Basically all discussions about the 2016 elections come down to "your candidate is worse than mine".
There are no absolute criteria with which to judge the competency of any of the contenders.
The fault lies actually in the US Constitution: being a "natural-born" citizens is basically all (though even that can get tricky).
Unlike other countries, level of education, criminal record, political career, etc. are officially not a factor.
So are we stuck with picking the lesser evil, even if it was between two career criminals?
Or is there something that would disqualify anyone, no matter what?
