Just stated on Hardball that Iger is considering a run in 2020. Thoughts? (move if already stated)
Trump proved it's possible to get elected without having any experience whatsoever.What is with celebrities/businessmen running for president these days? I believe Trump, Oprah, Dwayne Johnson, Kanye West, Iger (obviously), and a bunch others have stated they may run for 2020 or 2024.
If anything I can see our infrastructure greatly improving under Iger, he'd make sure our international perception stays relatively positive.
Whether Iger runs or not, his contract is up next year and he's always planned on leaving. They are looking for a successor, they've obviously been unsuccessful so far.The problem is that with the rumors of Iger reupping on his contract that a departure for an office run will leave TWDC with a vacuum at the top. Since they forced Staggs out there is no clear successor and they have about a year to make one evident. This could cause a real disruption in the governance of the company which could impact the valuation in a significant way.
With DIS at a lifetime high I would not want to be a stockholder for the next few years.

I think he would rather stay in a mentor role to help the new CEO get the hang of things, but they don't even have that person to take over yet.Not sure if you heard, but at the last investors meeting he kinda changed his tune, saying if the company needed him to stay then he would (paraphrasing).
The "bar" has been in the same place for many, many years. There only like 3 requirements to actually run as president.
And no thanks.... Ivankas got 2020. Lol
I like how some of you are conveniently leaving out Barack Obama's pre-presidential resume, while saying the private citizen lacks experience. Makes me want to question what other kind of crap you're trying to spin on these forums. :shrug:
While he taught Constitutional law from 1996-2004, he was a member of the Illinois State Senate then ran for US Senate in 2004. He won US Senate, then ran for president in 2008.
I agree with you- and I, too, care about each other and wish to have civil discourse. But when the most liked post on this thread- and the third one at that says this:Again, on a forum wherein we pride ourselves on civil discourse, I hope this post comes across with the good intentions it has. I wish to understand my fellow posters better and I do not wish to see another thread outside of theme park discussion shut down because we cannot civilly discuss the world. It matters - we're all human here, and we all (I hope) care about each other. This board is like a second home for me. So let's all think carefully before we post and work towards better understanding of one another rather than trying to be understood.
That was way off topic - back to Iger. I don't pretend to know enough about the man to make any clear cut judgements. But I believe we must strive towards people who have a clear understanding of international relations and the broader workings of our government.

The bar has been substantially lowered.
