Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Is Hiring a Team Worthy of a 2020 Presidential Campaign
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg‘s latest hire is further fueling speculation that he could be planning a 2020 presidential bid.

Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan have hired Democratic pollster Joel Benenson, a former top adviser and longtime pollster to President Barack Obama and the chief strategist of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, as a consultant, Politico reported, citing a person familiar with the hire.

Benenson’s company, Benenson Strategy Group, will conduct research for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a philanthropy run by the couple and endowed with their estimated $45 billion Facebook fortune — 99 percent of which they’ve vowed to give away.

I don't want him on the ticket, either. Not everyone who wants to run should be considered seriously as a presidential candidate. Truly!

1. He's worse than Oprah!

Facebook and the fake news bots (which Zuckerberg refuses to do anything about) are why we have Trump!

[MineralMan]

3. I totally agree, and yet, he's exploring that possibility.

[irisblue]

2. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

I want to climb Mt. Fuji, but that won't happen either.

[MineralMan]

4. Exactly.

Not everyone who could be President should be President.

I use Zuckerberg as an example.

[pangaia]

8. Why not? It's a walk up.

5. What is all this crap about celebrity/CEO presidents?

NO! It's a real job! It's probably the most difficult job in the world. Having been a tv personality or a wealthy entrepeneur is NOT an adequate background. Trump has lowered the bar to a subterranean level and now everybody seems to have bought into the notion that the presidency does not require any particular experience (other than, maybe, being rich). Please stop! Make these people go away! Do not vote for them!

9. I don't know. I wonder sometimes if people

actually know what being President is all about. It's depressing. It truly is.

I chose Zuckerberg as an example, because he, like many others, is totally unsuited for the job. The man allowed Facebook to be used as a propaganda engine for the Russians, for Pete's sake.

20. Trump is golfing every week

and putting in 7 hours days that start at 11am... and he's getting away with it while collecting bigly money from Mar-A-Lago and the Trump hotel in DC. Sounds like just the thing to attract a wealthy entrepreneur - get rich while hardly working

[misanthrope]

23. The idiocracy is staring us right in the face.

How sad we've fallen to this level.

[Tipperary]

6. No way. Yuck.

[catrose]

7. Oh sure

After his FB management helped give us the current WH resident. Not voting for him ever, not for anything.

[MineralMan]

10. A wise decision.

I'm certainly not proposing him. I'm using him as an example.

[catrose]

15. I didn't think you were

But I was marveling that he could imagine himself elected, although I guess now anyone can.

[Corgigal]

11. He didn't do enough for us last election?

Save his money and just stop. Unless under the republican/Russian ticket.

[MineralMan]

12. Oh, yes indeed he did.

And yet, he's exploring the possibility. As I said, anyone can run for President. It's our decision who wins. We need to be very careful about our choice, don't you think?

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Fuck him. I'm sorry, did I say, "Fuck him?" I meant to say "FUCK ZUCK!" His 2020 Opposition Slogan.

[MineralMan]

14. Yes. Absolutely.

And yet...

[OnDoutside]

16. He'll rue the day if he does run. The truth will come out that he KNEW what the Russians were doing,

through Facebook, and did nothing.

[we can do it]

17. Fuck that disgusting thief.

[Johonny]

18. I assume he'd run, but later than 2020

[cwydro]

19. No no and no.

No way.

[milestogo]

21. Fuck celebrity candidates.

One of the lessons of Trump is - no more celebrities with zero government experience.

And Fuck You anyway, Zuckerberg.

[D_Master81]

22. This is the pandoras box Trump opened

its not his fault, rather the people that took him seriously and voted for him have now made anyone who's famous think about running for Pres. and then have the media take them seriously.
