AA woman. Her only reason is she's from Arkansas and hates the Clintons. Such logic.

There was another AA woman at the gym who expressed hatred for the Clintons. I pretty much sat back (in the sauna) and let the other AA people in there talk to her. She was ill-informed. "They talk about Trump's tax returns. We haven't seen Clinton's, either." Chorus in response: "Yes we have. All of them."

I don't know who the woman ended up voting for.
