Maybe it's just billions going into his sons' pockets via resort stays for Secret Service, amounting to just a few bucks out of each taxpayer's pocket but nothing more.
I've only seen bits and pieces of Biden and Sanders.
I don't think either of them are corrupt.
Biden is clearly sundowning.  Loses track of what he's saying way too often. If we make him President, the chief of staff would basically be President, not him.  It'd be a huge gamble to elect him and see if Biden finds someone who is good, and if Biden continues to trust that person.  Trump has now fired his first three chiefs of staff.  Trust is a delicate thing when your mind isn't sharp enough to understand what the people under you are doing, but none of those people are allowed to admit this publicly.  Trump was never smart or informed enough to be a good President.  Biden may have been at one time, but no longer.
Sanders seems to be smart enough for the job and hasn't started deteriorating yet.  Sanders lives in a fantasy world where high taxes fix inequality and can pay for any nice social program you want.  He's just saying this to get votes, though.  He knows the Senate will never approve most of the stuff he talks about, but like Obama, he'll at least be able to manage the programs already in place competently.
