VA. I expect Clinton will win it, but my criteria to not vote for Trump isn't so much "do I think there is a strong chance he'll win", but more like "is there any realistic chance for him to win". Even if it was a tossup (and it isn't it clearly leans to Hillary), the chance that my vote would make a difference would be minuscule (more likely to get in to a severe car accident in the short drive to vote), but if defeating Clinton in the state is even moderately possible I feel I should play my part. If it isn't moderately possible, then I don't want to give someone like Trump the endorsement of my vote. My main reason for voting for Trump at all is judicial appointments. Not that I'm very confident about what Trump has said in this regard but I'm confident Clinton would be bad here. Next after that might be Obamacare (although I'm not confident that it will go away or be massively reformed). On other issues I'm either not sure Trump is better then Clinton, or not sure he could do much about the issue. In terms of personality I don't like either or them (or at least the public face they show, its not like I know either of them personally). As I've said before I would have preferred any of the other Republican contenders to Trump. I wasn't super exited about any of them, but tend not to get too exited by politicians.
