What do you do when you cannot stand either presidential candidate?


On November 8, 2016, we will choose our 45th American president. The final two candidates are Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (D), and Donald John Trump (R). So which candidate deserves to become the next president? What happens if you don’t like your options? This election features two of the most disliked and untrustworthy candidates we have seen in years.

Last week, Christie Thompson of the Cincinnati Enquirer addressed the same question that’s been on my mind and the minds of others. She wrote a great story titled “Ohio voters don’t like Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Now what?”

Unfortunately, Thompson couldn’t suggest anything to make anyone feel more secure in choosing a candidate. Both candidates have different backgrounds. Trump is a wealthy land developer that loves making money. He even wrote a top seller called “The Art of the Deal” and graduated from the Wharton School of Business—a fine school that sends thousands of smart businesspeople into the world.

Trump’s opponent, Clinton, is a former first lady, Secretary of State and graduate of the Yale law School, which is another fine institution that educates many of the world’s finest barristers. However, Clinton, is a career politician. Although some claim Trump’s inexperience in politics should exclude him from the presidency. 

I disagree with this assessment since career politicians become set in their ways and focus more on keeping their power than worrying about their constituents.
