Someone who sounds sane, and middle of the road. Intelligent, politically experienced, globally savy, who can pass a totally nit-picking ethics test. Throw in some charisma and eloquence, and I think they'd coast into office. Sorry to say, he'd have to be an average white guy to get voters who hated Obama (yes, Repuglicans). We can re-address that issue next time, but first, we have to take back the White House. This person will have to be qualified to undo all the harm Trump has done. Its an emergency.

Not sure who that would be yet. But he could probably bring along a younger firebrand for VP.
