I would say that being an arrogant, ignorant, thinned-skinned narcissistic man-child with NO government experience is all the wrong stuff. Not only do I think that, but editorial boards of EVERY major US Newspaper, of both conservative and liberal proclivities, agree.

Well, the two of us are just going to have to wait and see, aren't we? Now me, I haven't thrown in completely with Trump. My line has always been, sometimes even a change for the worse is better than no change at all. So I'll have no issues eating my words in four years, if it comes to that. But if it doesn't, will you eat yours?

Yeah. Gotta give him time to become corrupted by the process. Wouldn't want someone with "unrealistic goals and expectations" running the place. That'd be terrible.

Why should Zuckerberg be president? Because he invented something? Perhaps George Foreman should run because he sells a cool grill.

My theory is that the CIA/NSA invented Facebook to spy on everyone more easily, and they needed a harmless kid to be the front for it. SpyBook would have been too obvious.

I would have thought that the last guy with zero political experience to get into office would have robbed people of their appetite for that sort of thing.

America has already shown that amateur hour in DC is perfectly acceptable... that said, just because the average US voter fails to understand the need for experience and temperament in the position doesn't make it safe or right.

So, even though Zuckerberg has shown that he is indeed concerned about others rather than himself, like the current guy, he still lacks the right stuff, so 'No'.

Yes, but now the Obama era is over and we con move to having an experienced executive in in the Oval Office.

Apparently 63 million voters didn't think government experience was all that important.

Except:

1. the number is still lower than it was in the 90s.

2. there are 10 cities ahead Chicago when it comes to murder rate per capita.

Those are pluses? If you lived in a town of 100 and one person was shot the murder rate would be higher then Chicago....Jesus H Crist.

63 million voters didn't have very good judgment.

Are you sure 65 million Americans didn't have good judgement when they voted for a community organizer?

Wow, someone really hate communities.

That doesn't make sense....But I have feeling someone hates the Constitution and the prevision in the way we elect the President.

The revulsion you had for "community organizing." I can only assume you hate communities. Odd, but whatever works for you.

Yes, I pledge here that I will eat my words if I am wrong. I really do hope I am wrong. Copy this and throw in my face in 2020.

I don't believe the question you pose is what you intended...but Obama was a good choice. Most of the 65 million were very satisfied they made the right choice 8 years later. After all, he had a good blend of elected experience, constitution law (so good, he was actually on staff at one the nation's top 5 law schools) plus, he experienced politics on a grass roots basis, an experience that is rare for presidents, as a community organizer.

OK this must be the 10 CITIES ahead of Chicago, making Chicago number 11 which is run by a DEMOCRAT

The cities with populations over 200,000 ranked as the most dangerous are:

Detroit, MI – Mayor Mike Duggan – DEMOCRAT
Oakland, CA – Mayor Jean Quan – DEMOCRAT
Memphis, TN – Mayor A C Wharton – DEMOCRAT
St. Louis, MO – Mayor Francis G. Slay – DEMOCRAT
Cleveland, OH – Mayor Frank G. Jackson – DEMOCRAT
Baltimore, MD – Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake – DEMOCRAT
Milwaukee, WI – Mayor Tom Barrett – DEMOCRAT
Birmingham, AL – Mayor William A. Bell – DEMOCRAT
Newark, NJ – Mayor Ras Baraka – DEMOCRAT
Kansas City, MO – Mayor Sly James – Independent (but probably a DEMOCRAT)

The proof is in the politics. It’s a shocker, I know…
