Neither of them are as bad as what we see int he rest of the world, and I have said that before.
But I want to illustrate this with an analogy.
Suppose we were members of a corporations board of trustees and we had one candidate for CEO that was rude and ruffled feathers, but he had success with turning around other corporations that had been losing money before. And the other was a guy who was a competent CEO but who had friends in very questionable circles that had a reputation for skirting the law to get things done.
I think most people would feel better having the CEO with the rude style but effective policies, rather than take risks with someone who had shady associates.
But either of them could lead the company and none of them would be prone to cannabalizing the company to unmake it entirely.
While I have toned down the extremes quite a bit here, I think the analogy valid, and no one needs to slit their wrists or move to Australia if the other candidate wins.
But if Hillary wins I would recommend divesting from stocks, lol.
