Sean Hannity explains why he's voting for Donald Trump. Ana Navarro explains why she isn't.

"I want to lay out my argument for what's at stake in this election," Sean Hannity said on Fox News Monday night. "This is as big a choice election as I've seen in my lifetime," he said, describing it as a decision between Donald Trump, "a candidate who says he'll drain the swamp in Washington and bring about real change," and Hillary Clinton, "the most corrupt career politician who's ever run for this office." Hannity grounded his critique in history. "Now back in 2008, I tried to warn all of you, I wanted to warn the country about how radical President Obama was," he said, after running through a list of alleged Clinton scandals. "I was right about how terrible he'd be for the country, and Hillary Clinton, that's going to be more of the same. If you elect Hillary Clinton tomorrow, you're going to get the government you deserve — and guess what? Anyone who supported her, you own it."
As of Election Day, Obama has an approval rating of 56 percent, according to Gallup. Ana Navarro is a Republican strategist from Florida, and a supporter of Jeb Bush. On CNN on Monday night, she explained her vote. "I had decided to write-in my mother as a symbolic protest vote against the Democratic and Republican nominees," she wrote. "I had hoped that a week before the election, Trump would be losing Florida by a large enough margin that my vote wouldn't matter. But darn it, my home state is too close to call," she said, so "I cast my vote for Hillary Clinton. Let me rephrase that. I cast my vote against Donald Trump. I did it without joy or enthusiasm. I did it out of civic duty and love for our country." You read her make her case at CNN and watch below. Peter Weber
