As for accomplishments, Trump has none in politics, and business accomplishments do not automatically transfer into government.
Hillary Clinton has been in politics for decades. But does she have even a single serious accomplishment to show for it? In the Senate, she accomplished nothing, and as secretary of state far worse than nothing.
Secretary Clinton carried out the foreign policy that destroyed two governments of countries which posed no threat whatever to America or to American interests in the Middle East. Each country is now moving in the direction of one of our two most dangerous enemies, Iran and Russia.
Egypt is now planning joint military exercises with Russian forces. Libya has already seen the rise of Islamic terrorists who killed the American ambassador whom the Clinton State Department refused to provide the security he asked for repeatedly.
So much for track records. As for personal character, would you want either of them living next door to your family?
Donald Trump seems to think that it is OK for the government to seize someone else’s home and turn the property over to him, so that he can build something — without having to pay what it would cost him to buy the home. We can’t even discuss what he has said about women in a family newspaper. Add an almost childish egomania and you have a 70-year-old adolescent.
Hillary Clinton is fundamentally very similar. But, having spent decades in the political limelight, she is far more experienced at concealing her ruthless and cunning contempt for anything and anybody that gets in the way of her personal enrichment and power. That includes contempt for the law.
The issue before voters
The issue before the voters, however, is not which of the two is the worse person. The issue is which is more dangerous to the future of America. Nor is this just a question of what will happen in the next four years.
Whoever becomes president of the United States can appoint Supreme Court justices able to destroy the Constitution by “interpreting” its protections of freedom out of existence — not just for the next four years, but thereafter.
Hillary Clinton is already on record as wanting a Supreme Court that will overturn recent decisions protecting free speech and upholding the right to bear arms. Everything in her past shows a contempt for law that makes her a very credible threat to dismantle the Constitution, whenever it gets in the way of her agenda.
All it takes is a Senate controlled by fellow Democrats to let a President Clinton’s judicial nominees be confirmed automatically, no matter how little regard for the Constitution those nominees have demonstrated.
Donald Trump shows no such ideological agenda and has no such automatic support from congressional Republicans as to have them rubber stamp either his judicial nominees or whatever other agenda he has.
More than that, Trump can be impeached if he oversteps the bounds, without either the Republicans or the media screaming loud protests.
Trump seems to pose much less danger — which, unfortunately, is the most we can expect this particular election year.
