So, basically this is for all the peeps last year who voted for someone other than Trump or Hillary last year. What would you do if it was a two way race between only Trump and Clinton? This comes after people on both sides of the aisle are bickering on the subject of who would have won in a two way race. I want to get a general idea of what would happened.

Inversion: My state was safe, if I had just gone with my gut and original plan, I would've abstained or written in some random Democrat [Joe Biden methinks].

Instead, I chickened out and hoped Hillary would pull off a Truman, with my state as the most d*()ing margin.

Not really, Dewey lost the popular vote by the same margin he was supposed to win it by even the day before.

I chose the last option -- I voted for McMullin, and I would have stayed home if he were not a write-in option in my state.

I did stay home on election day in 2004, 2008, and 2012 (and 2006, 2010, and 2014).

They stopped something like a month before the election.

I'm the opposite.  I voted for Hillary and now wish I would have voted third party.

In a two-race, easily would have voted for Hillary Clinton.

I said at one point (after the Billy Bush tape) that I would vote for Gary Johnson.  After a bit of rationalizing that the tape was a decade old (and given my belief that those who professed shock were mostly full of crap), I voted for Trump, in no small measure because of my intense dislike for Hillary Clinton.

After listening to my President threatening to blow North Korea to Kingdom Come, I wonder if this was my best or worst vote ever.  Kicking the can on the issue seems to outlived its effectiveness, but I've never heard the kind of rhetoric I heard from an American President that I heard today.  I voted for Trump because I thought he knew something others don't know.  I really hope I'm right at the present moment.

Yes, because the last six months have certainly shown that the president possesses extraordinary secret knowledge. Roll Eyes

You got exactly what you voted for, and you'll never be able to change that.
