As far back as I can remember, the crop of candidates up for president has always been the worst yet, and I am talking decades here. People gain comfort from familiarity, thats why Bill left with a 70% approval rating, having just lied to the American people
When Reagan got elected, everyone was saying that's it, nuclear devastation is here, but, he ended up changing the whole game for the better. Who predicted that prior to his election
People don't even need to have good intentions or bad intentions, things have a life of their own, that is much bigger than one person or even one country.
The simple reality is that if they are not good, they will be out on their ear in 4 years, so it really doesn't matter, and its impossible to judge who would be better or worse
