That's not what is happening, though, because if it was, there'd be some semblance of a consensus on which candidate is the best choice given that this goes well behind the typical "rinse and repeat" of policy choices and personality. This is not an election where "On balance, I'm more in favor of business interests and free markets, so I'm sticking with the GOP" talking points make any sense.
Painting this as a typical election cycle is exactly the problem. One candidate is telling people he is going to prosecute his political enemies (without articulating a legal basis for doing so) and even suggesting executions. But yeah, Joe is much worse.
