Print a ballot!

Question

As you all know, today is election day!

Your task today is to print out a ballot, given an input.

If the input is Hillary Clinton, print:

Hillary Clinton   ===-----===>
Donald Trump      ===     ===>
____________      ===     ===>

However, if the input is Donald Trump, print:

Hillary Clinton   ===     ===>
Donald Trump      ===-----===>
____________      ===     ===>

If it is something else, write it on the third line:

Hillary Clinton   ===     ===>
Donald Trump      ===     ===>
Oliver Ni         ===-----===>

^{_{(Technically, I'm not 18 yet...)}}

Remember, this is code-golf, so the code with the fewest bytes wins.

Any max length on the name of "something else"? (There are 18 characters before the first equal sign in your examples) — Link Ng, Commented Nov 9, 2016 at 6:49
Is it case sensitive or insensitive? Judging by the test cases I'm assuming sensitive at the moment. — Kevin Cruijssen, Commented Nov 9, 2016 at 9:37

³ẇị⁾- x5⁾ =,”=x3¤j;”>ṭ   Helper link. Argument: row
³ẇ                       Check if the user's vote is in this row

      x5                 Take five of that character

Java 7, 390 339 335 bytes

String c(String s){String h="Hillary Clinton",d="Donald Trump",r=h+"   ===Q===>\n"+d+"      ===X===>\nZ===J===>";boolean H=h.equals(s),D=d.equals(s);for(int i=s.length();i++<18;s+=" ");return r.replace(H?"Q":D?"X":"J","-----").replace(H|D?"Z":"~","____________      ").replaceAll(H?"X|J":D?"Q|J":"Q|X","     ").replace(H|D?"~":"Z",s);}

Ungolfed & test code:

Try it here.

class M{
  static String c(String s){
    String h = "Hillary Clinton",
           d = "Donald Trump",
           r = h+"   ===Q===>\n"+d+"      ===X===>\nZ===J===>";
    boolean H = h.equals(s),
            D = d.equals(s);
    for(int i = s.length(); i++ < 18; s += " ");
    return r.replace(H?"Q":D?"X":"J", "-----")
            .replace(H|D?"Z":"~", "____________      ")
            .replaceAll(H?"X|J":D?"Q|J":"Q|X", "     ")
            .replace(H|D?"~":"Z", s);
  }

  public static void main(String[] a){
    System.out.println(c("Hillary Clinton"));
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println(c("Donald Trump"));
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println(c("Anyone else?.."));
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println(c("S"));
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println(c("Anyone who is willing to take the job"));
  }
}

Output:

Hillary Clinton   ===-----===>
Donald Trump      ===     ===>
____________      ===     ===>

Hillary Clinton   ===     ===>
Donald Trump      ===-----===>
____________      ===     ===>

Hillary Clinton   ===     ===>
Donald Trump      ===     ===>
Anyone else?..    ===-----===>

Hillary Clinton   ===     ===>
Donald Trump      ===     ===>
S                 ===-----===>

Hillary Clinton   ===     ===>
Donald Trump      ===     ===>
Anyone who is willing to take the job===-----===>

This answer is way too hacky, and way too long. I guess that's what you get when you design a golfing-language off of a text-editor. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

\$\begingroup\$ @conor That's correct, they both enter insert mode. The only difference is where in the buffer the cursor starts. There's also iIaAoOsSR that all enter insert mode in some way or another \$\endgroup\$

C#, 266 Bytes

Golfed:

string B(string s){var h="Hilary Clinton".PadRight(17);var d="Donald Trump".PadRight(17);var r="===     ===>\n";var c=r.Replace(" ", "-");var b="____________".PadRight(17);return s==h.Trim()?s.PadRight(17)+c+d+r+b+r:s==d.Trim()?h+r+d+c+b+r:h+r+d+r+s.PadRight(17)+c;}

Ungolfed:

public string B(string s)
{
  var h = "Hilary Clinton".PadRight(17);
  var d = "Donald Trump".PadRight(17);
  var r = "===     ===>\n";
  var c = r.Replace(" ", "-");
  var b = "____________".PadRight(17);
  return s == h.Trim() ? s.PadRight(17) + c + d + r + b + r :
    s == d.Trim() ? h + r + d + c + b + r :
      h + r + d + r + s.PadRight(17) + c;
}

Tried to create a Func for all those PadRights...Exactly the same byte count...

Testing:

var printABallot = new PrintABallot();
Console.WriteLine(printABallot.B("Hilary Clinton"));

Hilary Clinton   ===-----===>
Donald Trump     ===     ===>
____________     ===     ===>


Console.WriteLine(printABallot.B("Donald Trump"));

Hilary Clinton   ===     ===>
Donald Trump     ===-----===>
____________     ===     ===>


Console.WriteLine(printABallot.B("Kanye West"));

Hilary Clinton   ===     ===>
Donald Trump     ===     ===>
Kanye West       ===-----===>

i=input()
s=['Hillary Clinton','Donald Trump','_'*12]
if x not in s:s[2]=i
for k in s:print(f'{k:18}==={" -"[k==i]*5}===>')

Uses 3.6's new f-strings.
