Well, it has been set. Representing the Democratic party for the 2016 Primary election will be Hillary Clinton, and for the Republican party, it will be Donald Trump. I would like to take this time to use a comparison that I think best fits the choice that Americans are now faced with.
There is a popular game called, "Would you rather", and it goes like this. You are given a series of questions, all with two choices, and they are usually very tough to pick between. Why is it so tough to pick between two options you might ask? Well, usually the question is very hard and there is never a good option. For example; someone might ask, "Would you rather go a week in the Frozen Tundra or the Desert?" The reason that this comparison fits with the Presidential Election is simple; there are two options and they both suck.
I would like to take you through a game of would you rather and show you how tough it will be to choose between Trump and Hillary.
1. Would you rather be dropped into a pit of snakes or a pit of spiders?
2. Would you rather talk to a liar or a racist?
3. Would you rather have to eat a plate of mustard or a jar of hot peppers?
4. Would you rather walk across broken glass or hot coals?
5. Would you rather be stung by 100 bees or fight a bear?
6. Would you rather have to listen to painfully loud music for a week straight or be locked in a silent room for a week?
7. Would you rather have no internet or no car?
8. Would you rather only be able to eat one food for the rest of your life or one drink?
9. Would you rather ride a wild horse without a saddle or be chased by a rabid dog?
10. Would you rather be missing a leg or an arm?
11. Would you rather be the last person in the world or be locked in a room with way too many people?
Here comes the hardest would you rather question of them all. Would you rather have Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump as President of the United States?
