The Question: Who Is Worse?

Ed Rogers blogs politics from a conservative perspective for The Washington Post. Today he considers the probable state of the presidential race from here to November. It looks an MMA cage match followed by mud wrestling and a duel with chain saws.
This will be an election unlike any other in the modern era. Two wildly flawed candidates for president will try to convince voters that the other is the one more unfit for office.

For the next few months, the media will ensure the race stays competitive and will sustain wall-to-wall coverage of every insult and barb. Much of the media will do Trump's work for him by simply repeating what he says. He knows how to effectively leverage the media.

Nothing is out of bounds for him, there's no place he won't go and nothing is too low.

Trump will dish it out, he can take it and none of his tactics have caught up with him so far.

Clinton's brand is already sullied and running against Trump will not be a flattering experience.
