    Two of the least popular options for President ever?

    Yes... and really the lesser of two evils.... I know that the behaviour of Trump has shown Clinton in a good light... and my American friends just want her to win as she is the least bad option

    Maybe if the question is 'who is to be in charge of the World', then we should all be allowed to vote on it. I would marginally prefer Hillary, but long for the day when the US presidential election is of no more significance to the rest of the World than that in Belgium. The good thing about Trump being elected is that we may, finally, wake up here in Europe and kick TTIP and CETA into touch, where they belong - maybe even NATO as well.

    For me about as palatable a choice as beetroot or trifle. Fortunately it's not one I have to make.

    Le Pen or Hollande would be just as bad. Think I would vote for someone else no matter what they promised to do.

    Although you may have to live with the consequences if either are chosen.

    I can only hope that Clinton's poor health makes people see sense, Trump shoots himself in the foot with his big mouth - and Dr Jill Stein romps home...

    With a chump in office at the moment, and two chumps bickering to replace him many Americans are looking to a third-party challenger.

    After his Aleppo gaffe Gary Johnson has done himself no favours - so another option continues to make ground in the polls....

    Please tell me you are joking.... she's a quack. Absolutely barmy. Twump is bully at worst and a popularist at best; Clinton is everything you'd expect from a lawyer-politician. None are ideal but only Clinton has the political nous and the intellect to be PotUSA.

    Graduated 'magna cum laude' from Harvard, then studied for six years at Harvard Medical School followed by 25 years as an internal medical practitioner as well as an instructor of medicine at Harvard - hardly deserves her the handle of 'quack'. I'd say she has more brains/more nous in her little finger than the other two in their combined bodies.

    And she still has all her faculties - Trump has never had any and Clinton lost hers some time ago.

    Not disputing her medical abilities, more some of her idealistic tendencies which may further affect world security (such that it is) and destabilise further the US and Europe (not that we aren't doing a decent job of that for ourselves). I'm distinctly unimpressed by all three.
