No they did not, or we'd never heard the phrase "not my President!"

I do.  I know some who spent those next four years arguing about it on
social media and, I would assume, in person.  I don't know about that last bit
because after seeing their daily meltdowns on social media, I made sure to
avoid them whenever possible.

I don't doubt that is why Gregory thinks so.  As predicted, you are giving
your fellow Democrats a lot more leeway than you do Gregory.
