What is the candidate's fundamental moral/ethical foundation? How does s/he behave toward others, from their family to the store clerk? How does s/he deal with personal failure? Does s/he ignore or excuse it or deal positively with the consequences? How does s/he use any power they've been given? Is s/he careful with it or do they use like a club?

In short, do they give a damn about anything or anyone besides themselves?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
