We have plenty of folks who want to be the Christian Ayatollah of America.

Madison also made a point that any believer of any religion should understand: that the government sanction of a religion was, in essence, a threat to religion. "Who does not see," he wrote, "that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?" Madison was writing from his memory of Baptist ministers being arrested in his native Virginia.

The unwashed masses may think they're getting a King, with Princess Ivanka and Prince Junior, but the apparatchiks will ensure a Strong Man Populist (rather than a truly vapid idiot) will always end up being in charge so they can fight it out for themselves who will be the power behind the Throne.
