@ **adaher** — you’d prefer Clinton to win rather than Trump; do I recall that correctly?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you estimate the “goodness” for the U.S. of various possible 4-year Presidents? I might come up with something like  
Biden 9  
Clinton 8.5  
Sanders 7  
Christie 5  
Kasich 4  
Cruz 1.5  
Rubio 1  
Trump -3.5

Given the enormity of the competence gap between Clinton and Trump, this election is surely the most important of our lifetimes. The U.S.A. is faced with an existential crisis.

This is not the time to debate whether we like how Hillary combs her hair. Heck, she could confess to murder and it would still be clear to all rational observers that they should campaign as vigorously for her as possible!
