WI/AHC: Make H. P. Lovecraft a POTUS. Then what happens next?

What about him would make him a bad politician?

The fact that he had horrible crippling depression that resulted in him withdrawing from society for years on end. That is a pretty freaking big issue to get over for politicians.

Yes but the necessary changes to make him a politician may butterfly away many of the issues in his later life. Also when did he 'withdraw from society'?

He would spend years essentially only interacting with the outside world through the mail while sitting around his home making barely any money ghostwriting stories. Thats pretty withdrawn in my book. And surprisingly this actually got better as time whent on (he spent far more time in his later life moving around and visiting friends he had made through corresponding.
