I'm with you on Colin, but that ship has sailed. Thiel??? No F'n Way. He doesn't believe in a free press. Substitute Mark Cuban for Thiel, and I'm there. Cuban will run for POTUS in 2020 or 2024.
If so and if he wins he'd damn well better honor Trump at least within his Heart as tantamount to a messiah, for making The Path for him. NO Way Cuban would have gotten anywhere even remotely close had we not walked the path we have in this last year.
On Thiel, "he doesn't Believe in a Free Press is a massive simplification", unimportant to clarify though and Colin...yeah I'd agree that ship has sailed, maybe that ship never even existed. At all.
Puzzling, that....if that ship (Colin Powell bid for Presidency) never existed though I have every confidence that he has very very VERY good reasons, why not.
Per Thiel, again he'd bring me so much wrapped up in one man....so much inroads to so different Vital demographics, it'd be incredible actually.
Whatever shortcomings Thiel has, philosophically, he'd be able to put those aside for A Much Greater Good.
Colin Powell? I'd like to have gotten at least a shot at talking him into being on the ticket, for just 4 years, then we go from there.
A bit late in the game now though, and to be totally honest probably just like Colin Powell, Thiel may very well have had no Interest in the job. He kinda has "very clear" ideas on what he wants to do and does not wanna do
That "Free Press" deal, nutshell: GAWKER. later taken down by Hulk Hogan. Worthwhile to take into account the source of Thiel's aggravation there Guesser. Gawker paid The Piper, got what was due them.
