The Last time Republicans were in office, they increased the national debt as a means to end the Cold War once and for all, without a single shot being fired. Reagan's huge increase in military spending caused the Soviets to increase their spending to keep up. The economy of the US was strong enough to shrug it off. That of the USSR was weak, and collapsed. Russia still hasn't really recovered from ~65 years of rape by an oppressive military dictatorship, but at least the Russian people have more freedoms than they did previously...

Another point. Both of the candidates would, in my opinion, be horrible to have in office. Its simply a question of which would be the least of the two evils.

Indeed. Unfortunately, there is no lesser of two evils in this case...
