There could be some truth to this. It was a crazy election.

I personally don't think there were that many people who did this because when you look at the exit polls and you see who voted for which candidate and why Trump's numbers look a lot like Romney and McCains. Trump did better with black and Latino voters than those two, but not by much. Hillary's numbers look a lot like Obama's except in the 18-29 age range where he got about 6% more of the vote than she did. Those people didn't vote Trump, they just didn't vote or they voted for a random third party candidate.

Either way, the only person Hillary has to blame for her her loss is herself.
