Meanwhile, Hillary R. Clinton presents a plausible GC. She has her faults (just like FDR did) and is corrupt. But she is not an agent of a hostile foreign power. She will do much good and the bad she might do is not enough to make me avoid her.
Therefore, I, with a degree of reservation, will pull the D lever in November.
Grey champion is not a single person. The term refers to prophets who play important roles in a 4T. Bill & Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama (boundaries can be redrawn to include him as they were for FDR), Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders (ditto) and others may end up playing GC roles. The determination will be made by future historians.
Sam Adams was the quintessential GC. He was a master political manipulator, skills Trump has demonstrated so far.
