25. I live in a blue county and was wondering the same thing.

When I went to vote on election day there was some doofus waiving a Trump sign and stepping out into traffic and screaming that everyone should vote for Trump. I had to go out of my lane to avoid hitting this guy. There were Trump signs everywhere and not nearly as many Clinton signs. I happened to be wearing an old Harley Davidson shirt when I went to vote so the same doofus thought I was a shoe-in for Trump. There were also a whole bunch of 'women for Trump' right behind him too. I don't know if these people were really from our area though. I wasn't intimidated, but I can understand how other people might have been. I just don't get how anyone could actually vote for Trump. It's not like we needed a 70 million dollar Benghazi style congressional investigation to figure out Trump is a horrible person. He stepped up to the podium and told us all right to our faces. I just have to keep telling myself that less than 27% of eligible voters are responsible for this lunatic being our president.
