I'll speak for myself, but with respect to Biden's appeal, despite

him being a bit of a blowhard, I do feel like he genuinely has the best interests of the country in mind. I'm not so cynical to think that Hillary or Trump don't also care about what's good for the country, but I feel both of them (along with a lot of other politicians) are first and foremost about what is good for THEM. If it's also good for the country, that's a bonus. But if it's good for them, even if it hurts the country... well that's OK too.

I also have a soft spot in my heart for him because of his personal story losing a wife and child at a young age.
