The typical career politician confuses the two. His moral compass is a weather vane, which is to say that he has no moral compass. Joe Biden is an excellent contemporary example. Career is everything. And so he flips and he flops, adjusting his views according to the prevailing winds. He is without principle except for the 'principle' of self-advancement. How could anyone of principle reverse himself on support for the Hyde Amendment? And a 'Catholic' no less!
It puzzles you that Trump gained traction? His not being a career politician is and remains a large part of his appeal. And this despite his manifold shortcomings.
Biden leads in the polls among Democrat voters due to name recognition. But he won't get the nomination: his senility is on display and will only get worse in the coming year. My money is on the Cherokee Maiden. She will win the nomination but not the election. Trump will send her back to the reservation with her tail between her legs.
