Did it ever have a real chance?

They were planning to use Cambridge Analytica to make it happen /s

In all reality, the common public is probably indifferent to his running, at this point, and I believe this current series of events hasn't changed much.

With Trump's win it feels wrong to rule anyone out this early.

It was easy enough to see Trump coming ahead of time though. He’s been talking on and off about running for a long time, and that speech more recently where he called the Chinese “motherfuckers” in particular should have made it clear that what he might do could be effective. Once you accept that he’s running and what his style would be like, it’s easy to see him getting the nomination.

It’s not easy to see Zuckerberg getting the nomination under pretty much any circumstances.

The major sports books had him as a 4:1 underdog on the afternoon of election day.

It's easy to say in hindsight but nobody gave the guy much of a chance until it was too late.

As a lifelong fan of the Buffalo Bills, 4:1 underdog chances sounds pretty good.

Fair enough. I suppose people mostly felt the same way about Trump winning a GOP primary as I do about Zuck winning a Democratic primary, too.

Most people didn't think Trump had a chance either.
