Nah, they were both the worst candidates in a generation.
Each of them would have run us further and faster down the road from a  limited government with division of powers and checks and balances, and towards an unlimited government whose only check is the opposing party.  Senators should care more about the prerogatives of the Senate than they care about who wins the white house in the next election. But that's not where we live anymore. The Senate is no longer a check if they're the same party as the president. If they're a different party, they are a check, but really it's the other party who is a check.
Once the only check is the other party, the next step after that is one of the two parties holds power long enough to mess with elections, and keep the other party from ever winning one, and we become a single-party unlimited government like the Roman empire or 20th Century Mexico.
a good president would be trying to reverse this trend by being less personally divisive and working to reform election laws so that third parties can play a bigger role.
Hillary would have tried to not be divisive, but she's naturally a divisive person.  Trump is divisive on purpose.
