Donald Trump was showered with boos and scattered cheers as he arrived at his polling site in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday with wife Melania and daughter Ivanka.
Video of the hectic scene outside P.S. 59 showed spectators penned in by metal grates jeering and shouting at the Republican nominee, who waved at the dozens gathered outside the building.

The real estate mogul handily won the Empire State’s primary race, but he has little support in the deep blue city he calls home. Only 69,066 voters in New York City cast ballots for Trump in the Republican primary, while 586,017 voted for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.
Trump appeared confident as he bypassed a line that stretched around the block to enter the polling site. He stopped to purchase a cupcake from a young boy, and told a CNN reported inside the building that early returns looked “very good.”
As he departed minutes later in a black SUV, CNN cameras captured detractors shouting, “You’re so boring!”
NY was never in question for HRC, but getting booed when HO came to the polls is pretty embarrassing…maybe if he loses he can relocate to Alabama.
Haha. “You’re so boring” is the best insult.
Not to Alabama – Moscow.
And beacuse this was a public school, he went and took a shower afterwards.
I have to say, people are so polite about their booing. I would’ve been yelling shit that made the children cry.
Edit: Haha…would’ve ruined the video too wouldn’t it?
“And here’s footage of Donald being heckled as he goes to vote” “BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP”
“Back to you, Liz…”
Melania looked grim faced – even more than usual.
