Zuckerberg is not a Great Talent whose time has come. Zuckerberg is a lottery winner surrounded by people who no longer know how to disagree with him.

Not a Facebook fan, not a zuckerberg fan but he is smart abd seems sincerely open to the thoughts and ideas of others.

Maybe we do need a legitimately accomplished younger president. Only nominating those past their expiration dates. We definitely need to get younger at that position somehow instead of it being an end of life bucket list. I think I noted before but since we have a minimum age I think candidates must be no older than 60 on Election Day of their first term.

Nobody is growing so much between 60 and 70 that they become a much better president.

Zucks might not be the guy but we have to have some 30, 40,50 something to make a run.

The standard line ups for twenty twenty are barf inducing.

Nah they like old is smart no sense unless they are black.

To steal anyone's idea on anything and turning it into a massive company with billions and billions of users yeah.

Ideas are pretty much a dime a dozen in business. You could give the same concept to 100 budding entrepreneurs and ninety nine would crash and burn.

Implemtation and execution are the difficult parts. Even if you believe the mythology the winklevoss twins were not sitting on a billion dollar idea.

So if Facebook Inc decided they wanted Zuck to win... that would be really bad for the opposition, yeah?

He is also a billionaire unlike trump

He could definitely buy The Trump Organization and use it as his ping pong room

Whatever happens the Dems need to stay unified under a strategy of ABT (Anyone But Trump). Zuck might have some positives like the Facebook media empire behind him but if it turns out he doesn't have the charisma (which seems likely) then the Dems need to work to get him to turn his massive resources out for someone who does. There's too much at stake in 2020 to lose to that bozo again.

Buying FOX News would be the elite move. Especially if done through like 400 shell companies or something so no one knew he was the one who owned it.

how much credit does Zuck get versus Sean Parker or others for FB strategy and success?

None, because Al Gore invented the internet. All of the credit goes to the government just like with PayPal.

Why do people assume he's going to spend gobs of his own money self-funding his campaign or shipping money to the Dems?

Because Trump is the President.

At this point it seems like I wouldn't make a serious post here, but this is serious.

I'm kinda warming up to The Zuck. I think if we're going this route he's ideal precisely because he never had a good original idea himself and Facebook's success has little to do with him personally. But, he was in charge, and he listened to the 100 different good ideas of the 100 different people he hired, and the 100 good ideas of people before him, and implemented them. He would snap do UHC and the like because he'd think, hey, it works for those other countries so let's just hire smart people and have them copy it. Done and done. He'd be the antitrump.

Maybe.

.

Maybe. He's more like a lefty Trump. The anti-Trump is Democracy.

...and truth, and freedom, and US laws+values+morals, equality, accountability, transparency, education, consistency, science, and seriously **** this scumbag cheater.

All this focus on original idea is so silly. Take the last 5 presidents and name an original idea they've come up with.

Ideas are worthless. It's all in the execution.

lol, this is almost verbatim exactly what people said about Trump.

Well yeah, that's why I said he'd be the antitrump.

Putting aside for the moment the question of whether Zuckerberg would be a good president, is there any reason to believe that he would be an engaging candidate? I've never thought of him as a particularly charismatic or memorable public presence.

The plan is for him to run in the primary to make Hillary look charming and charadmastic.

Legit lol'ed.

I probably made it about 30-35 seconds through the actual speech. And this is after the first 40 seconds or so of that super awkward introduction where MZ is nervously fidgeting, abruptly smiling crazily at no one in particular, and doing some sort of coke nose wipe and shimmy. The dude's odd, there will be no President Cringe.

True, but I was using ANTItrump in the sense that all the bull**** people hypothesized about trump's governing style, that trump himself paid lip service to, that would require an extreme setting aside of any ego (...lol) I can see actually applying to Zbergz.
