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...
Your spell checker is wise. We really need a woman leader right now. What needs doing is structurally significant, and the Patriarchy is not a change message. A woman as VP is better than nothing, but we missed our opportunity to select a qualified woman for the head job, when plenty applied. Where is our Jacinda Adhern?
It should be the best candidate.
How many qualified people were there really? Besides Warren, Biden and Sanders?
Hopefully Biden chooses Warren. If he goes with Harris we will go back to the bush/Clinton 3T
