Ted Cruz has good hair.

I am Labour/Socialist- I don't know how that compares with your U.S. system we also have the Green Party so I would nominate Caroline Lucas as my -'other' party member because she is doing a fine job

John McCain is a true American hero even tho he bombed babies from the air. His policies are a different story & I could never endorse him in that regard. As I do not have a political party I would take it as a challenge to say something nice about The Donald. He "....loves the poorly educated". Or so he says. But then we know about his inability to be a man of his word. John Kasich isn't fearful of The Donald. So I suppose one could say he has courage. Senator Cory Gardner supports cannabis decriminalization. That is a good thing since there is little room left in our prisons. Howard Stern ran as a Libertarian candidate for Governor of NY. The only negative thing I can find about him is that he is incendiary.

As a lifelong Labour supporter, I have a lot of respect for Caroline Lucas (Green Party) and Vince Cable (Liberal Democrats), and some for Michael Heseltine and Heidi Allen (both Conservatives).

Not sure if dead politicians count, but Ronald Reagan has a cool son.

Jeff Flake from Arizona has tried to stand up and push back.

I think that John McCain is pretty reasonable, except on foreign policy

Ralph Nader he is a sharp dresser.

Here are several...

Richard Nixon did sign the loegistlation to start the Evironmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Agraham Lincoln did free the slaves (although at the time the republicans were the "liberal" party).

Eisenhower oversaw the creation of the National Highway system.

Theodore Roosevelt started the national parks system.

John McCain didn't dodge the draft claiming "bone spurs" like Trump did.

Yes and that is a great question, I was a staunch democrat until I listened to John Kaisch more and compared him to Trump, Well of course any thing would be better than the Trumpet but I saw a real sincere compassion for the people. In addition to all I saw, I believe a number of decent republicans finally woke up and said holy shit

Hell I can't think of Any key players in my own party that I like, never mind in that other one.

I am thinking that if you made this into a poll with six or eight choices, John McCain would win in a landslide. I cannot think of anyone else in the Republican party who is more worthy of respect.

That's easy. I'm still a registered Democrat and Bernie Sanders is an Independent. I can go on all day about things I like about him. Otherwise, John Kasich was the nicest and most personable of the GOP clown car in their POTUS primaries. Didn't seem his policies necssarly alligned with that though.

I’ve always said, the one thing I hate about Democrats is that they force me to vote for Republicans. But this new Conservative party, abandoning science, attacking reality, handing our country over to the upper wealthy at the expense of the rest of us... this is a different Republican Party than the one I grew up on.

Gary Johnson, he wants to legalize pot.

Same for me on John McCain

It's funny. When I read the title of your post, McCain was the first one to pop into my head. Too bad about that idiotic Palin gimmick he tried when he was running for President.

John McCain was my choice too. He has kehones-not sure of spelling.

I had to think for a few minutes, but, yes I can.
I'm a registered Independent.
Senator Susan Collins of Maine, is consistently working in a bi-partisan
way to get things done for the American people. She is NOT perfect, and has
gone along with some things I am vehently against. However, by and large, she
has put the interests of the people of Maine, and this country, ahead of partisan
politics.
