I checked before i posted, we must have been working on it at the same time. You beat me out by a minute, sorry

He was a presidential candidate and now he is president. I didn't notice Trump's name preceded by "TV reality show star" in every reference to him during the campaign.

and famous for it. This guy only became known as an actor. Then he ran for office. Would you prefer "nobody"?

The fact he was ever legitimized by the media will be one of the biggest blows this country has experienced in its history.

Actually, is there any chance he's actually the President of Ukraine, right now?

Can we really rule it out?

If he peeled off his mask at the inauguration, would anyone be THAT surprised?

If these weren’t such dangerous times, I’d pull out the popcorn. Instead, wishing him well battling poverty and corruption.

I guess we’ll see if this guy has any willpower against Putin or not.

Desperation is bad counsel, and desperate voters sometimes reach for the most irreverent candidates, hoping that actually means something.

That said, All the Best to Mr. Zelensky. He's got his job cut out for him.

...Poroshenko was corrupt, however, if he just "treads water" it will be a success.

Desperation often leads to poor choices, Putin could very well be smiling again.
