Letters: A liar is much worse than a boor

Donald Trump’s comments are deplorable and an embarrassment. His words are no worse, however, than the actions of Bill Clinton, a serial sexual abuser, and Hillary, his No. 1 cover-up master. Her comments about the women Bill Clinton harassed are equal to or worse than the words of Trump. Both candidates are an embarrassment.

But she is an FBI-certified liar and has now been outed for her public vs. private positions on issues. I wouldn’t invite either to dinner with my family, but for president, I’ll take the boor anytime over the proven liar.
