David Harsanyi argues that voters should reject both major parties in the face of two reprehensible demagogues. He warns that backing Trump risks alienating moderates, boosts Clinton odds, and suggests a write‑in or third‑party option to prevent entrenched polarization. He notes Trump’s rhetoric harms Republican credibility with women and the press focus will intensify on Trump’s past business dealings.
