Are you really sure a weak Democratic leader is what America thinks/feels it needs or prefers to have right now? So, where are the more trustworthy American Democrats these days? I don't see any of them around these days. I take that back, I saw one in Congress who abstained and refused to go along with the liberal Democrats (vote against her country). PB, you are on the other side( the anti-American side) because that's the side you chose to be on for better or worse until the day you die.
2. It looks more as if the Republican Party has an internal rift between traditional norms in politics (checks and balances, separation of powers, objective reality, and rejection of demagogic anti-intellectualism) and Donald Trump. On these matters one wing of the Republican Party has much in common with the mainstream of the Democratic Party now that we Democrats found something that we absolutely had to defend.
3. Less flawed than the others? That is a normal criterion for political victories in promary and general elections.
4. In view of the actuarial concerns that I would legitimately have with anyone crossing 80 as President I hope that Joe Biden well chooses a Vice President.
