Dems in general refuse to believe that Clinton lost because lots of people did not like her and would not vote for her. The total of votes for 3rd party candidates was more than enough to win her the state.

Josh Shapiro, elected as Atty Genl, won 14 counties. Hillary won 11 counties. Had she just matched Shapiro, she'd have won the state. It shows the level of ticket-splitting or 3rd party voting or undervoting (not voting for president) there was in 2016.
