That's a matter of personal preference, ideology, beliefs and how one looks at things. I liked Bill Clinton too although I voted for Perot twice. I rank Bill either three or four on my list of best presidents in my life time. He's behind IKE and JFK, then depending on the day whether Bill or Reagan is three and four or the other way around.
Hillary, I never could stand. Hence my vote against both Trump and Hillary in 2016 by casting a ballot for Johnson. I'd do the same today even knowing what I know. In fact most of those who did vote third party against both would do the same thing today if given a second chance, some 9 million voters. Such was the dislike for both major party candidates.
Being I'm no ideologue or even much partisan, Biden suits me to a Tee. I started off in 2016 backing Jim Webb, when he didn't campaign because the fix was in for Hillary, I switched to John Kasich and when Trump won the nomination, supported Gary Johnson. Not so much as I liked Johnson as he was a third name on the ballot that wasn't Trump nor Clinton. Any third name would have done. Those two disgusted me to no end.
I did find it amusing that in February of 2016 a poll showed 56% of all Americans wanted the Democrats to nominate someone other than Clinton. Of course the Democrats ignored America as a whole which was their right. All Americans don't decide the Democratic nominee, Democrats do. But all of America does decide the general election. The writing was on the wall that early that Hillary would have trouble winning. She was just plain disliked by a majority of Americans. So too was Trump as you could see in their unfavorable ratings on election day. 58% of all Americans viewed Hillary unfavorably, 60% view Trump unfavorably. The first time in our history that any major party presidential candidate was viewed unfavorably by 50% or more of all Americans. Goldwater back in 1964 held the previous record for the highest unfavorable's at 47%. Both Hillary and Trump smashed his record. Now Barry can rest in peace knowing he wasn't the most disliked of any presidential candidates. Trump and Hillary hold that honor.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
