Hillary Clinton is a liar.

And so is Donald Trump.

Nothing to see there as most politicians are; it’s sort of a requirement for getting to office, using half-truths or flagrant fabrications to get to the White House.

One of the two — our guess is Clinton — will be our next president. And she certainly wouldn’t be the first president who has bent the truth to his, or in this case her, advantage.

Few folks are truly pleased with the two major party’s nominations for president, and many of those who cast their ballots will pick the “lesser of two evils.”

In Clinton’s case, this can be said: Regardless of whether you believe she is trustworthy and most don’t, she sports a pretty good resume on paper.

She spent eight years in the White House as the wife of one of the nation’s more popular presidents in Bill Clinton, who benefited from the Reagan peaceful dividend and a strong economy that wasn’t really his doing.

She was a state senator for New York, which she adopted out of convenience.

And she served the current administration as Secretary of State. That’s the good part of the resume.

What would not be on paper are the lingering questions of her — and the administration’s — handling of the Benghazi debacle. And let’s not forget how she had personal email servers set up that were ultimately used to send and receive classified information. No intent was found, so the FBI chose to pass on suggesting charges, a revelation that came just days after her husband Bill had a tarmac chat with Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Not very good optics.

The FBI did characterize Mrs. Clinton as being “very careless,” not exactly a bullet point on the resume.

And then there is The Donald, the self-proclaimed billionaire who was born into wealth, and has made billions in his life in between losing billions and filing bankruptcies. A businessman, television personality and author, Trump is proud not to list on his resume “politician,” though politicking is now his pastime.

We remain convinced that he ran for the Republican nomination on a dare, and is as surprised as most of the world that he is the last man standing. His exit strategy has been to undermine his own campaign by talking. That strategy failed miserably, thus the GOP is stuck with a candidate the party establishment will not endorse and half of Americans hate.

Trump, always bombastic, has spent his campaign saying whatever has come to his mind and then apologizing for it later. He has been called a racist and a sexist because he says racist and sexist things.

His plan is to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, but the details for this revival are unclear. He has mentioned building a wall, killing all the terrorists, and negotiating better trade deals, all populist notions that guarantee a cheering section.

So those are our nightmare choices: A career politician that no one trusts, or the anti-politician that no one trusts.

But wait.

There is a third choice in Gary Johnson, a rapidly-rising-in-popularity libertarian who served two terms as Republican governor of New Mexico. He is likely to set records as a third-party candidate and it’s no wonder, given choices D and R.

The uneducated will get hung up on Johnson’s casual views on recreational drugs, especially marijuana, which has cost this country billions of dollars and accomplished nothing more than clogging our judicial system with criminals who have themselves as victims.

But libertarians offer broader appeal. In modern politics they would be considered socially liberal, yet fiscally conservative, taking what we believe is the best from each party. They believe in individual rights — something lost on both of the major parties — and in the simplest terms essentially believe in living by The Golden Rule.

And, as far as we can tell, Johnson isn’t a liar.

So don’t get fooled into thinking you have just two choices come November. Johnson isn’t the likely winner, but your conscious could be clear.
