Is there a Liberal alive who can actually deal with Donald Trump?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

76% : One of the few liberals who could speak Trump, and I mean that as a compliment.
62% : Galbraith: 4 Brings energy and ambition Trump might like, but is too closely tied to Trudeau.
59% : Was not so secretly contemptuous of Canada so he and Trump could bond over that.
56% : So, for better or worse, he knows who she is and with Trump, that's a start.
55% : Galbraith: 3 Has star power Trump might like.
54% : Once tried to run for mayor of Vancouver while not living in Vancouver. 19 points Csanady: 3 Has personal charm and Western connections, especially to natural resources, that would likely appeal to Trump.
52% : Word is Trump and LeBlanc developed a bit of a vibe already during the Florida hop, and with Trump that's half the battle.
50% : The gumption Freeland showed in her letter of resignation is the same force of will that brought back the Canada-EU Free Trade deal from the brink and saved free trade with the U.S. the first time around.
47% : Galbraith: 6 Smart and hard working but has never stood out as someone with the communications chops to go toe-to-toe with Trump. 4.
47% : They're demanding we up our military, she's extolling the virtue of the UN.
43% : But negotiating with Trump means negotiating in public, via the media, with clean, crisp messaging, something Joly has struggled with on the Middle East file.
42% : Only person on this list who has openly criticized the PM -- which would play in her favour with Trump.

35% : Justin Ling: 1 He's already the one dealing with Trump.
32% : Csanady: 6 I just can't see him jibing with Trump.
31% : He's also a man, which I hate to admit probably carries more weight than it should with Trump.
29% : But I don't see Trump kicking back over a burger with him the same way he would with LeBlanc or Clark.
29% : Is, however, a woman, which is a disadvantage when dealing with Trump, unless you are Angela Merkel or a contestant for Miss Universe.
22% : To get ahead of the speculation, the Star asked some of Canada's keenest political minds to rank the contenders on one criterium: Who is best equipped to deal with Donald Trump?
20% : Galbraith: 8 I mean, do I even have to explain it anymore? Gurney: 9 If we are deliberately looking to insult Trump, Freeland is our best chance.
19% : I don't think Champagne would be an aggressively bad idea to lead Canada in dealing with Trump.
15% : He's a central banker twice over and Trump hates the global financial order.
15% : Ling: 6 She is, if nothing else, very good at pissing off Donald Trump.
