revote 2016

Post by BroncoBot »

Trumpers/Never Trumpers/Hillary fans/Ron Paul fans/Cruz fans

Are there any out there who would have changed their vote from November 16? Anyone brave enough to tell us about it and why?

Thanks in advance to any brave souls who step forward.

My vote came down to crap chute Trump and who I felt was a legitimate threat to the USA in Hillary. I'm still glad I voted from Trump, glad he was elected, glad for the good things he's done including stocking the courts with more conservatives and at least one good supreme court justice. North Korea has been working out well. We could see the mullahs fall in Iran at some point in the next few years.

However, politically, I have many disagreements with trump.

I'm in California - So I was in a unique position that my vote for president would be 100% irrelevant. I wrote in a friend from church as a goof for her birthday, and then posted it on Facebook. I'd do it all over again if I had the choice.

No change, my state of Oregon did not matter. So I voted for the guy from Utah, what's his name. No change.

McMullen. He was my vote, which I would do again. That being said, as much as I dislike Trump I'm glad he beat Hillary.

No change. I didn't vote for Trump. I probably wouldn't vote for McMullin as he showed himself to be much further on the Left after the election than he purported himself to be prior to. He began to be much more anti-Trump than anything - where everything Trump does is wrong.

So I probably wouldn't vote for anyone on the ballot.

And like Mars, I'm so glad Hillary didn't win.

I didn't vote for Trump. I wouldn't ever vote for Trump. I would write in Mitt Romney as my first choice. If I had to pick someone on the ballot I'd vote for Evan McMullen or that crackpot Libertarian guy, Johnson?

I voted for Mr. Trump and I would not change. He has been good for the economy. He hasn't let other nations bully us. I read opinions that we are not held in high esteem by other nations (probably because he isn't doling out our money to them). That doesn't bother me as I live here not there. I am also glad he beat Hilary.

Hey! I voted for that crackpot and I would do it again. He seemed like the best candidate at the time. And nothing has changed my mind about that.

Though between Hillary and Trump, I am glad Trump won if for nothing else than to get conservative supreme court justices. They impact our lives far more than any other government employee.

I don't disagree with you there. I think we'd be in a very different place if Hillary won, in some ways better, in many ways worse, but my conscious would never allow me to vote for either Hillary or Trump.

I voted McMullen

I don't think i would change it today. I was in the same camp as the rest of you. Very happy Hillary didn't win. My petty side is glad trump is president and makes all the liberal go absolutely bananas (love the video compilations on youtube showing all the "experts" picking hillary by a landslide with election night coverage of the massive implosion). But at the end of the day i just couldn't vote for Trump or Hillary as neither seemed the lesser of two evils.

I'm hoping the GOP got a wake up call on what future candidates the PEOPLE want, not who they own.
