The field of candidates for the next President of the United States gets more crowded every couple of weeks. But who is not in the race, but you would really love to see them run for the White House. Why is that? Do you think they would have a good chance of winning at least the party nomination?

I have long suspected that the ideal candidate would have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the White House. Indeed, any who would want to inherit the mess being left by this Administration should automatically qualify for a mandatory 48-hour hold for psychiatric testing.
Seriously, the most important qualification for President is a vision for America. It seems that the last person I wanted, Colin Powell, demurred for the stated reason that he lacked such a vision (although he certainly had the leadership and executive qualifications aplenty)

I've agreed with your first sentence for every CiC since Reagan.
As for Powell...I often thought there was more to his declination. He would have won, hands down. If you'll allow me a tin-foil moment, I wondered if there wasn't something being held against him to force him out. No one gives up the presidency, even with a sick wife.
