We talk about people who are regretting voting for Trump now but

has anybody talked to or heard from people who did not vote at all and are now regretting it? Also, possibly people who voted for other presidential candidates on the ballot that regret not making a vote that would have ensured further that he might not have won?

If someone says they didn't vote, ask "Will you ever make that mistake again?". . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2017 #5

'uh, well, I just couldn't for Hillary'

(I only know a few people who claim to have voted for Trump, but they're changing the response to this now)

Most people I know didn't vote

The next time someone who didn't vote or voted 3rd party tells me that they just couldn't vote for Hillary, I'm going to say, "Oh, was Obama REALLY that bad?? Because voting Hillary would have basically gotten you more Obama! At least a lot closer to Obama, than what tRUMP is!"

several of these non voters. We have early voting and the Press gave the Election to Hillary eleven days out. Talk about coming back to bit you in the ass,one Congressional Seat ended up in our win column by less than a 1 % edge,and that was totally the early voting edge.

Back to the non voters,most just shrug their shoulders or my person won anyway. Duh!!!!
