Good! Can we not have a near perfect crop of complete losers next time? No one wants Zuck anymore than Hillary. Seems like a good way to lock in 4 more years of regret.

/me raises hand that I'd rather have Mark than Hillary. It's not so much that I agree with everything he says or stands for and I most certainly appreciate but don't idolize him. I'd rather have nearly any tech-savvy outsider than at least half the major party primary candidates last year.

Being tech savvy is a poor qualification for leading the free world. He should get his own kingdom in order first.

leading the free world? you really mean US is some leader of free world? in what filed exactly? living standard, healthcare, education, internet, etc? because I fail to see pretty much any positive field in which US would be world leader.

It's a well-known historical phrase. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_World#Leader_of_the_Free_....

Whether it is accurate now is another topic, though.

apparently only Americans use this phrase, for everyone else it sound arrogant

I'd prefer someone less complicit in establishing the surveillance state.

Less complicit than Mark is what I assume you mean, though it was ambiguous in my mind whether you meant "than either of those two".

Are we able to call someone who has been heavily funded by three-letter agencies for the benefit of mass surveillance, an "outsider?"

>No one wants Zuck anymore than Hillary.

Hillary won millions more votes than Trump.

Trump is at historic disapproval levels for a president at his time in office.

More than 60 million people wanted Hillary to be president. It was a larger number than the number that wanted our current President.

Don't worry. I think is charisma for a mainstream crowd is up on par with Shkreli.
