There is literally no presidential candidate who supports Apple's position.

The Republican field (now that Rand Paul quit) supports the FBI. The Democratic candidates want to strike a balance between giving the FBI what it wants and giving the FBI what it wants.

Agreed. Note though that this has been true for years. There has never been a president who understands technology, or even any congressmen on committees that decide such things. This is why we must find some and vote them in.
