Last week's question: A new poll shows that 13 percent of potential voters would prefer to have a giant meteor crash into Earth and wipeout civilization than to see either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump elected president. In seven words or fewer, please come up with a campaign slogan that could boost voter support for the flaming meteor of death.
RESULTS:
THE WINNER: "Two Wrongs Make a Meteor-right"
