I can only hope this is a massive bit of trolling on someone's part, but, like RC says, Americans have repeatedly shown how utterly stupid they can be as a group, so it wouldn't shock me if she ends up a candidate.

If she should happen to win, I be the first in line to oppose what will either be the biggest waste of time or the biggest blow to civil liberties ever seen. Liberals love to scream Nazi, but fail to realize their own tactics are fascist in nature.
I think I would have to define myself as liberal, but I have to disagree with you.  I often diminished and demeaned the use of "Nazi" as a descriptor.  Now, eerily, I feel differently.  People don't come in camps, but one by one.

Y'guys know Oprah's name is a typo? She was supposed to be Orpah, an Old Testament name, but some clerk in Mississippi bungled it on her birth certificate, and so she became Oprah. If there's anything to numerology, an unknown civil servant changed Oprah's entire future, and gave gachillions of bored women an afternoon TV rallying point.  Smile

I dunno... if she'd been exactly the same, except "ORPAH" ( BounceGiggle) she might very well have reached the height of wealth and fame anyway.

Dunno.. I think it's just talk buuutt...

if she does run, oh boy... if you thought the last campaign was divisive strap in, because a Trump vs Oprah race will have next to NOTHING to do with actual plans and policies and more an endless screaming match of accusations and labels on both sides.  The vitriol will be unrivaled by ANYTHING we've ever seen in politics before.

During a trump Oprah debate trump would likely make a stupid hateful racist sexist fat remark,  Oprah would change across the stage,  literally slap his head off and settle the election.

Or businessman and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban or . . .

I am trying to remember all the Democrats who were thought to be interested in running for President on the Democratic ticket in 2020, and the only one I can remember, besides Winfrey and Cuban, is the 82nd Attorney General of the U.S. Eric Holder.

One who was thought to be interested, but has since taking himself out of the running, is CEO Bob Iger. Probably for the same reason, that when Walt Disney was asked, why don't you run for mayor of Los Angeles (California) he replied to the effect: "Why should I want to be mayor of L. A., when I have Disneyland."

He's a good actor and a nice guy.  Both of those make him preferable to the current occupant IMO.
But frankly, I prefer someone who has some experience in government at SOME level to a well-intentioned amateur.

I'm all for a woman president, white or black.  Oprah? No.

I'm sure there's plenty of qualified women politicians in the country on every level of government that is a better candidate than her.  I'm sure she's a nice lady, obviously talented and a successful business-woman, but still.

If a celebrity HAS to run-I say Jesse Ventura in 2020!
He actually has experience-and I like what he has to say.

No, she's an influential woman, but running for election might just destroy her image.  Thumbdown

I admire Jesse for his accomplishments, but some of the stuff he believes makes me really wary of supporting him.  We're talking just south of "wear tin foil hats so they aliens can't detect you" type beliefs here.

This is true...but I read his book-and there's no "secret goverment labs creating monsters" in it,unlike his TV show-which was just that-a TV show. He IS a showman, after all.
I don't think he has any desire to run, anyway.

I'm thinking of running in 2018; I'll need to get my campaign organized a little earlier this time.
