So a president should be chosen based off the amount of money he/she can raise? I'm really getting tired of hearing how Clinton has raised X amount of campaign funding. BFD. Its certainly not like she needs to buy a lot of advertising to increase her public exposure; she's either (inexplicably) loved or (rightfully) loathed by just about everyone in the US already, and you either believe the message she's sending, or recognize it as just more lies to gain support.
Fred also has great public exposure. People recognize at least his face from his TV roles, and his role has usually been one of power and reason, something you should expect from a world leader. Therefore, those that have a hard time separating TV from reality already have a good impression of him as the voice of reason and the one who makes the final decisions. He doesn't need $24M, should he decide to run. He only needs to clarify his platform and leverage his political experience.
