The Canadian national newspaper weighs in:
This U.S. election, unlike any since the Second World War, is white knuckle time for the rest of the world. Foreign governments dont want to interfere in your democracy, so they cant say what they really think about Trump. But we can. Were terrified.
We cant believe that given a choice between one mildly flawed candidate and another peddling an explosive combo of bad ideas, no ideas and zero self-control, youre having trouble choosing.
Above all, Mr. Trump is an authoritarian. Hes not much interested in ideas or rules, and that includes the U.S. Constitution, the most cerebral of government documents. His values and impulses are not those of the America the great American the world knows and needs.

Though I think we need to drop the "alt right" label and just start calling them white supremacists and Neo Nazis.

The trolls who love calling themselves "deplorable" are out in full force and posting absolute garbage about Hillary. 5 more days... 5 more days...
