Say hello to President Theodore G. Bilbo. With Gerald L. K. Smith as his veep for that extra helping of massive catastrophe.

They would have positively jumped in bed with Hitler, and inflicted a Holocaust on American Blacks, Jews, Hispanics - you name it. World War II would have been exceptionally unpleasant with the United States on the Axis side, and ended rather badly I fear.
 
How about Lyndon LaRouche?
:eek:

You should do a timeline.

I can see it now, the Queen of England indicted as co conspirator for drug smuggling. Al Gore charged with trying to wipe out Blacks. Concentration camps for AIDS victims. LaRouche publicly berating congresswomen as irrational "because their sexual organs are close to their excretory organs."
 
I would add Robert Taft for his isolationism, Teddy Kennedy, for reasons that should prove obvious, Walter Mondale, ditto, Michael Dukakis, ditto, and John Kerry, ditto, ditto.
 
I was going to mention Jim Jones or Charles Manson, but it seems like begging for loserdom. Said timeline (For All Time) doesn't have much explanation on how these wacktards manage to assume high political office (indeed, it is probably impossibly bad in that regard).

I voted Long, since I think it would be the last election of PotUS for decades. That said, PotUS McCarthy would probably feature a nuclear war--but one that probably doesn't involve ICBMs demolishing American cities.

Someone did a timeline about this earlier.

He depicted LaRouche's administration as doing all these wonderful things--until LaRouche declared war on Great Britain because he believed the Queen was the world's most powerful drug lord.
 
I would say Pat Robertson. Why? His political beliefs are scary enough, and a presidency of him would be even more arch-conservative than George W. Bush's one.
