It’s a battle for the White House between Trump and Clinton but for voters, bombarded with scandal after scandal, it’s a choice between the “lesser of 2 evils.” As America decides, RT offers an unbiased, and sometimes humorous, look at the candidates.
Both presidential hopefuls have made robust statements throughout their campaigns - Trump’s rhetoric on women, Mexicans, veterans and Muslims has been heavily criticized.
Clinton, meanwhile, is no less “evil” than her Republican counterpart in the eyes of many voters. This perception stems from the email scandal, which shed light on the apparent hypocrisy of her Wall Street speeches, her campaign's coordinated attacks on Bernie Sanders, and her backtracking on issues ranging from the Iraq War to TPP.
