Apologies if this has already been previously speculated or discussed but during the past month there seems to have been an awful lot of rumours/fake news circulating suggesting Zuckerberg will run for presidency in 2020 American elections.
recent articles- - http://observer.com/2017/08/dear-democrats-unless-you-nominate-mark-zuckerberg-donald-trump-will-win-in-2020-fake-news-media/ (this article, as pointed out by Christian McCrea on twitter <https://twitter.com/christianmccrea/status/903824904914575360>is from The observer, owned by Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner) - wired (https://www.wired.com/story/mark-zuckerberg-america-travels/) - http://uk.businessinsider.com/poll-mark-zuckerberg-trump-2020-election-2017-7?r=US&IR=T - shows some polling info which perhaps these rumours are based upon - "Zuckerberg won the support of 69% of voters who said they cast a ballot for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and 9% of those who said they voted for Trump" This 'poll' was only done with 863 people , and just under half said they have no opinion about him ( http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/mark-zuckerberg-in-a-dead-heat-with-trump-in-2020-election-poll/article/2629037 ) the odds at the bookmakers for Zuckerberg to run as democratic candidate down to 16/1 (from 25/1) forecasting him at equal odds with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson ( http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/341269-campaign-committee-for-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-filed-with-fec) what are peoples thoughts on this, and more importantly* if *there is any legitimacy in these rumours what is the general response?
