I'm really tired of this "lesser of evils" non-sense. Most of you spouting this crap are speaking emotionally, not logically. It's fine if you don't like Hillary but it's idiotic to make like there's little difference between her and Trump. The differences are massive.
1. SCOTUS and Circuit Judge Appointments: This by itself is huge. These are lifetime appointments; the judges will be affecting policy long after the President who appointed them is gone. Hillary is going to appoint judges like Ruth Ginsberg. I don't think anyone has any idea of the type of judge Trump would appoint. You want to risk 3 or 4 more like Sam Alito?
The next President is going to determine the makeup of the SCOTUS for decades. This will impact separation of church and state, LGBT rights, women's rights, health care, and money in politics to just name a few. If this by itself doesn't motivate you to vote for Hillary then you are a damn fool.
2. Foreign Policy: Like Bill Clinton was, Hillary is highly respected overseas. Just as world leaders didn't give a shit about Monica Lewinski, they don't much care about Benghazi or private e-mail servers either. On the other hand, they have already come out and openly stated that they have no respect for Trump and would distance themselves from the US if he is elected. The UK - our closest ally - has gone so far as to consider banning him from entering their country. This isn't the lesser of evils, folks. This is night and day.
3. Economy: Hillary is in favor of raising the minimum wage to $12.50/hour. That would be the biggest bump in history. Trump on the other hand is a plutocrat and bad businessman. He's done nothing with the fortune he inherited but fail in one business venture after another. He's declared bankruptcy 3 times. The best thing that can be said for him is that he's managed to break even so as to not to go broke. Economic experts have said some of his ideas on dealing with the national debt would literally destroy the economy.
And this is just for starters. In the areas of race relations, environmental policy and scientific literacy just to name a few, it's night and day between the two candidates. There is no contest at all.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
