Derp on spelling. I could be wrong, but a lot of it comes down to how much money you have, or how much money your connections have.

In a few years when the internet gets even more ingrained into people's daily lives running a campaign on a small amount of cash won't seem like such a difficult thing to do.

I can afford to run, but see no benefit in doing so.

Why would any sane person want to be president?

If shit gets too bad in this country, I'll just move to another one.

It take a special combination to run and make it. You need to have some sort of history in public service, be part of the 1%, and very developed political and social skills.

You don't have to be part of the 1%. You just have to be willing to work for them.

In fact they'd probably prefer you not be too well known that way they can construct the narrative that best suits their needs.

I would never enjoy the job. I would be thrown out in the first week of vetting, too.

I thought about it tongue Then I realized that I don't think I want that job.
