Gun to my head I would take Clinton over Trump, but the Devil you know argument is pretty bad m'kay.
There'd be no need for her to do that. We've institutionalized our corruption to the point where they can get all the money and goodies and cushy jobs they want without breaking a single law. She's Establishment through and through. What you describe is the kind of crap I would hope Trump would do if he got in. If he just stuck to using crazy schemes to steal money he wouldn't do too much damage. And at least it would be more entertaining than politics usually is. No, I'm worried what he'd try to do with the military. I know what Clinton would do, i.e. the same stupid crap we've been doing for twenty years. Trump? Who the fuck knows?
