
"..Full of sound and fury and signifying nothing, a typical Social Justice Warrior."
"..If I were bound in a nutshell I would still count myself as a king of infinite space if I didn't think the government would take over my Internet Service Provider."

"The former First Lady doth protest too much, methinks."

"Our elections now are ended. These our politicians' promises,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
shall dissolve."
