Voting for Trump because you are unhappy with the current politics, is like drinking out of the toilet in a pub because you dont like ther beer.
I look at it more like this,

Trump says he's selling bologna sandwiches. He hasn't sold any sandwiches before, but in the past has expressed a particular fondness for vegemite sandwiches. Sone people suspect he doesn't really plan to offer any bologna sandwiches if elected and will instead offer the same faux-vegemite sandwiches shilled by his 'opponent'.

Hillary markets her Vegemite sandwiches as Nutella sandwiches. Everyone knows their not Nutella and they smell like shit for some reason.

Game theory urges me to take my chances with the bologna sandwich. It may be great. It may even have a tomato. If it is not, or if it turns out Trump does end up only offering vegemite or even faux vegemite sandwiches, then I am no worse off than I would have been going with Hillary's shit sandwich. And, there is a chance that in the process, Trump's foray into sandwichdom may make some waves and lead to better sandwiches in the future. With Hillary, we can be assured that accepting her offering only strengthens the resolve of shit-sandwich manufacturers and we can expect more indefinitely.

Does that make sense Domo?
