As did many Dems. Or if they voted, they put no vote for President and only voted down ballot. I know some people who did that. Not my way of doing things, but to each their own.
Although I didn't buy the crap that Hillary was corrupt, I always felt that for some people it would be hard to get motivated to support Hillary. Her horoscope score was low. Her mixed record, mostly by association with her husband, but especially her lack of personal charisma and showmanship, or even authenticity, meant that the American peoples' natural desire for a strong, authoritarian leader would prevail.
It may be like, well, she wasn't black, so the blacks didn't come out. Kind of reminds me of that famous poem about who's left to come after me, after I let them come after all the other groups. Now we've got someone in office who will come after people.
