But if they don’t like Hillary, why would they vote for her? I don’t understand this logic. If they don’t like her, they probably wouldn’t have voted for her regardless of who else is on the ticket, and most likely did not think Trump was that bad. Furthermore, frankly it’s long overdue a third party had power in government. I do not see how not voting for your candidate is childish.

Obviously it all comes down to opinion. I personally don’t think just “not liking” someone is enough to disqualify them. The job is bigger than that and you need to look at the alternatives and decide what is really the best outcome for the country. If almost any other candidate was on the Republican ticket, I’d agree. Vote for whoever you want. We definitely need a third party, I agree. But there’s a time and place for these things. Trump was an extraordinary circumstance that had to be stopped. That’s just the way I saw it, and seeing how he’s handling things, I’m not too sure I was wrong.
