Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

It's no secret Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump aren't the most popular presidential candidates.

Clinton's critics argue that she is a calculated, career politician who doesn't seem very genuine. The uproar surrounding her private email server has become a lightning rod for people who see her as untrustworthy.

Opponents of Trump say he is an inexperienced and ill-tempered businessman with a long list of failures that make him unqualified for the Oval Office.

Neither candidate is perfect, so Slate compiled a list of Clinton and Trump's "sins" to help voters chose between the "two uniquely corrupt candidates."

The list includes some of Trump's most controversial moments on the campaign trail like when he said women should be punished for having abortions, called for a ban on some Muslims entering the US and vowed to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.

All told, Trump's list includes 239 "offenses and misdemeanors," as Slate put it, while Clinton's list only includes one: "Poor email server management."

Clinton has also been criticized for alleged impropriety surrounding the Clinton Foundation leading to accusations that Clinton ran a pay-to play-scheme with donors while she was secretary of state.
