Biden and Schumer are centrists? Maybe in the same sense that Clinton and McCain were "centrists" - they are opportunists who's positions shift with the political tides.

Yes, Trump is awful. So is Biden. In some ways Biden is worse. Since he has virtually no chance of completing even one term if he wins, it comes down to his VP choice. Will his VP be someone we can live with as our next President? That is the biggest question of the campaign.
