“Ugh-ly” choice: Clinton or Trump

Now what, Idaho? The presidential candidates the Gem State went for in its GOP primary and Democratic caucus in March have either abandoned ship or are dangling by dental floss from the bow. In fact, all of the Republicans who had Idaho backing from the time there was a 17-member GOP field until this week are footnotes: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (the Idaho GOP primary winner), Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. The Democrat who won in an Idaho landslide, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, is as popular as ever but unable to catch up to Hillary Clinton’s delegate lead. He gets his oxygen from the fraction of passionate followers who won’t let him give up. So, that’s it. It’s Clinton and Donald Trump, Idaho, two flavors of political castor oil the majority of people I run into are loathe to swallow./ Robert Ehlert , The Idaho Statesman. More here .
