Unfortunately the one who best fit this description was Trump.
Personally, I favored virtually anyone and everyone who was still standing other than Trump, but Trump became the only alternative to Hillary.
1. Which largely explained why Sanders did so well in spite of the fix being literally in for Hillary.

Originally posted by JimL View PostAh actually the bailout of the banks was Bush's doing, not Obama's. Obama hadn't even taken office yet. So, after eight years of Bush, we have an economic collapse destroying much of the middle class, and then we have the Bush Administration bail out the banks, the very people that caused the collapse. And then we have republican constituents who are to dumb to realize that it was the very people they put into office that stabbed them in the back by blowing up the economy and then bailing out their co-conspirators, the banks they deregulated, after the fact.
Even before taking office in January 2009, Obama had signed on to the previous Bush administration's drastic, but politically unpopular, plan to directly infuse up to $700 billion in taxpayer-backed loans into the U.S. banking industry.

The $8 trillion bailout
Many details of Obama's rescue plan remain uncertain. But it's likely to cost at least $700 billion - and that would push Uncle Sam's bailouts near $8 trillion.

From CBS, 2009:
Acting at Barack Obama's behest, President George W. Bush on Monday asked Congress for the final $350 billion in the financial bailout fund, effectively ceding economic reins to the president-elect in an extraordinary display of transition teamwork.
Obama also sharply criticized Bush's handling of the money and promised radical changes.
Bush's move sets the stage for Obama to get swift access to the $350 billion and the opportunity to overhaul the much-criticized rescue package after taking office next Tuesday. Obama said that it would be "irresponsible ... to enter into the administration without any potential ammunition should there be some sort of emergency or weakening of the financial system."
