Well, if I look at how Donald Trump did in my district, which is about 20 percent, I think that if there was a poll in my district, I think they would overwhelmingly tell me to stay home.
But this candidate has done so many things whose -- the constant lying, the interference with Russia, the mocking of those with disabilities, the profound disrespect for women. I just couldn't be there to celebrate his inauguration.
