RE: Zuckerberg Contemplating Presidential Run?

Can you imagine if Steve Jobs was still alive? At this point the leftist would be rallying around him to get him to run. He had the cult of personality plus the ego to actually do it and would have probably even won.

At this point though the democrats are still doubling down on identity politics I don't see them ever letting a white-skinned male be their candidate.

I believe Trump is going to groom his opposition and then topple it.
He is that good.

RE: Zuckerberg Contemplating Presidential Run?

Out of all the tech giants, Bezos and Ellison (too old) are the only ones with enough charisma and presence while "looking respectable" in a suit.

I wouldn't put it past Bezos.

The Democratic primary of 2020 will be a crowded blood bath.

If you thought Hillary had problems being a liar, Bezos will be an entertainment all in himself. You can't teach an old dotcom fraudster new tricks.

Bezos was given both barrels on his credibility by a Federal Court judge about ten years back - Google Bezos and Toys'R'Us case to see how he flat out lied or played Humpty Dumpty with meanings of words right there on a witness stand. On top of that, the guy is running a company that basically hasn't shown a single profit in its entire run and which survives the same way a cancer does: continual expansion and fooling the body it parasitises that nothing's wrong. Amazon has also been hammered repeatedly for basically being a slave labour operation. With the Democrats trending back to the extreme left (it's only a matter of time, that's the only trick they have left) there is not a chance in hell they'll put up an aspie union-buster as their public face.

As to the suggestion that four years of public speaking training will fix Suckerberg or Bizzos's PR problems: you will recall that Donald Trump has likely been decades getting ready for this run, and essentially is the most persuasive man on the face of the planet right now. 4 years of public speaking training is not going to turn either of those OCD motherfuckers into credible strategists, schmoozers, or decisionmakers, and in particular it's the schmoozing that will matter because these assholes will be relying on a major political machine for their funding, not a populist run as Trump did.

In particular Suckerberg is a cripple because he has never actually known failure: unlike the Don or even Bezos who've both known personal wipeouts, the Suck was brought up in an upper-upper middle class house and had the great misfortune of his first commercial prospect, Facebook, succeeding.

Zuckerberg is actually stupid enough to think he can run for President. That's what you have to keep in mind. He also has lots of money, so nobody is going to tell him just how stupid he really is. They all sit around and tell him how smart he is and he eats it up.

Much like Bush 43, I suspect Zuckerberg would be a puppet of his entourage. He would soon realize that he doesn't have half the brains to do the job and would look to his advisors to help him. They would become the government more than he would be.

What about the Microsoft Moron? Does anyone think he might run for President?

Autistics never win the popularity contest, this is a truth that has followed them since High School which is why they run off to go do nerdy shit in the first place.

This will end with the ultimate jock humiliating the goofy nerd.

Trump defied the political establishment but the social order of hierarchy still rained supreme. Alpha dogs always will beat and feast on weaker opponents, this truth will never die.

He probably ran a bunch of sequences with the outcome of him getting the popular vote. This assessment is true as I believe with the current heavy representation in the populated states we may not see a GOP win the popular vote for POTUS. They will continue to win the EC which is all that matters tjouh

Zuckerberg won't run for governor, a governor is under the authority of the president, Zuckerberg has a big ego, he wont like being under Trump authority.

I disagree with you on Amazon's business upside. Constant expansion and reinvestment has led to depressed profits but also better and better valuations. They are making money hand over fist on the new age parts of their company such as Amazon Web Services. Within the next 5 years I predict Amazon will start to poach the top talent at HBO and become the premier producer AND distributor of creative online content. Netflix's pockets just aren't deep enough to compete in the long run.

That said, not only is Jeff Bezos a fucking white male, he is a bald one at that.

Zuckerberg won't run for governor, a governor is under the authority of the president, Zuckerberg has a big ego, he wont like being under Trump authority.

Governors are not under the authority of the president.

Technically you're correct, however in the eyes of a globalist, it does.

RE: Zuckerberg Contemplating Presidential Run?

Question would be. Who would actively vote for Zuckerberg?

Patriot / MAGA crowd? No.
Men with testosterone? Doubtful.
Military? Mostly doubtful.
Blacks? I doubt it.
Hispanic crowd? A mix, if the Trump vote is anything to go by.
Feminists? That would be rather hypocritical.

RE: Zuckerberg Contemplating Presidential Run?

Zuck is a calculating Aspie. His political ambitions are probably to be Gov in Sacramento. I don't think he does very well on the national stage. He comes off as socially retarded, no real charisma. Limited appeal outside of deep blue states, and easy to plaster as a taker of American jobs with H1-B visas, and a nasty neighbor who builds huge walls around his mansions and then complains about Trump's wall. I think Trump would eat him alive. Still, I think he's positioning for Governor.

RE: Zuckerberg Contemplating Presidential Run?

Gavin Newsom will eat Zuckie's lunch, he's the Californian Justin Trudeau and the heir to the NorCal Dem machine, along with Kamala Harris.

I've heard that Zuckerberg might actually be part of the inner Rockefeller clan. If that's true, then his political ambitions make sense, the Dem machine will line up behind him. That might not be enough though, because not only does he not have natural charisma, but he also comes across as the scheming, controlling, fake young robber baron that he really is. Both Bloomberg and especially Cuban are much better bets for billionaire challengers to Trump.

Governors are not under the authority of the president.

Looking at the power grab, being governor means only power over the state, being POTUS means power over the country and most of the world, Zuckerberg wont like only being governor of a state, not matter how big and populate is.

I know. It's a logical stepping stone for someone who is unsure of themselves in politics to stop "local". For a billionaire, it's a safe first move to try as opposed to going all out for a presidential campaign.

I get it, but many rich people want to replicate Trump very bad now, going straight to the top, Mark Cuban was asked something similar and he said he will never run for anything that is not POTUS.

The number of rich people wondering if they can also make a move like Trump is big.

I think the next election (re-election) will be rough, they will throw everything they have at it. Hopefully all the seems in our leaky voting process get fixed by then, can't have those illegal votes flooding in anymore.

How can either of them be too old if President Trump is 70?

I only indicated Ellison is too old. He is 72 and IIRC there were rumors about health issues recently.

Larry Ellison is Oracle. Larry Page is Google. Page is in his 40s and Bezos 50s. Those two are plenty young enough. Seems the mistake is on my part with both Ellison and Page being named Larry.

I was going to suggest Elon Musk until I realised that would not be possible due to him being South African and therefore ineligible.
