The Loyalist Primarchs vs Treasonous Primarchs in a Presidential Election.

Primarch to your glory& the glory of him on Earth!
So there's two teams of Primarchs, the Loyalists and Traitors. Each team will have its own primary which will decide the nominee. Then the nominees of the teams will head off to a general election against each other. Which of the Primarchs will be the likely nominees and victors of the general election?
 
Are the Traitor Primarchs, "Traitors" as in corrupted by Chaos and/or rebelling against The Emperor when they are doing this?

I read a bit of Horus Heresy, gotta say, aside from their charisma, both Horus and Fulgrim were pretty nice people you'd love to be friends with.

Well, except when they start going crazy and thinking a horrific idea of "make-up" is aesthetically pleasing or a painting made of decomposed human is beautiful
 
Well, lemme try and come up with a guess for how they'd come across to the electorate:

1. Lion El'Jonson:.....Honestly, drawing a bit of a blank here.
3. Fulgrim: If San Francisco was a person, it would probably be him. Which is why no one outside of Cali would vote for him.
4. Perturabo: The only comparison I can come up with is "Hilary, but instead of no-charisma he has anti-charisma".
5. Jaghatai Khan: Extremely capable as an individual, but would likely struggle to work with the rest of the political power structure.
6. Leman Russ: Video surfaces partway through campaign of him drunkly burning down a Denny's.
7. Rogal Dorn: "We're going to build a wall and make us pay for it!"
8. Konrad Curze: No.
9. Sanguinius: Also drawing a blank here.
10. Ferrus Manus: Technocrat with so-so people skills.
12. Angron: Video surfaces partway through the campaign of him burning down an orphanage.
13. Roboute Guiliman: Presents brilliant, highly effective plan to fix everything, but no one is willing to sit through his thousand page power presentation to see what it is. Wins anyway for poorly explained reasons.
14. Mortarion: Take Perturabo, but dump the part about having some kind ruthlessly effective policy, and even more anti-charisma.
15. Magnus the Red: Hilary 2.0.
16. Horus: Liked by everyone.
17. Lorgar: Would easily win the religious vote, if not for the fact he champions a faith that no one else believes in.
18. Vulkan: Drawing a blank as well. Like, he's got the whole "caring, man of the people thing" going on, but I've never read a book with him in it so I'm not sure how that comes across.
19. Corvus Corax: Same deal.
20. Alpharius: Could probably make a go for the general and do well, but instead sets up a complex web of third parties, support for other canidates, and various other excessively clever schemes to try and play kingmaker, which ends up backfiring somehow.
 
@Battlegrinder
What about pre-Heresy? I think Pre-Heresy Fulgrim may look at the entertainment industry and go and ask if anybody’s even making any attempt to improve or check their work for flaws before losing so much money

This is pre-heresy.

Well, I don’t think he’ll be complimenting Brie Larson as he did that female musician who was pining after that statue making remembrancer though

That said, I think even uncorrupted he may do something like what he did alongside Ferrus Manus to the Diaspora who just wanted to be left alone....the human population got sent off to live as thralls/slaves right after murdering the alien half
 
I doubt Brie Larson will be much of a campaign issue tbh, unless Alpharius manages to secure the nudes of Captain Marvel.

Or would it be Omegon?

I don't know.

As long as it's not Fulgrim...
 
Horus or Sanguinius. Both are capable warriors and diplomats, though Guiliman was the most capable administrator of the primarchs and would be a good choice for a cabinet position.

All the others have severe enough problems that I would be hesitant to put them near the levers of power. Fulgrim would be a good diplomat, and a good fourth choice, and you could probably put Rogal Dorn or Perturabo in charge of infrastructure overhaul.

Angron and the Night Haunter...no. Just no. The first one ends with either nuclear annihilation or perpetual war, and the second ends with quite a few prisoners flayed alive and castrated on live tv.

Lorgar would quickly run afoul of separation of church and state. As in, he tries to make a church to his dad the state religion, people try to impeach him, and he likely murders the entirety of the house in retaliation for their heretical ways.

Lion El’ Jonson doesn’t really know how to person very well. He just doesn’t really get other people. He’s a lot like the emperor that way.
 
Can’t Lorgar do a more “peaceful” method and somehow say that the Emperor is the messiah of the “Third Testament”

Or some messiah or chosen one of multiple religions? Like how the Imperial Cult has variations over many planets across the Imperium

Also, he may notice how much of the West is losing its faith and may even see that for all peoples talk about atheism, they really DO want something to devote themselves too, which is what leads to so many crazy commie types who’d spit on libertarian and objectivist type atheists and maybe in the future convert to Islam and become way worse
