Almost everyone at dinner was giving my friend the business for complaining so much about Trump while failing to vote. If he knew Trump was so bad why didn't he vote? Even if he didn't like Clinton very much why not hold your nose and vote for her just to keep him out of office? He kept bringing up the emails though and the Clinton Foundation and speeches to Wall Street. I think he bought into the "they are both equally bad" meme.
