So, I stayed home. I live in NY, the state was not in play, my vote was irrelevant from day one. But, I felt the best thing for this election is the fewer people who vote the better.

I stayed home during the primaries. It was all pretty disgusting. Even Rubio took things into the gutter.
I liked Huckabee, for one. One thing he said about politics was interesting -- "
if you can't stand the sight of your own blood, you better get out!"
I have a long standing policy about politicians -- don't pay attention to what they say, but what they do, and who they surround themselves with.
Trump surrounded himself with some people I respected, like Pence, Giuliani, Carson, Gingrich, etc.
Huma Abedin Weiner was a definite deal breaker for me, irrespective of all the Clinton issues, now widely broadcasted on WikiLeaks for all to see. For me it reeks of a puppet presidency a la Manchurian.
The real question in the aftermath of this election result, is what will happen to the FBI investigation of Clinton, now that AG Lynch will be the first to lose her job.
