"Therefore, since the world has still... Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
You're still describing two long-shot rolls of dice.
What if the question were posed this way:
"Would you rather stand up against the wall while I fire 100 bullets at you, or 1 million bullets at you?"
Hopefully you'd be sane enough not to play that game, rather than rest on the higher statistical likelihood of a less possible worse outcome by choosing one of the options over the other.

I think Donald is a doof. I support his candidacy only because the choice before us is "guns are bad" vs "guns are not bad". Very simple.
I read somewhere that HRC has not had a driver's license since 1994 because she is chauffeured everywhere by some combination of state or private security. When you wake up in, live in, and exist in, a world like hers you get a very warped sensation about a lot of normal things. She literally thinks that what she thinks is a harbinger of truth. Similar to Bloomberg, these people are beyond the scope of narcissism...they think they are gods themselves.
I know that I feel better every day for the role that we played in stuffing Garland's confirmation. His decision to intervene in NYSRPA is absurd. He apparently felt that it was especially important to argue against a right protected in the federal constitution and in favor of a state law violating that right. Less than two years ago, OSG argued on behalf of NYSRPA and against NYC in what was arguably a less clear case.
Many on the left aren't happy with him either for they seem him as slow and soft on the Jan. 6 folks. Another factor positive for NYSPRA is that RBG's ego (which was fed by the notorious RBG media meme) kept her in the place as she was sure Hillary was a win. Breyer seems to be going the same way, which is not good for his orientation.
