Here are the pros and cons of each presidential candidate

Most people think Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump suck. They might have some redeeming qualities, but voters can feel between a rock and a hard place when they enter the booth on Nov. 8th.

I had to figure out a way to make a decision for myself as well. So, I did what I do for all my major decisions and wrote down the pros and cons of each. So, in case you’re still not sure how to separate the two, this might help.

Hillary Clinton

Con: Former First Lady of Bill Clinton.



Pro: Visited 112 countries as Secretary of State.

Con: Took a ton of vacations.
