Better a nit of wit than a louse. Better a mangy cat than a rabid dog. Better the scurrying of mousy progressivism gnawing at the fabric of society in the White House than a rat on the Oval Office desk. Better to root up the garden of free enterprise with the Democratic pig than run off a protectionist cliff with the Gadarene swine Republican. Better a Scylla rock of a Clinton, which can be climbed and conquered, than a Charybdis whirlpool that takes us down the toilet with Trump.
