Describing the Choice

This [Post-Truthers, Bullshiters and Politics] has the best one paragraph description of the election I've seen.

The only thing surreal about the US presidential election is the choice of the two candidates who contested the final vote– one a megalomaniacal chancer who looted his own “charitable” foundation to pay for portraits of himself, the other a craven opportunist with no deep convictions except for her entitlement to rule.  Both are crooked and avaricious.

pretty much nails it.
