Clinton voters exist. If you notice, the article quotes almost no positives about her and instead relies extremely heavily on negatives about Trump to explain "Clinton voters." When they did use quotes about her, those tended to run from "can't stand" her to lukewarm.

And this was the wrapup about this supposed report on CLINTON voters:

"Whether or not voters in the places that voted most heavily for Clinton were ever likely to be swayed is a fair question. Over the course of his first year, Trump hasn’t helped himself at all in that goal.

The 2016 presidential election is a political World War I, partisan trench warfare. In Clinton country, as in places that backed Trump, Americans are hunkered down for a long term fight."

Not a word about the great regret for what could and should be. Bastards.
