Maybe Obama spoiled us, but honestly....At this point, I'm not feeling any of the candidates on any side. You have a pack of lunatics on one side, and a pack of boring idiots on the other. They all have mentioned Eisenhower in their debates, but I don't see a candidate of Eisenhower or even Obama's caliber among them. You've got:
-An utterly corrupt, tired old political dinosaur
-A goofy old Socialist who only talks about one issue
-A psychopath with a bad toupee who only talks about one issue
-A hobgoblin Joe McCarthy look-a-like who wants to take America back a hundred years or so
-A junior Senator who thinks he's the Cuban JFK....With none of Kennedy's charm or intellect
-A milquetoast former governor who no one cares about
-A brain surgeon who is a loonytune who is probably on heavy drugs
-A vicious, shrill, job shredding harpie
-A 1990s Republican no one cares about
-A boring, borderline mentally challenged Shrub
Where's the Obama of 2016? Where's the stand-out, exciting candidate who has good ideas and a good presentation to along with it? This election is both a joke and actually pretty depressing.
Are these supposed to be attacks? "Goofy old socialist" must be the most substantive attack I've heard in my life. To answer your question, there aplenty of good candidates on both sides.
Democratic: Sanders, O'Malley, Chafee, and Webb are all good candidates.
Republican: Kasich, Pataki, Graham, Gilmore, and Trump are all good candidates.
