If you could have a casting vote on "Clinton + Brexit" or "Trump + Remain" which would you choose?

I would abstain. But Trump is constrained by the checks and balances built into the American government; if he were to become president, he would soon discover that shouting, "You're fired!" at Congress or the Supreme Court achieves nothing. In any case, he would be gone in four or eight years. Sooner, if he's impeached and convicted for corruption, as I would anticipate.

Brexit, on the other hand, is permanent and permanently damaging. There's no going back, and it might destroy the EU as well, which would be an economic disaster for the whole continent.

I would be reluctantly obliged to vote for Trump + Remain. Of the two, leaving the EU does the most long-term damage.
