A number of people have raised that (first) responsibility. Not really sure how Bernie Sanders would be it, unless you're using "grey champion" in the sense Hawthorne did, and not in the Lincoln/FDR type role a lot of people use it for.
I've been thinking of Sanders as a Hawthorne style GC for some time, now. He's technically on the Silent side of the War Baby cusp, but his persona is pure Elder Prophet.
Trump, of course, is Edmund Andros.
Oh God, does this mean the next Prophets will consider us Millennials a bunch of bores like Franklin considered Cotton Mather?
