Better the devil I know than the devil I don't.
Not so sure about that.
Let's grant that we're truly screwed whether it's Trump or Clinton who takes the oath of office next January. The question is: who do we think can do the
LEAST damage?
The problem with Clinton is that she has the political wherewithal to cause irreparable damage, especially since it's likely that the Trump candidacy throws both houses of Congress to the Democrats.
Imagine Hillary Clinton naming 3+ justices to the Supreme Court, not to mention whatever mischief she and the Democrat Congress can make -- with the enthusiastic support of her media toadies.
Whereas I can't see Trump getting much done at all -- he'd be opposed by both parties in Congress, until finally they impeach him.
If there's a viable third choice, I'd like to hear about him.
