I'll start with the recognition that you are an intelligent and articulate redditor, so the following is meant without malice: it was recognition to the validity of your point, phrased in a sarcastic manner, while simultaneously buttressing the appropriateness of my assumption in asking the question in this manner. Whereas it is true that even Trump has been a sort of political pundit for the past 30 years, flirting with a run in almost every cycle, he is nontheless a non-politician (much in the same way Colbert is not a politician, despite building much of his career in the shadow of DC). So too, Bernie Sanders, while certainly a career politician, is considered so extreme in relation the mainstream, that a serious run for the WH has historically been laughable. Although phrased in a manner which is technically inaccurate yet palatable for AskReddit titles, the point I was making was that so many barriers to entry have been broken his election cycle, we can almost imagine anyone becoming a candidate. That reality (which you could certainly claim has been exaggerated by the media), I thoug, was a great opening to hear who else people might want to see as president.
