Tucker Carlson's lawyer has officially stated that he is not running in 2024

[Hardkill]

In case any of you wondering if or worried about Tucker Carlson possibly running for president in 2024, his lawyer seems to have made it clear that Tucker is not interested in doing so. His lawyer has already a sent cease and desist letter to a PAC that has already been trying very hard to convince him to run for president in 2024:

I think that's somewhat a relief for us for 2024 given that his appeal over Republican and conservatives, especially those at the far right, throughout the whole country has been very much on par with Trump's, but unlike Trump is still well in his prime and comes off as a bit more disciplined, a little bit smarter, less crude, and less chaotic than Trump. Of course it's always still possible that he might make a run in 2028.

   Why is it a relief?

[Whitney Edwards]

Some relief. 

[Leo Gura]

Pretty obvious he was not running. He doesn't seem interested in it.

[Willie]

I have slightly more respect for him than for either Trump or Desantis. Oh, well.

[Juan]

I would LOVE a lot that Bernie could to another run, do you find it possible @Leo Gura? Or never happening again?

   Very low probability for Bernie to run again.

Well, he's made it clear that he's not gonna in 2024, and by the time 2028 happens, he will be about 86 years old. I sincerely doubt that 4 and a half years from now he will run again. It already is worrisome enough that if Biden were to be re-elected that he would be 86 years old by the time he finishes his 2nd term.

However, I've come to realize lately that his socialist movement might have been a good this for this country. He reminds me now of Eugene V. Debs, early 20th century socialist who ran as a prominent 3rd third party candidate for US president a number of times throughout the early 1900s progressive era. Even though he never came close to winning the presidency, he was still one of the most instrumental politicians and political activists in bringing about major liberal/progressive reforms for our country during that period of historic change in US history. In fact, Bernie Sanders himself has said that he's always admired him, having described Debs as "probably the most effective and popular leader that the American working class has ever had." Plus he even produced a documentary on him with Bernie having voiced Debs.

I already told you some of my reasons in my OP. Additionally, I really think that the fact that anyone in the US allowing practically ANYONE born in America and is over the age of 35 year to run for president, even if you don't have ANY experience at all in serving in the government as a state level, or at the federal level, or even in the military has been a terrible mistake.

Even if have a history of having been an incompetent manager of a business with much less than honorable circumstances like Trump you can still be elected president. Even, if you have only had 5 years of working for the US government as an incompetent governor of a state, was a party boy who wasn't a great student in college or even in grad school, but just got by because you had a dad who paid your way through school like W. Bush you can still be elected president. 

You spread all kinds of dangerous conspiracy theories, particularly those from the right-wing, as a hyper-materialistic, narcissistic anchor for decades on Fox News like Tucker Carlson? No problem. You can be the next president of the United States if you are as popular, as charismatic, and as a well-spoken as Tucker Carlson.

If like Reagan, you only graduated high school and a mediocre college as a C average student, were a Hollywood actor who played in a dumb comedy movie called Bedtime for Bonzo, and have only 8 years of working for the US government as a mediocre governor of a state? Not a problem at all, if like Reagan, you are a once in a generation charismatic individual who is able to pull off an Oscar winning performance as a presidential candidate, you can become one of the most iconic US presidents ever.

I mean look at what happened when Trump got elected. He became one of if not the worst president ever in US history. He also will go down in history as the most undignified and the most dangerous president we've ever had. Reagan and Bush also ruined our country for the long-run.

   Why was it a terrible mistake, to not allow a more democratic process of voting in and running a campaign for presidency? If you don't like the democratic way of how American politics is done today, do you prefer the alternative, the authoritarian regime way? Would you rather an elitist and a small group, with higher barriers of entry to presidency be held?

   Isn't that a more wonderful way of being elected as president? Instead of say, have 10 years of political theory, 8 years of networking, and so on with these conditions we can keep listing, that increases gate keeping and makes it much harder, you get elected if you can manipulate and be charismatic, that is if you have the money and charisma? Would these higher hierarchies imply changes to American politics, and away from democracy and towards more of a chain of command, or elitist groups? Because by your metrics, who would be the new average of politicians would be socialists and progressives as these are political wanks for policies, which then creates other barriers of entry for other types of politicians.

   Why are you accusing and assuming I'm spreading conspiracy theories, and compare me to Tucker Carlson and Regan?

   How do you know Trump will go down as the most worst president in history?

Absolutely, there should be barriers to who should be allowed to run for president. It should only be those who are wise, compassionate, moderate, temperate, push for good practical reforms, have solid experience and competence in governance, well educated, well read, sound intelligent, and haven’t been involved in any serious wrongdoing. Presidents Washington, Jefferson, maybe Jackson, Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Harrison, McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK/LBJ, Obama, and Biden had all of the abovementioned qualities and that’s why they were all totally qualified for the job of being president went down in history as being the presidents ever in US history.

The consensus amongst all top historians and political experts in the US is that Trump is one of the six worst president ever in us history. Trump furthermore has been the only US president ever who threatened to destroy our democracy.

Osho was right when he said that democracy often results in "rule by the retarded for the retarded....." and that what we really need is ruling based on meritocracy. If you need serious medical help then why would you consult someone who did not earn a medical degree and a medical license to practice medicine, let alone doesn't have sufficient experience with competently diagnosing, treating, and curing a patient's illness? What if you are in trouble with the law? Wouldn't you hire a lawyer who has a law degree, license to practice law, competence and skill in legal matters, and has been successful with representing clients?
