30. I voted the earliest that I've ever voted in a general election.

Mostly because Trump scares the crap out of me and Hillary was a FAR better candidate compared to him.

I was an idiot for "licking my chops" over Trump winning the GOP nomination a few months ago. In my mind, he was the worst GOP candidate ever and neither Hillary nor Bernie could possibly lose to him.

The polls leading up to the election, even after the debates, shook me. I was still confident in the days before the election that she'd win the electoral college, but I couldn't believe it was even close.
