You're probably right, but it may have put up an additional barrier of undesirability for certain people. Hillary got more votes, I have to stress that once again, but there are people who would never vote for a woman just as they wouldn't vote for a black man. Don't underestimate the still existing misogyny or racism as contributing factors.
