A choice between Clinton and Trump? I say neither

Re “Hillary’s far from perfect, but the Donald would be utter disaster” letter by Bob Fournier.

The letter speaks of Hillary Clinton as the only choice. She knows government and all that stuff, and of course Trump doesn’t. I agree with that.

But, let’s face it, they’re both political disasters. God help us if either one gets in.

My only course of action is to vote for the best alternative. This same dilemma was presented to me as a citizen of Minnesota a few years back, and because both the Republican and Democratic candidates were so repugnant, we voted in a former Navy SEAL tuned wrestler as our governor.

It wasn’t that he was so great - a loud mouth blowhard, actually - but because the other two were so bad. I see the same case here.
