No. He would be to the right of Cruz, and if Cruz isn’t “electable” by a lot of estimates, why would Washington?

Not telegenic or quick witted enough

George Washington would be sickened and disgusted by today’s America. He would think it unworthy of his efforts.

Far too reckless! Marine crossing at Trenton ! Doubled down on his obvious error marching on to Princeton ! Didn’t care enough for his troops at Valley Forge ! Sold out to the French at Yorktown !

Television changed everything. A lot of our great Presidents could never have won in the post-TV era. Lincoln looked terrible and had a high squeaky voice. He never would have made it to Super Tuesday.
To: laplata
On this I would agree.

No one ran against George. He got all the votes. The second vote was for VP.
To: central_va
Well Washington only got something like 43,000 votes.
Of course he won 100% to 0%

George Washington would think he had landed on an alien planet.
He would need a couple years to overcome the PTSD, and get to grips with how his little country changed into the vast American Progressive-Left Empire

Last name Washington, it could work. A little make up, a little “Ah aint noways tard”. Sure he could make it.

He’s a possible dictator and he quoted Caesar.
Also, he owns lots of real estate.
Bad signs.
