Pierre, of course, Clinton won’t purposely cause Armageddon, but her bellicosity towards Russia and her insistence no fly zones (something Obama is against) in Syria is more likely to cause it than Trump, who seems to want to avoid clashing with Russia, as Clinton constantly points out (as if that is a bad thing). I know it is something we hope won't happen, and I hope your (and Mark's) idealism is justified. I really do.

David,
That’s silly: Trump is scary in more random apocalyptic ways; HC is just a continuation of the same, in some departments possibly an improvement on Obama, in one, foreign policy, not an improvement though she is unlikely to unleash any kind of apocalypse, exactly because her (too close) links with wall street etc. will keep her on the straight and narrow as far as the survival of capitalism is concerned. And apocalyptic war would benefit only one tiny slice of the capitalists for one tiny moment, while 90% & more would lose in case of armageddon. p.s. American Presidents are elected for four years, not five.
