Feb 2018

in my 30's I have to say I knew a lot of people who were my age or younger that stayed at home mainly because they thought Hillary had it in the bags. All of them hated Trump but didn't like Hillary either. They felt Hillary was the lesser of the two evils and thus didn't feel good about having to vote for her. I remember a lot of them believing Trump was going to lose so they didn't feel the need to go out and vote for Hillary.
