For too many of us, it is more important that the other party loses than that our party wins. Indeed, the majority of the people who voted for Trump in 2016 (53 percent) did so more because they were rejecting Hillary; and the precise same percentage of Hillary voters said that their vote was more against Trump than for Hillary. This is unusual. In 2008, 68 percent of the people who voted for Obama said it was because they believed in him, and 59 percent of McCain voters said the same about their candidate.
