To many people, a vote for Trump is a vote against Hillary. It was a plain rejection of Hillary. The approval ratings of both Trump and Hillary were both so low, even in their respective parties. Many people voted within their party because they are declared in that party. Many independents went to Trump because of the idea of lesser of two evils.
I didn't vote because I disliked both candidates so much and even if I voted one way or the other my state has 3 electoral votes and is a red state through and through.

It's such a small percentage compared to the rest of the candies and given people's gambling addictions many would take the chance. Maybe we should stop comparing living breathing people to candies for terrible analogies.
