On the Democratic side, Biden is old, grieving, and just has no big positives for me. Hillary is smart, and a good leader. And hated by many, typically for things that aren't even true. Sanders is popular, but tarred with the label socialist (which people reflexively avoid, without understanding it.) How about Hillary/Bernie? The combo doesn't hurt her, since those who hate her won't care who her VP is, and it might help her win over some others. They both have decent ideas for the future, and seem to actually think, and understand reality.
Which brings us to the Republicans. I don't see much evidence of reality-based thinking among them. I still think Trump is a plant, a caricature of crazy Republicans who is doing his best to hurt them. Cruz is a cynical asshole. The others break down into lunatics and potential winners. Still, even Rubio and Bush, who are held up as the reasonable ones, have said ridiculous things and would be bad for the country.
We need someone who understands the world we live in, and wants to make it and our country better. The Supreme Court matters. Climate change matters. Foreign affairs matter. Show me a Republican who would do the right thing in any of those areas, and we can talk. See who's left in the clown car. I'll wait.
