If you are voting for Trump, you are trash and you deserve everything we get from him.
Thing about a third-party candidate winning, which so many people don't seem to get, is that it's likely the sort of thing that will have to gain gradually. The Libertarian candidate isn't going to go from 2% in one election to 38% in the next. There are going to be the 4%, 5%, and 10% years where the candidate will not win.
However, to get to the 38% (or whatever will be necessary to win the general election), you need those in-between years.
With this election, it seems like there is the least to lose. If Trump gets in office, he'll be completely inept and will resort to bullying, name-calling, and childlike temper tantrums that will make a lot of noise, but that won't accomplish anything. If Clinton gets in office, she'll be completely corrupt and will resort to some of the same, with fewer tantrums, but more intimidation. Again, it will make a lot of noise, but it will accomplish little.
This election makes it easy to vote third-party because, frankly, I don't have anything to lose.
