These two youtube vignettes tell Americans all they need to know about the characters of the two presidential candidates. The first, from 2015, showing Donald Trump mocking a disabled reporter, previewed the cruelty, bullying, and theatrical narcissism that have defined his time in office.

The second, from last week's Democratic convention, records a brave, stuttering 13-year old boy describing how Joe Biden befriended him and, drawing on his own experience as a lifelong stutterer, gave him tips on how to meet his challenges.

We American parents who have raised and protected our own 13-year old children can ponder the importance of policies, judges, war, safety, justice as we measure where the character of one man has brought us after nearly four years. With which candidate would we entrust our children's future?
