I don't think Reg has said Hillary is worse than Trump, Marc (but I'll let Reg speak for Reg). He admits that she is at least sane! Notwithstanding her long history of opportunism, lies, lack of principles, etc. She is sane! She understands the way the world works. She is a tireless worker who knows her stuff. Trump is intellectually lazy, ridiculously thin skinned, and profoundly ignorant of the world. I am more qualified to be president than he is (and I've never felt that way about any prior candidate). I implore you, Marc. Listen to the podcast conversation I just posted between Sam Harris and Andrew Sullivan. Yes, you'll have to devote 2 hours to it, Marc, but you can find the time. If you want to fast forward to the 27 minute mark, that's when the Clinton takedown begins. The utterly devastating critique of Trump begins at 1 hour 27 minutes.

Do you really want Trump with the nuclear codes? In the event of what would reasonably be perceived as a nuclear missile launch aimed at the US, the president has less than 15 minutes to decide if it's genuine or not, and whether we should retaliate. If you honestly think Trump can better handle what would be the most stressful 10 - 15 minutes in the history of the world, then cast your vote for him. But think it through. Is his judgment better than Clinton's?

I posted this terrifying and illuminating article a few months back, but it's worth rereading:
