To the Editor:

We have three “serious” candidates remaining for the Presidency of the United States, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Donald Trump.

If they all worked in the same kitchen, Trump would be the boucher (butcher), Sanders would be the confiseur (confectioner), and they’d both work for Hillary Clinton who would be the chef de cuisine (head chef).

Here’s why. Trump is good at working with raw meat. He knows just how to chop it and where to toss it, but that’s it. He has no idea what happens to it next, or that anyone else is even in the kitchen.

Sanders, on the other hand, deals in confections. His creations are made of spun sugar, all light and airy, but with no real substance.

Clinton is the kitchen wonk, experienced in all aspects of kitchen work. She has lost some of her youthful idealism for the perfect kitchen after all these years, but she hasn’t lost her vision of a better kitchen for everyone.
