Only in the wet dreams of California ultra liberals is this even a remote possibility. To get people to vote for you you need to speak their language, understand their problems, connect with them. Never once have I seen Zuck demonstrate any of those qualities.

I wasn't under the impression that Zuckerberg had a sterling reputation among the ultra liberal crowd in California.

  That's why I said "remote" possibility. He strikes me as a fairly ordinary dude with a bit of asperger's who over the course of his entire adult life got his ego inflated by sycophants on a daily basis. As a result he seems to think he's some kind of leadership genius, whereas in reality he's essentially in the same position as Kim Jong Un, except he's much smarter. I don't know if he realizes this and just plays along, or doesn't even see it, but that facade will fall over immediately after he enters any kind of adversarial environment, which is something you kinda have to do if you want to run for president.

    I'm definitely not a member of the ultra liberal crowd in terms of my politics, I'm friends with many who are. The remote possibility that he'd be president is more of a nightmare for them than a wet dream.

      Let me put it in more obvious terms: if he were to run against Trump in 2020, who would you vote for? What's a "possibility" is largely determined by circumstances.

        The democratic candidate obviously. Cause he wouldn't win the primary.

Wtf is an 'ultra liberal'? And do you actually take the public performances of politicians at face value? The average politician, and especially those in positions of power are sociopaths. All of their PR is managed by professionals who know what people want to see and hear a lot better than you or me.

> Only in the wet dreams of California ultra liberals why would they want Zuckerberg?

  Why wouldn't they? I mean, they'll do whatever DNC tells them to do. Once DNC told them they didn't want Bernie, they decided they want one of the most corrupt candidates in recent history (what a bizarre coincidence, BTW: Clinton Global Initiative is shutting down). If Zuck plugs himself into the DNC really well (something he has the money and power to do), the rubes can be convinced he's the anointed heir to the throne and "it's his turn". It's not like the Democratic bench is otherwise rich in candidates right now. There's just no way he'd win the election, especially the one in 2020 which will be MMA-like in sheer savagery.
