The Democratic nominee in 2020. . .

Zuckerberg ? Are you talking about the Co-Founder of Facebook? the guy with all the charm and personality of a crack addled, leprosy infected sea urchin?

I realize the Democrats are prone to acts of stupendous imprudence but even they aren't that stupid.

I'm afraid middle America, GenX and iGen would fall over themselves to vote for him. Anything negative about him the mods on FB would probably make disappear.

It was memes that helped carry Trump to victory.

The difference is Trump has his own sort of charm and appeal, granted it's limited but he's light years beyond Zuckerberg in the personality and charm departments and running for the Presidency does actually involve getting out and speaking to crowds something Zuckerberg has never demonstrated a talent for unless the crowds he's talking to are techies.

Zuckerberg is an excellent software developer and entrepreneur but as a political candidate I think he'd be a disaster and I base that on having seen him speak in both large and small settings, abrasive and arrogant don't even begin to describe him IMHO. I don't think he would appeal (in general) to Baby Boomers and Gen X'ers (I'm a Gen X'er) he might make inroads with Millennials but they have a tendency to skip voting.

Did you know that before the campaign, Trump never used computers?

Yes (although I don't think the description was "never", I could be wrong) and he still admits he has no real understanding of them, fortunately for him he was able to hire people that do.

Who knows though, stranger things have happened in Presidential Politics and Zuckerberg does have a lot of money.

They might skip voting in the last election, but they were out in droves today pretending to be antifa. . .

They are intent on destroying free speech. With out the free speech, with big tech companies shutting down free speech? Elections will be meaningless.

Assuming Trump doesn't get impeached, or that he doesn't resign, or even if he does, the likely candidate for the Democrats?

And you all thought Trump was a nightmare.

Remember, you heard it here first. . . . Well, maybe not. lol Why is no one worried about this or talking about it? This is far more serious than some silly fights and a crazy person in Charlottesville. . . .

Does anyone honestly think the DNC will let some outsider take the nomination? The DNC crooks who have paid their dues for decades will lie, cheat, and steal their way to the nomination and no outsider is going to one up them. Just ask Bernie.

No, they will. It's all about the globalists taking control and putting you under a soft police state.

The Blacks and Hispanics dominate the Democrat Party now and they will decide who the next Democratic candidate is.

They are almost as sick of the Pompous Elitists White Loons on the two Coasts, as Heartland Americans are.

No telling what will happen, but it probably won't be pretty for the Democratic Party, particularly if their only messages continue to be HATE and FREE STUFF.

Why on earth could you assume Democrats would be stupid enough to nominate and support a political neophyte?.someone who has never held elective office before? A nominee accepted strictly on his personality? A person who has no experience building political coalitions within and outside Congress?

Who do you thInk we are? Republicans?

Zuckerberg wants slave labor. He's worships the scumbag Bill Gates.

The problem that democrats have, in addition to not having a nominee is that they have no money. They have pandered to voters that have no money. Republicans are raking in the money. It's a reverse of last time. Hilly had a war chest of billions. The next democrat nominee will have nothing. And they are cementing in a reputation of hate that they lie about and paid mobs!

Right now, it looks like the dem nominees will be Maxine Waters and perhaps Elizabeth Warren.

Looks to me as if the money situation is pretty even. The Dems getting most of theirs from individuals, the GOP from PACS.
