Mencia told the Star this week that he wasn't going to endorse a candidate during his show Casino del Sol's AVA this Saturday, but he will talk plenty of smack.
Mencia described the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump like this in Caliente:
A perfect race: “I feel like these are the two perfect people to run for president at the same time because had it not been these two, it would have been a landslide either way. Anybody else running against Trump would have demolished him. And anybody else running against Hillary would have destroyed her. I think what happened in America is we picked the two people who have genital herpes and now it’s like, (expletive), who do we pick? ‘She hasn’t had an outbreak in a long time. Oh, (expletive), she just got one! He got one, too.’”
