Nowhere.

This is how Obama likes it.

Trump is "forecasted" to be divisive...by those who called "RACIST" each and every time anyone disagreed with Obama. Nothing new or different.

Keep on keeping on with the baloney and Trump will sit as POTUS for 8 years. And then one of his children will run, win and there will be another 8 years of a Trump in office. He's got more than one kid....
Trump insulted everyone except white men. Well, actually he did insult some of them too. Sorry, not the kind of president I want. Our country deserves better than a narcissist

Trump plans to enforce our immigration laws. Do you think enforcing our laws equates to "a danger to our democracy"? If so, you have a very twisted way of thinking
When did we start talking about immigration?

Sorry if you think I'm being a drama queen. I care about the country and the Constitution. What can I say?

"The president-elect has identified a much more frightening enemy that demands his fickle attention: Hamilton, the Broadway musical, where Vice President-elect Mike Pence was booed Friday night. This booing, according to the least polite man in America, is unacceptable..."

Donald Trump
This.

“We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,” said Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, the nation’s third vice president. “We truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us.”

“Vice President-elect Pence, I see you walking out, but I hope you will hear us, just a few more moments. There’s nothing to boo here, ladies and gentlemen,” Dixon said.. “We’re all here sharing a story about love.”

^That is what they said to him, and there is nothing harassing about that. Nothing anywhere near as insulting and inflammatory as what Trump has said to various portions of the United States.

Nobody has manners anymore. While I don't think the cast HARASSED Pence, I don't know what they expected to gain from it either. Publicity probably. It's just a downer to go out to a show and get more than you bargained for. But whatever, Pence is probably used to it.

I agree and he could have been a real statesman and reassured the people in the audience that the Trump administration will fairly represent all people and that they didn't need to worry..oh wait, he couldn't do that because it wouldn't be true..dang

Bullies are often thin-skinned, quick to overreact when challenged, and undone when people are no longer afraid to speak truth to their face. Great presidents are almost always the opposite in all those categories.
Reflecting on Donald Trump’s complete overreaction to a statement made at the end of a performance of Broadway’s Hamilton: An American Musical, I couldn’t help but think – doesn’t this man have more important things to worry about? Hasn’t the theater long been a stage for political art? And isn’t this a man who broke so many norms as a candidate, insulted so many people – individually and as groups – that he now has the nerve to demand an apology when he never gave one himself?

Why didn't isn't this a big deal to you folks who are all butt hurt about poor Mike Pence's treatment at Hamilton?

Gov. Mike Pence got a cold reception Thursday when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Indianapolis Indians' home opener.

I think you should demand an immediate apology from everyone who was at that game AND from the players on the team!

They have to wait for trump to tweet and demand an apology, before they can voice their outrage.
