Why is there now an extremely visible difference between the two parties, an actual meaningful choice?

Do you prefer a choice between actual differences as between a continuation of managed American decline, or an honest attempt to restore American economic power? The complicity in China's rise to world dominance, or an actual attempt to thwart and reverse it?
He lost, in part, because he was portrayed as a despicable human being.

I respect what he did, it's not going to make his life any easier. I think he was wrong, but I respect his willingness to stick to his principles, unlike those who hated him in 2012 and now think he's a hero.
