Sore losers now get the privilege of saying "well you voted for Trump" without stating what would have been a better alternative for someone with a conservative ideology. WTS, I was all in on Jim Webb, it's just the DNC only had one candidate they wanted to support. 

Someone who is all in on supporting Trump saying they "would have voted for a democrat if it was (fill in the blank)" is just empty.  Especially when their main excuse is they didn't "like" Clinton, so the unprepared guy who claims to never make a mistake is the better choice. 

It's the self-justification of knowing they support an awful person, who most people knew was awful and would not be "presidential" (or even "modern presidential").

And I know plenty of people doing incredible mental gymnastics to defend their choice.  One libertarian is just in fits saying Rand Paul defending Trump is the right thing to do...while saying Trump is just another statist and Clinton is the Devil.
