Sympathy for the [Hillary] Devil

The 2016 presidential campaign has already led me to one decision that cuts deeply across my political grain. If the election was today, I'd vote for Hillary Clinton. I think she's an awful choice, but when the alternative is a mealy-mouthed, shit-talking salesman, she's the least awful choice.

But I can at least hold on to my dislike for all things Clinton, right? I can still nurture the distrust I've developed for that family ever since the last time I voted for one of them, which was for Bill's second term as the governor of Arkansas, can't I?

Apparently not.
