I believe there will be one President in between Trump and the first Millennial President, that person most likely being the Gray Champion.
My top 5:
1. Michael Bloomberg
2. Hillary Clinton
3. Joe Biden
4. Mitt Romney
5. Elizabeth Warren
Assuming we are talking about presidents, Joe Biden has a small chance; none of the others do. Bernie Sanders has an outside shot. See my video for who are the only 3 who can be gray champion presidents.
Of course, gray champions are not necessarily presidents, and there's more than one. About 18 years ago on the Fourth Turning Forum, I predicted it would be Hillary Clinton. But she didn't measure up. None of the above will.
I think Al Gore is a gray champion just for making global warming a major issue, and just for enduring all the abuse he got for doing it. Bill McKibben is another. Michael Moore and Robert Reich may not be gray champions but I can't think of anyone better yet.
