I voted for Obama twice, and Hillary once.
I never bought into candidate Obama's "Hope & Change" thing during the campaign. Inspirational stuff means nothing to me. That's a Millennial thing.
President Obama left me cold with some issues (blown deficit negotiations; "red line" with Syria; no scalps taken on Wall Street after the crash), but did well with others (keeping us out of the Middle East; saving the financial system; presiding over the Dow reaching 20K).
Hillary was a total nose-hold vote, cast only because I thought she presented the best option for keeping Agent Orange out of the White House. I'm not sad she lost though.
If her defeat puts the Clintons out of politics for good, that will be a good thing. I just wish anyone other than Trump would have beat her (Kasich; I like Nikki Haley a lot too).
None of those votes translated to love. I think it's stupid to love a politician or invest any sense of personal loyalty in them.
I think politicians are mostly full of s**t. The ones who are least full of s**t - or not dangerous/insane - get my vote.
I know people are entitled to their vote but what I don't get is the personal loyalty a lot of these posters seem to have invested in Trump. It's as if acknowledging anything negative about Trump means surrendering something of themselves or admitting to something they don't want to own up to. That couldn't be further from the truth.
It leaves me scratching my head...
