There wasn't an option for both so I didn't vote. Voted for Cruz in Ohio's primary, and at one point said I wouldn't vote for Trump, mainly because I didn't believe his promises to deport illegals or be able to do much regarding the terrible trade deals in place. Regarding illegals I may be right, time will tell, but when it comes to bad trade deals he is trying to get them renegotiated. And the tariffs are needed to get other countries to agree to stop their unfair tariffs on our products. To be clear, there has already been a trade war going on against the United States. We finally have a president willing to acknowledge it and do something about it.

Eventually, I decided voting for Trump was the only option. Hillary's hateful rhetoric and some of her plans disgusted and worried me, and the fact so many supported her worries me for this country's future, because it was just a temporary setback for them. Eventually Democrats will be in control again up to their destructive ways. Republicans can't get out of their own way and people will vote against them. Then after Democrats have been in power for awhile they'll be voted against again for not being able to get out of their own way.

Simply put, we don't have a political party that truly represents the best interests of this country and the nation's citizens, and until we get it we'll be voting people out as much, if not more, than we vote people in.

Trump speaking the truth obviously hurts sensitive snowflake feelings. You should be happy he wants to protect Americans and their jobs, unlike the past few presidents.

My vote was 100% against the other candidate. I disliked both, but chose what I hoped was the lesser of two evils.

I'll never understand why people snort things. And to think our government allows them to vote.

If you choose the lesser of two evils, and you still get evil, you get what you voted for.

Which president doubled the national debt in eight years? Were you screaming about that?
Really? You really don't believe are debt is about to shoot up astronomically? Have you been paying attention?

Hillary says it it's hateful rhetoric.

Trump says it, he's speaking the truth. The hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness is astounding.
