They weren't excited about Clinton, they really disliked Trump, but they thought it was a foregone conclusion Clinton would win. So they didn't hit the polls in the numbers they did for Obama. This was something that was thought could be a potential problem, but not as significant.
Dems are always susceptible to that. It happened here in Kentucky last year when we got a carpet-teabagger governor that nobody but the evangelicals seemed to like leading up to the contest. Thing is, those folks actually can be depended on to vote.
I honestly felt like the Comey announcement that the investigation was re-opened two Fridays ago would scare Dems into getting to the polls. I guess not.
I never thought trump would win the election, but I always found some of the polls a bit laughable. Huffpo was giving trump a 1.6% chance of winning. That's just straight arrogance and stupidity. It may have even hurt to spread that kind of message on a partisan liberal website. You'd have to be a complete fool to believe that number.
