Comparisons between the two U.S. major party presidential candidates boggle the mind. On one hand, we have a sexual predator and, on the other, a sexual predator’s wife who attacks his victims.
On one hand, we have a wannabe criminal against humanity and, on the other, we have someone who already is.
And on both hands, we have economic criminals, promising four or eight more years of ruin.
But this is where decades of settling for the ‘lesser of two evils’ leaves us: with evil.
