Grey champions are neither good or bad, and don't need to be president obviously, and there are more than one
But they tend to personify the new values. They set an example for the new culture. It is entirely possible to have several people doing that to various degrees, but Buchanan, Hoover and Trump are not examples of demonstrating the new values. They show why the old values are obsolete and have to change. A necessary role, perhaps, but it is very different from the grey champion's role.
Hmm. My spell checker suggested the last role should be grey tampons. Perhaps...
By that logic Bernie and Biden are disqualified as well, since Bernie espouses early 20th century socdem values and Biden espouses midcentury conservative Democrat values.
