Hillary 2016 by far. In 2000, I was expecting a Bush victory due to his lead in the polls. In 2016, I had no expectation either way, and even that was more pessimistic than most people. Also, in 2000 I hardly cared about politics as it seemed both candidates were just moving to the center. In 2016, each candidate acted as if the other candidate was so far beyond the pale; Trump said Clinton should be jailed while Clinton said Trump was fundamentally unfit. Their supporters often followed suit.
