Atheist hater.

Between Reagan and Trump I think we should stay away from TV and movie stars. There's a lot I like about Oprah and there's a lot I don't like.
Anyone who's ever been in a movie should stay away from electoral office.

No more amateurs, PLEASE! Politics is a real profession. Experience matters. I'm sure she would surround herself with more qualified people than Agent Orange has, and it wouldn't scare me if she was President.

Not a chance.

These fantasies about Oprah becoming president are linked to her popularity. And, she's not qualified.

Does anyone even know what policies she supports? This isn't a game of "pick your favourite celebrity."

There's a video of Oprah having a conversation with a group of Danish women. She couldn't get her head around the fact that these women believed in humanity, with no belief in God. She was just baffled.

She is against the estate tax and was quoted saying "it's so irritating" that she has to pay so much tax. I would be more forgiving of her feelings about this had she been born into money, but having come from where she does, I would expect she'd have more compassion. That speaks to her character.

I used to love Oprah as a teenager, but, either fame has really changed her or I'm able to see things more clearly now.

Nope and then maybe no one more time for good measure. I truly believe there are people in the United States that could actually make a very good POTUS. I also truly believe that none of them will ever get anywhere near to running for office.

She's racist.

Candidate? Yes... President, no. Still running the religious junk. If Democrats want to win the next presidential election... they will have to move left. Overtures at centrism will not inspire young voters. “Have you seen the other guys?” Is the same strategy that cost them 2016... but they are still basically running the same gambit. Why do they think what didn’t work last time will work next time around? I don’t get it...

Actually it did work. The election was stolen. However, all that means is that the Dems should consider the other side cheating in whatever plans they put together.

@redbai Dems cry about the election being "stolen" but totally fail to address the perfidious way they handled their own primaries! Collusion between HRC and DNC is just as substantive as TRUMP/RUSSIA. Both just as dirty in my eyes. DNC is still trying to force their version of "Liberal" which fails to adequately address economic and ecological concerns. Economic questions are often reframed into civil rights issues, because they know anyone who tries to get things back on topic will risk looking like a bigot (watch for this pattern). Civil rights legislation is great, but it alone is not the best way to influence economic standards. Economic legislation is what is needed for that... crazy, right? I am glad they at least give lip service to being concerned about ecology, but I find the efforts here to be mm... I don't want to be unappreciative, what's a nice way to say it... dilute? We need aggressive ecological policy right now... the time for "measured approaches" has already been wasted away.

Sorry, I refuse to believe that Trump stealing the election and obviously kissing Putin's a$$ while leading this country is equivalent to whatever happened on the Democratic side with Clinton. We, as a country, only have to deal with the repercussions of the former; the latter is a problem for the Dems, a party of which I have never been a part. As a point, I've also never been a republican.

Anyone has got to be better than that fat orange arrogant twat.

Baggage.

She is just another one of the wealthy. Now if Schwarzenegger was allowed to run the Presnator J/K.

If Schwarzenegger was allowed to run and win he'd screw things up just like his incompetence did when he was governor of California.

@redbai How would anyone be able to tell if his policies would not work, the CA government went against him the entire time.

That's not how I remember it. I remember him giving Exton a sweetheart deal saving them billions in fines for nothing in return and robbing the school funding to pay for lower car registration fees. I can't remember a single thing he did that would have been objectively beneficial to the state that was blocked ked by the state congress. He is a mediocre actor and was terrible at governing.

No more TV stars for President. We will be fortunate to escape the Trump debacle and should leave politics to politicians.

She may make a better president than Trump (hell, practically anyone would make a better president than Trump). I personally do NOT want another media personality as the head of my nation.

Support for Oprah being president comes from the same celebrity-worship that got Trump elected

She's just another incarnation of a game show host.

Eight years of obama bumbling was enough.

Moron alert! Moron alert!

No.. sorry. Trump would chew her up.

I don't think either is qualified, but I disagree with the assertion that if it were between Trump and Oprah, that Trump would "chew her up".

Oprah is generally liked if not loved. Hillary was liked at best and hated by a lot of people. If Trump attacked Oprah in the sme way, there would be a public backlash. His normal antics would backfire.

Personally, I hope the democrats fidn a much better candidate and we never have to find out who is right.

@snytiger6. I've already heard what she has done in the past and trumps people will dig it all up and use it against her. She's popular right now but that old crap kept hidden will get her. Trumps got ways to win and get what he wants. He'll dig deep to get her. See how he clobbered all those people during the debates. She's got baggage and he's evil. He's the president and she's just popular. She's got a lot to loose and she will if she debates with him.
