Either way, it is still a roll of the dice, which should considerably rejuvinate American politics. What the real difference is, has to be measured by who would make the most difference. This cannot be judged by who has the most forward thinking policies, only by who is actually going to get things done. Hillary would seem to have the edge on that score, but in the end it is just another roll of the dice. Democracy it seems, is just another form of gambling.
