True! Every vote NOT for Hillary meant that Trump needed one LESS vote to surpass her. It was to Trump's advantage whenever someone decided to "not vote" or to vote for Stein, or to vote for Johnson, or to write-in Bernie's name or to write in Mickey Mouse.

We have a defacto TWO PARTY system. In a national election, the winner will belong to one of TWO PARTIES. Either the Democrat or the Republican will win. No other party will win the presidency. Everything else is just a protest vote or a vanity vote.
