Voting conundrum

The front runners for the Republican and Democratic parties, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, have three things of critical importance in common, believe it or not:

  • Both are disliked by the majority of voters.
  • Both are not trusted by the majority of voters.
  • Both are not considered honest by the majority of voters.

These are key qualities that a voter should consider in the selection of a POTUS candidate and both candidates fail the test. That is quite a conundrum facing our country.
