Mitt
Romney
for
President
in
2012
In his novel, "If This Goes On", Robert Heinlein wrote of a future America in which Nehemiah Scudder, a TV preacher, got himself elected President in 2012. There was no election in 2016 since President Scudder formed a theocracy. The story "If This Goes On" is about the successful rebellion against the theocracy.
It seems likely that a Theocracy could not be formed in this country since there are too many religions and sects and it takes one large church to have a theocracy. Look at the theocracies that have survived in the past. The Catholic, Muslim and Buddhist theocracies of the past. Communism and right wing conservatism are probably a western religions as well.
