    Which is worse in a Presidential Administration, the Cheney versus Trump comparison.

        Sure. But if we don't vote now we might not have the chance before impact.

        Trump is more evil than Cheney? You gotta be kidding.

        Between the racism and the hatred for science, I *think* so, tho could argue the other side.

        Cheney: torture, massive full-scale wars, drones, arguing constantly for several more massive full-scale wars. Neocon extraordinaire.

        Competency is always, ALWAYS the metric you need to be afraid of.

        I would have said Cheney B4 This. Now I say incompetence fosters corruption and makes neg. impact bigger and less controable.

        I can't answer this. Too hard. I think Trump gives me more anxiety, whereas Cheney made me more angry. Both sucked.

        Isn't there a third choice? Rationale and highly competent? I vote for that

        Not sure that Bush and Cheney are the true measure of hyper-competence.
