I don't see anyone either. Perhaps Bloomberg. He seems to have run NYC better than most. That said, he was on the finance side of things, not industrial, so I'm not sure how sympathetic he would be towards the interests of working class Americans.

We need someone who understands capitalism and favors markets but also knows when to control the markets and not allow them to sell us under the table. Someone who understands their responsibility is the American economy and its people and not how well companies do in China or Indonesia or not. Yes, sure, we need foreign markets and they need us, but we should not cave in and let them limit what we can do in their country but then allow them to do as they will here. It has to have some reciprocity. We also need to take into account labor laws and environmental impact when assessing tariffs.

We have seen how Bloomberg performs under stress during the debates and his performance has left a lot to be desired. I don't see him entering politics ever again.

True. Although I thought he was trying to ‘wing it’ ala Trump, but he doesn’t have the same ability to shoot from the hip. He needs to prepare but not be robotic. How the hell did he win the NYC mayorship?
