If you had to take any GF character and make them President of the US (or your own country), whom would you select?
I got to thinking about this after reflecting on the Don's conversation with Michael when Vito said he wished that Michael could have been a senator or a governor.
If I had to pick someone, it would not be Michael. He might be a good TV president, but I'd be afraid he would drop nuclear weapons on our enemies and blow the world up.
What about Vito? I think he could be good, but he's, well, too crooked.
Sonny? No way. Fredo? Please.
So I vote for Tom Hagen. He may lack the "vision thing" to some degree but I think he has the best overall mind and temperament and he's not as hot-headed as a lot of the other characters. I think he would surround himself with good advisors. He would not be a bold decisive leader but he would be a competent concensus builder and could steer the ship.
