President Mark Kelly?

President Mark Kelly?
Senator Mark Kelly (Arizona) has been getting a lot of media attention lately after Trump called for his hanging for the 'crime' of calling for American military members to reject illegal orders - as required in the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice). There are already calls for him running for President in 2028. It's interesting.

Mark Kelly is a retired USN Captain (O-6). He flew 39 combat missions in Iraq. He is a retired astronaut who flew 4 space shuttle missions (twice as pilot, twice as commander). He is an impressive guy but not a classic politician. He doesn't invoke drama, doesn't speak in a grandiose tone. No pomp, no flourishes. But he is rock-solid, absolutely level headed and of unquestioned integrity and competence.

After the circus of the Trump administrations and the unsteadiness of the Biden administration, he really stands out as a breath of fresh air. Might he be the right one at the right time?

The question could only be for democrats.  Republicans aren't going to vote for a democrat.  Doesn't matter who the democrat is.

Academic, really.  The next president of the us is whatever warlord arises victorious from the hell that magas attempt at perpetual minority rule engenders.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Elections are won by whoever sways the independents.

I think the unspoken premise that our elections going forward will be free and fair is open to question.

True. The midterm elections will be the test. If they aren't free and fair, I believe there will be a break down of civil order.
