“Good news: we have two terrific candidates this election.
Bad news: One of them will win.”
Paul Rodriguez, comedian.“Don’t vote. It only encourages them.”
Bumper sticker in Scotland.
In what election in the US tonight were there two terrific candidates? I can’t think of any.
We had a local race for judge where the candidates were both pretty good.
“Terrific”, according to Merriam-Webster, is derived from the Latin terrificus; from terrere, meaning “to frighten”; and the primary definition given is “Very bad; frightful”.
