In addition to Melinda Gates and Mark Cuban, I'm adding Mark Zuckerberg to my 2020 list of who will

[CK_John]

run for POTUS.

IMO, they will be an IND candidates and we will have a very interesting primary.

I have included Mark Zuckerberg's Commencement address at Harvard

May 25, 2017

Read speech:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. No, no, no, no, no!!!!

No more wealthy business people!

[CK_John]

4. Trump broke the system and those that have will run.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. And I hope Trump's maladministration will provide a perfect example

of why we should never again elect a wealthy businessperson with no government experience.

[sharedvalues]

2. Zuckerberg's firm enabled Trump

Zuckerberg's company allowed the micro targeted ads and Russian manipulation that elected Trump.

Zuckerberg has a LOT to answer for. He's going to desperately try to keep the data private and say it wasn't a big deal. Facebook needs to provide that data to the FBI.

[CK_John]

9. That's a stretch.

[sharedvalues]

20. FB can/did influence. Take it from a FB ex-exec

I'm an ex-Facebook exec: don't believe what they tell you about ads

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/02/facebook-executive-advertising-data-comment



Facebook deploys a political advertising sales team, specialized by political party, and charged with convincing deep-pocketed politicians that they do have the kind of influence needed to alter the outcome of elections.

I was at Facebook in 2012, during the previous presidential race. The fact that Facebook could easily throw the election by selectively showing a Get Out the Vote reminder in certain counties of a swing state, for example, was a running joke.

[we can do it]

13. Yep. Fuck that filthy little thief and FB.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. OFFS...

[Me.]

5. UGH

[roamer65]

6. I am not voting for any uber wealthy...fuck 'em.

[JTFrog]

7. Yeah, just what we need another dude who has a history of rating and demeaning women. nt

[retrowire]

19. This.

I swear to fucking god if anyone here actually thinks Zuckerberg is a good idea then just embrace the social networking future where we're all required to have a social networking account in order to vote.

[PoliticAverse]

8. What, no Kanye?...

[CK_John]

12. There are at least 6 other non politcal people that might run because they can afford it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. Will they all be running on a platform of driverless cars?

Or was that all wrapped up in 2016?

[CK_John]

16. Driverless case tractor.

?v=1473868020

[mainstreetonce]

11. Johnson/Hanks

Get the female vote

[YOHABLO]

14. Oh hell no. Are you crazy? Yeah just what we need another billionaire running things.

He's a little selfish twit as well. I read about his properties in Hawaii and other places and how he didn't get his land grab.

[CK_John]

17. If you read his Harvard speech, I believe he will run that's all..

[renate]

18. I wouldn't mind seeing Melinda Gates run

She seems like a super good person. And the Gates Foundation is run very carefully and responsibly.

[DefenseLawyer]

21. I absolutely think there are a lot of rich celebrities telling themselves "I could do that"

Every time they see Trump. So I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of activity like that. Too bad Trump has ruined the "outsider, celebrity, non-politician" brand, probably forever. So none will get very far.
