Are Trump and Hillary both a bust?

You're preaching to the choir but, then, so is everyone else. When you see "idiocy" in most of these posts, what do you do? Now tell us, how do we grow up, stop voting for losers and find a leader who is unbiased, morally straight, and historically versed... wait, you just described me! Of course, I wouldn't want the job. As a matter of fact, that may be your answer. No one you would want would want the job. Who would? The nation is divided, not the President. The economy is beyond the President's control. We're better off if good business men and women stay home and mind the store. There's nothing they can do in Washington except make the situation worse. Oh, and one last thing: Those people who you think are idiots think you are an idiot. Don't feel bad. They call me an idiot too...

What choice do we have? In the current system we can vote for a major party candidate, or risk our vote on a third party. I say risk because if a strong third party candidate pulls enough electoral votes away, then there is the possibility that no candidate will reach the 270 required to become president. This will leave the House with the responsibility of voting for a candidate themselves. With the current make-up of the House, it could very well mean President Trump if the Reps follow party lines.

Yes, none of the leading candidates are worth the vote, but I don't see another easy way out. In theory, a strong 3rd party candidate could force the 12th amendment House vote and get in that way, but I think that would be a long shot.
