I disagree, simply because of the words "anyone" and "everyone." I'm sure a few of the Republicans who voted for Obama because they were exhausted by the GWB debacle may vote for Trump rather than Clinton.

If you'd said "most," it would be more likely.

I'll say that most of those who voted for Obama in 2008 and/or 2012 will probably either vote for Clinton, vote a 3rd party, or not vote at all.

My husband (immigrant Hispanic) is one of them.

Anything can happen; I don't know what the outcome will be.

A lot of this is about economics.
