I hate to muck up this discussion, but what about Elon Musk as an AC candidate? He is an amazing inventor that solves problems that others can not. That is how the AC attracts the loyalty of the nations. He solves world problems creatively that others cannot do. Underground hyper-loop to solve traffic issues, creates the Internets first payment system (PayPal), first man to mass produce electric cars, sends rockets to space and brings them back to land safely, creates global Internet coverage in low orbit with thousands of shoebox-size satellites, currently trying to solve the free speech problem with Twitter. He's an incredible problem solver. Regarding the old Roman Empire issue? He was born in South Africa. The whites in South Africa are primarily Dutch. The Netherlands is in the EU. There's the connection. I love the man. But the Nations will love him too until he shows his true colors.
