Oprah for President?

RCMerchant · January 10, 2018, 08:10:22 AM

What do you think of this?
It's all over TV.
I know Trump got elected with no experiance. Should Oprah run?
I'm torn. I like Oprah-but I'm done with TV stars being in control. It freaks me out. Is America so dumbed down? That they pick leaders because of TV shows? Maybe the Situation from Jersey Shore should run. Or a Kardashian.

Well, back in the '80s The Kids in the Hall, already said Oprah is probably God---she according to them coming closest to meeting Buddy Cole's NDE revelation that God is a fat black lesbian---so there you go.

No. Television personalities with no political experience should not be running the most powerful nation on earth. This is self-evident.

Once is an aberration. Democracy makes mistakes. But if it's Oprah vs. Trump in 2020, we can officially declare democracy cooked, and start looking for another form of government.

I'm with you. But Trump is not the first.
Clint Eastwood, Ahnold and Sonny Bono.
No-Oprah as president-no.
Though I like Jessie Ventura.

And of course the John Wayne of Presidents-Ronald Reagan.
I think it's not an aberration-I think it's going to be a thing-because-people are stupid.

Those other TV stars started out nearer to the bottom, though. They didn't go for Prez on the first try. Reagan had proven himself as a competent governor of California first. Pretty sure if Trump had served as governor of NY, he would have been exposed and wouldn't have been electable.

If Oprah wants to be governor of Illinois and does a good job, then we could talk.

Regardless if we like it or not-it could happen.

Tiana almost flipped her wig when she heard it. If every black woman in America votes-she would win.

But I bet you dollars to donuts it will happen again-because society is dumbed down. Nobody in the masses read. Its all TV bites. People are stupid. That's why Britebart is a thing.
People are f**king stupid.

I saw the word Oprahcare on twitter

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.

P.S. To the person who down-voted me for this post, all I can say is:

Sorry if my opinions don't match yours, but, last time I checked, this is still the United States of America, and I have freedom of speech. However, name calling is juvenile, and both sides often stoop to that low level. Nice to see how low your standards are. I'll take the down vote, but the name calling was pathetic.

True.
Maybe I'll get a free car!

Somebody on here had a .gif as their signature of Oprah releasing a giant swarm of bees on her audience . . . that was a funny gif!

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.

Oprah for President?
