Trump showed us that the old guard is less powerful than we\they thought. The zuck could absolutely win and facebook would be his tool to do it.
Zuckerberg has the charisma of a fish though.
You don't need charisma when you can insert yourself into people's notifications, Facebook and Instagram feeds, have a near-live overview of the majority of the voting population, know their political bias, cultural heritage, and much, much more.

Yeah, I keep seeing the "well, Trump won!" argument anytime somebody suggests that a certain person wouldn't win an election. But that ignores Trump's unique characteristics that allowed him to gain a significant and loyal following.
I feel like Zuckerberg trying to run would be a Mike Bloomberg situation. Remember when that happened?

Do you believe that Zuckerberg would be allowed to use Facebook to push his presidential campaign? I feel like he would have to divest himself of the company entirely first. Then again, that's maybe too much of an expectation, given our current political situation.

He could be the first Prime Minister of ROCOW, the Republic of California, Oregon and Washington, colloquially known as Yugofaangia.

1) Bloomberg doesn't control facebook
2) Bloomberg ran as a democrat
Imagine a world where you get your news from Fox News and then go to a conservative controlled facebook. He would be unstoppable.

Charisma can be learned.

Did Hillary Clinton learn it? Of all the people in the world, she's probably the one who had the most incentive and motivation to "learn" charisma, if it was possible.

Trump's unique characteristics were antithetical to the role of POTUS. Now cult leader, on the other hand...
