I don't view Hillary and Trump as even remotely equivalent. She's borderline dishonest at best and so insanely secretive there's no way she'll ever get the American public behind her. I don't expect to like politicians--which is handy because I really don't like Hillary. The Prez is just an executive so the most I want is competence, with a modicum of honesty thrown in whenever feasible.
The main problem with Trump, out of the many, is he genuinely hasn't the faintest idea of how the government is structured. Worse, he doesn't give a shit. He keeps promising all these wild things he's a-gonna do, many of them blatantly unconstitutional, and he's the only one who can solve problems. The arrogant asshole is running for Czar, not President. Even Ryan had to issue a careful reminder to him that, uh, Congress--remember them?--passes laws, not the President. And laws deemed unconstitutional still are still no-go, no matter how much shit Trump throws at the judges.
No, the ensuing shitstorm, even if Hillary is elected, will come because she might win the office but she sure won't have a mandate. Let's face it: she's wildly unpopular. The government has been gridlocked for 8 years because the GOP was determined to stonewall Obama as a matter of policy. There ain't an ice cube's chance in hell Trump and his brainless minions will ever accept if he loses. He's ranted endlessly about how the entire electoral system is "rigged", and has already rumbled about backtracking on his pledge to accept the outcome. Add an arrogant, tone-deaf Hillary on top of the already steaming shit pile we're in for a mess, no matter what.
I consider a Trump win as catastrophic while a Clinton win would just be damned distasteful. Maybe in four years...
