[@SleepingSilence] XD. No worries. Also don't feel so alone. I'm a Christian, myself. 

Also I'm an Independent, politically. And by that, I don't mean I vote for the Independent party. They've given Independents a bad name, recently. I mean I vote without party affiliation. I wasn't overly fond of Hillary Clinton becoming president, but I will happily say I voted for her because I was/am anti-Trump. I don't hate the guy, but he's a clear fool. His last 120+ days have proven it all over the board. Though I'm starting to think I'd rather him than Mitch McConnell handle our healthcare.

I couldn't help but find it funny that I am essentially the same as you: Christian, and independent politically, but found myself going in a much different direction.  I found both candidates to be atrocious, Trump for being his uncouth self and Hillary for embodying the corrupt establishment heavily entrenched in power.  Finding myself unhappy with both of them, I voted third party even though I knew they would not get the votes needed to even take one state, though I do hope this can happen in the future as the Republican and Democratic parties are falling apart at the seams.

While I could not bring myself to vote for Trump even though I consider Hillary to be a lying scum-bag with virtually no moral compass whatsoever[her campaign strategy certainly didn't help her image any + all them scandals], I still found myself hoping that Trump would win the presidency.  The number one reason for this being getting a constitutional judge on the Supreme Court, if Hillary had been elected, God help America with whatever loony hard core liberal she would have tried to put on there.  The hard stance on illegal immigration was a plus and also a faint hope that a business man might have the know-how to help the economy.

I could certainly say I was essentially the opposite of you, anti-Hillary but even that wasn't enough to push me to vote for Trump.

As for 2020, Trump will get a second term if he is able to bulldoze through the establishment and get even a few of the things on his agenda done.  Considering all that he has accomplished in his short time as president he can certainly get a lot more done in three years time.  Unless the democrats can somehow get their acts together and stop acting like violence against dissenting voices is a good thing, they will be unable to find a person who can run against Trump in 2020.

Of course what I hope will happen is that because Trump was kind of like a third party runner using the Republican party, this will encourage more third parties to get into the race who could give us people we might actually [i]want[/i] to vote for.  Here's to hoping for the rise of third parties as viable alternatives in political races!  Gotta break apart the bi-partisan effort to keep everyone else out of political races.  You ever look at the requirements for non-Republicans/Democrats to run for some offices?  Pretty crazy how much harder they make it for other people.
