Pulled this, as it seems to be overly-opinionated.

In "Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump", Lincoln appears once again, but is shown to favor Hillary over Trump in a "lesser of the two evils" fashion. Considering Lincoln was actually a third party candidate, it would have been a perfect opportunity for him to tear down both like he did in Obama vs Romney and remind everyone that they had more options than those two. Doubly glaring since, in Obama vs Romney, he outright said he didn't want the president to be "the shiniest of two turds", yet that's what he's settling for here.

There isn't really any indication that Lincoln considers Clinton "the lesser of two evils," simply a better choice than Trump. It seems the editor is projecting his dislike of Clinton on to the video.

I'unno, 'lesser of two evils' would be a pretty accurate description. Note that while he personally tears into Trump, he blames both of them for the level of the political debate hitting an all-time low. And even without that, the tidbit about Lincoln being a third party candidate, IF TRUE (don't have time to check it right now), means the comment makes a valid point about whether Lincoln would prefer a, ahem, better candidate out of the two. Then again, reportedly the third party candidates aren't that good themselves...

I won't readd this, but I don't think it should be removed either. And I don't think calling Clinton "lesser of two evils" is too opinionated for YMMV.
