@ThrasherPrime While Lenin-archetypes CAN be *very* damaging if their beliefs shift in a really misguided direction...
They're also very good at rooting out entrenched evil, & at dealing with narcissistic or psychopathic opponents; they can employ the same or worse tactics without going power-mad or using their power for personal gain.
A carefully-chosen Lenin-archetype would likely rip Trump to shreds; it'd be akin to pitting a teenage wannabe gang member against a veteran assassin.

@ThrasherPrime While replacing Biden would probably be an awful idea (wastes incumbent advantage), I think the ideal candidate would be someone who's highly intelligent & who - when morally justified - has no problem using any means necessary to make things right.
In other words a Lenin-archetype: a well-intentioned "extremist", willing to employ even the most brutal tactics if necessary to achieve victory... while not having even a single corrupt or megalomaniac bone in their body.
