In the general I vote on percentages: 100% is a king who would do everything I want. 0% is a tyrant who would do everything I don't want. Our Republic gives me between a 60% king and a 40% tyrant. This year's election is between a 44% and a 47%. I'll vote 47%.<br /><br />3. All my state's electoral votes will go to Hillary, so all my reasoning is meaningless.
