I voted Trump in the election, knowing full well he would be buried in California. I left the ballot box convinced Hillary was going to be president-elect the next day. I only had two Democrats on the ballot for Senator, so I didn't mark that spot at all. That is becoming normal here. All hail the Party.

Now you have to know who Hillary is and has been over the years, what she's done to gain and keep political power (including attacking women who actually were sexually assaulted), and where her loyalties lie in Washington and E-Street.

Remember this image?

You spend a lot of time here lecturing us on the horrors of corporate and other influence and corruption in our political system. Hillary wallows in that world like a pig in mud.

You telling me you didn't paper over a few principles yourself? Hold your nose and pick who you thought was the lesser of two evils to keep someone else out of office?

I voted less for Trump than against Business as Usual in Washington, and the ever-increasing power of the State, the bureaucracy, and crony capitalism. I voted for someone outside the System. Same reason Democrats would have voted for Bernie Sanders (Hillary kicked him out of her way, too).

Did it do any good? We'll see. God knows Trump isn't a principled conservative ($1 trillion stimulus??) Even less so than Bush was. But at least the Washington corruption baggage wasn't firmly in place right at the start.
