Probably would look a bit like how Trump in 2016 sold himself during the primary, only with genuinely economically quasi-center-left stances. Legacy would depend on how much traction you'd get for your policies, but if you had enough to get elected, you'd probably get some of it done.

Playing a major role in reducing polarization between the parties - despite some issues passing his agenda, he ultimately gets Congress to work together on legislation in a manner not seen in decades.

I would pretty much say the same thing about OBD.  He might even see SOME improvement for the Democrats in the ancestrally-Democratic south.

She would be the most neoliberal President ever, advocating a rather conservative economic agenda with a progressive social agenda.  She would be more popular with the people as a whole than within the GOP.  Her Presidency would result in the Religious Right wrestling with the issue of either remaining in the GOP and opposing her or leaving the GOP and forming a third party.  The latter would happen if her Presidency effected a realignment which left Religious conservatives without a real home in either party.  (She could not get nominated in the GOP as it presently exists, and probably could not have gotten nominated with her positions in the GOP any time after 1976.)

That's if she were elected as a Republican.  If she switched parties and became a Democrat she would be far less controversial within her own party.  She'd be pushed to adopt more economically liberal measures, and might do so on some issues if she were a Democrat.

This isn't a knock on her personally; she's one of my favorite posters.  This would be her legacy because what I've written is what would likely happen if someone with her positions on issues were elected President as a Republican.  As I've mentioned, if she switched parties it would go somewhat differently.

Would basically be a more #populist Trump but would be less insane and therefore somewhat more popular.

He probably would get some of his economic agenda through though a Republican Congress probably wouldnt adopt his positions on healthcare as it would be too liberal for them and his social agenda probably would make him unpopular with the GOP base so he probably would end up a one termer.

Yeah. If I was a liberal on healthcare but had conservative views on red meat social issues I'd be fine but alas I do not.

Would probably be notable for being the first foreign-born president. Ignoring that, though, your nomination and election would probably mark a turning point within the Republican Party against Trump-style populism. Core base would probably consist of #NeverTrump Republicans and old folks who are nostalgic for Reagan and 41.

Would be notable for being the first foreign-born and LGBTQ+ president. He would push for and generally succeed in enacting a center-left agenda, though he would likely fail in enacting UBI. He would oversee a time of peace and prosperity, and would approval ratings in the mid to high 50s. Historians would consider him to be an above average president.
