 True, and I can't say the Republicans are doing any better. There are

I've heard definite enthusiasm for both Vance and Rubio as Trump's
successors. I don't know if any of the rest of his cabinet or major
appointments is similarly favoured.
 
Personally, I've always preferred Ted Cruz over Trump

Ted Cruz is great but he's been unfortunately saddled with resembling a
grown-up Eddie Munster, which in this TV world where appearance matters as
much (if not more) than substance will leave him forever aspiring to higher
office but never achieving it.
