I don't know about you. But on the one hand there's an obvious bigot and idiot and on the other an intelligent corporate shill, at least granting that things don't get worse than they already are. If I had a horse in the American race, I would know my choice. Not because of liking the alternative, but because the other side is so much worse.

It is rather a sad state of affairs that USians are going to have to choose between the imperfect and the insane.

No, Hilary is going to win and I for one will not take part in helping her do so.

Was that before he was replaced by Wallace who was replaced by Truman?

Disagreed.

Really? You don't see any difference between Hillary and TRUMP? Hillary is just another typical American politician.
Trump, on the other hand, is an ultimate egomaniac and the epitome of narcissism.

Hilary is a better politician. She conducts herself better and doesn't say nearly as many obnoxious, stupid things. But as far as the quality of the person goes, to me, they are one and the same - both dishonest crooks. I cannot in good conscience give my vote/support to either.

Hillary could win and it will be one of the worse days in American history.
