Hillary Clinton is not the lesser of two evils. She has never been. When one examines the facts, there is no contest between Clinton and Trump. Donald Trump has a real rap sheet that should disqualify him from being president. Hillary Clinton’s “crimes” are conspiracy theories that have been cooked up by the conservative media’s anti-Clinton conspiracy cottage industry that has spent decades as a robust source of profit for conservative authors and media.
The idea that Hillary Clinton is the lesser of two evils is a lazy media narrative that was created by corporate mainstream talking heads only interested in false equivalence to keep ratings and interest up during an election. It would take too much effort for the media to discuss the fact that Clinton’s approval ratings are a byproduct of decades of Republican attacks on her last name combined with the extreme polarization of the electorate.
2016 isn’t a lesser of two evils election. It is a base election that may turn into a rout because Republicans made the foolish decision to nominate a candidate with a closet full of evils to run against the most competent and qualified candidate to a major party’s nomination in the modern era of American politics.

Voting for Trump is a form of nihilism that the next president, no matter whom, will need to explore, understand and seek to remedy. The new president and we as a nation would benefit from understanding why, for example, distressed taxpayers who live paycheck-to-paycheck and whose American Dream has been dashed would vote for someone who gained his American Dream through inheritance, exploitation, tax evasion, bankruptcy and the misfortunes of people like themselves — and why they would reject someone who gained her American Dream on merit, married once, hasn't divorced, and knows how to change a diaper.
We perceive in Clinton the capability to bridge the divide — to define rather than exploit our problems and pursue intelligent solutions. Her "basket of deplorables" comment made the task more difficult but it was a rare lapse by an otherwise level-headed servant leader with a history of self-correcting resilience. The former senator's Republican colleagues remember her fondly as a middle-ground-seeking master of the art of deal-making. If there is to be a return to bipartisanship, she is the one to lead it.
The woman who memorably declared that women's rights are human rights and that it takes a village to raise a child is the candidate who has the right priorities and the perceptiveness to make this divided but great country greater.
Well said. There is no way that Hillary Clinton is comparable to Donald Trump as a politician. There has been a new narrative ever since Trump won the nomination too.
Anti-Trump Republicans have spinned it as if the only person that Hillary could have defeated was Trump. Do they forget that Trump cakewalked his way through the Republican field during the promaries? Do people forget how they kept touting the fact that Trump was the perfect person to run against her because it was a "change" election?
This notion that she is such a weak candidate is garbage. She is and has been pretty formidable throughout her career. Trump has no chance if he attempts to debate her on policy. It's not because she hasn't made mistakes because she has. He isn't the guy to exploit them however. They (Republicans) wanted an "outsider" which is nothing more than code for Amateur.
This notion that Democrats aren't necessarily excited about her lacks merit too. She isn't a fresh new face and I don't want her to be either. She is a grizzled veteran that understands how the game is played and knows how to get things done.
