    are liberals really surprised that people aren’t all that impressed with a president whose main selling point is that he’s not as bad as the only alternative?

    When your opponent is Trump, it’s kind of hard for that to not be the main selling point; he could be the best president ever and that would likely still be true.

      he could be the best president ever and that would likely still be true.

      If he were the best president ever, he might have something better to run on than “at least I’m second worst to Trump.”

        You missed the point completely. But that being said, he barely even mentions trump. This idea that he’s only campaigning on not being trump is completely detached from reality.
