I agree, though "preferred" doesn't quite hit the feel of pence being merely less loathsome, less reprehensible, less execrable, less disgusting, and less dangerous.

Politics becomes dangerous when executive order replaces the three branches of government.
Not since 1968 has America been in such dark and uncertain times.
