Most people who voted for either Trump or Hillary probably had both motivations, but which was the stronger motivator, even if only slightly stronger?

I would have voted for Bernie. I ended up having to vote against Trump, but it wasn't easy. I have never liked Hillary, but she was at least qualified for the job with education and experience.

Voted for Trump. Because his agenda was my agenda.

Clinton was never an option but didn't specifically vote against her. Again - voted FOR Trump.

I would have probably voted for any Democrat other than Hillary, but it wasn't to be, so I held my nose and voted against her.

Hillary was the absolute worst POTUS candidate we've ever been faced with, a true disaster waiting to happen. And that's after three losers as POTUS. Four, even, my opinion of Papa Bush has taken a dive the last year.
I greatly disliked Trump on a personal level, but his agenda has been far better than what we've seen from the previous corrupt stooges. And if the DC swamp and establishment hates him so much, you know he's on our side.

I voted for Donald. I believed in him. I stood in the rain for an hour and a half during the primary to vote for him. If Biden had run, I might have voted for him.

Voted FOR Trump. After eight miserable years of Obama, the US was ready for a real leader to step up.

Hillary was a joke. Bernie likely would have beat Trump, but the DNC machine made sure that would never happen.

I didn't vote for either slimy, corrupt, POS. The blind loyalty I see on these forums (and in real life) to either Clinton or Trump scares the crap out of me.

Did a write in for Jim Webb. Voting for a bad choice because both are bad choices isn't a win no matter what.
We need to stop supporting the 2 major parties. The DNC put it's weight and influence behind Hillary from day one. They forced a very bad choice on us. The GOP was somewhat hesitant to back Trump and by no means offered him the unconditional support that Hillary enjoyed. That said, the Reason Trump won is that the GOP has lost touch with their base and from what I can see don't care about it either. This arrogance they have comes from feeling bullet proof.

Both: I was, and still am, very happy to have voted for President Donald Trump. I also have a hard time thinking of ANYONE I'd like to have less than that POS HRC.
