Between those two, I'd vote for Satan... He's more likely to mess up the country less, and everyone knows what he's about so - for once - everyone would actually read every word of every bill before sending it to him and congress would take their authority back from the presidency.

In a race between Hillary an Satan, I would probably not vote. I have to admit that you make a convincing argument here.

"As Alexander Hamilton writes in “The Federalist Papers,” the Constitution is designed to ensure “that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.” The point of the Electoral College is to preserve “the sense of the people,” while at the same time ensuring that a president is chosen “by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice."

Let me get this straight. Electors from states that Trump won may vote for someone other than Trump and may use Hamilton as their justification to make sure “that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.”. Presumably, Trump is not a man of “eminent degree”. Understanding this principle is a sign of superior intellect.

These same people have no problem with electors voting for Hillary. Presumably, she is a woman of “eminent degree”. Let’s review some facts.
Hillary:
• Lied about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia.
• Lied about being named after Sir Edmund Hillary.
• Lied about the gun industry being protected from any type of liability.
• Set up a personal E-mail server in violation of law, not to mention common sense.
• Lied about sending or receiving classified documents on her unsecured E-mail server.
• Withheld support during the Benghazi attack during which Americans were killed, including our ambassador and then lied about it being caused by a Youtube video
• Took money from Saudi Arabia, a country where a woman can go to prison for being raped, and then accused Trump of misogyny.

Trump was not my first, or even second choice. In a race between Hillary and anyone, I am going to vote for Hillary’s opponent unless her opponent is Satan. In that case, for the first time in the post-Regan era, there really would not be a lesser of two evils.

Nice vetting!

Wow. This stuff is stranger than fiction.

if it was attempted in a novel the editor would tell the author it wouldn't work, it's too unbelievable.

The difference between truth and fiction is that fiction must make sense.
