Maybe not a blood Roosevelt, but someone to the level of Theodore and FDR.
This is our only last hope. Someone with such a mega presence as both of them (in being able to wake up and mobilize the American people) is what is needed to create a political wave lasting decades that can break the grip that the rich have in America. Theodore's Progressive wave lasted 20 years and FDR's lasted almost 50 years. We need someone to break the Ronald Reagan wave that we've been living under for the last 35 years!
Of course though, Theodore became president by pure luck and FDR entered when America's economy was near collapse. So it could've been that America was just lucky enough to get those two Roosevelts in the presidency at just the right times. However, it just amazes me how much influence both of those presidents had on 20th century America.
