Lawrence Lessig attempted this, raising over $1M dollars with a kickstarter campaign. So successful that only polysci nerds remember.

Lessig was going to step down and put his Vice President in power, who would explicitly be a Democrat.

That's not going to get broad appeal even if the whole effort was marketed correctly.

And I'm not talking about just president, but congress as well. Get as many people as possible into as many offices as possible with this goal.
