Looking at it, it's hard to see how anyone except the most blinded of fools could consider either of these people to be a good President. Hell, they're not even Presidents, they act like Kings.

And then, if you start to see things continue with the next few people to hold office, and I would be hard pressed to not think it will, it is going to be hard to think electing anyone is going to make a difference.  America isn't even sure what it wants to be at this point.  Big divide over role of government and so on, and everyone feeling pretty powerless for change.

I say this now, looking over my local paper, and seeing how some Chinese solar power company has not even bothered to follow through one developing a former IBM plant where I am, and people say no one has heard from them.  Nope, no one seems to have answers.

I hold a little more optimism than you. Personally, I think we'll see a decent candidate in 2016 (I'm personally hoping for Rand Paul). If you pay attention to state activism, you'll also notice a significant increase in recent years, hopefully that will continue.
