63. I have only met 3 people since Election Day that admitted they voted for Hillary

I shuffle groups of people in and out of my office each and every day. Politics comes up frequently. Only 3 people have acknowledged having voted for HRC. Of 14 employees, only one has "confessed" that her vote went to the Democrat. The others, as you intimated, are loudly, boldly and proudly hailing the Monster's election. The numbers may say 46%, but in rural GA, I'd be surprised if 4.6% cast a vote in her favor.
