I don't think either of them has a following among minorities, who might feel indifferent enough to not vote. Some minority leaders might be able to convince them of the importance of theur vote for the nation.

I am only looking at the situation pragmatically, now, without regard for my personal preferences. There will be time for personal choices in the future if we can get rid of the current scum first.
