All the fence-sitters can finally vote in this presidential election

I know that a lot of you feel that the choice in this election is between scary and dangerous. But I think I have discovered a way for you fence-sitters to finally make up your minds.

If you’re still repelled by what they both represent you can vote instead for the kind of headlines they’re likely to generate over the next four years.

For example, head of the House Government Oversight Committee Representative Jason Chaffetz has now promised that if Hillary Clinton is elected he will begin immediately re-investigating her. He told the Washington Post, “we’ve got two years’ worth of material already lined up.”

So a vote for Hillary is not so much a vote for the first woman president, as it is a vote for the impeachment of the first woman president. Which, now that I think of it, might make her more appealing to some Republicans. She’d also be the oldest president ever impeached and the first president to be impeached after her spouse was impeached.

As for Trump — well, I think he’s pretty much burned his bridges with the media, right?

“Who is more dishonest, ‘Crooked Hillary’ or the media?” he continues to ask.

So a vote for Trump is a vote for four years of sexual assault exposes, leaked tax returns, and leaked outtakes from “The Apprentice.”

So I think that makes it easier. A vote for Hillary means more of this:

“Committee on oversight and government reform will come to order…”

And a vote for Trump means more of this:

“He has refused to release his tax returns and now ignores questions about numerous allegations of sexual misconduct and assault.”

Let the voting begin!

Ross: Are we killing car culture? Or is car culture killing the US?

I don’t think the question is whether we're going to "kill" our car culture. The real question is can we stop our car culture from killing the U.S.?

Every move you make, every swerve you take, every lane change you fake – someone’s watching you. Do drivers have a right to keep driving data private?
