Could you see her as President of the United States?


Me? After seeing Trump elected, I say anything is possible now.
She says she has no plans to run, but I have heard Trump say that many times in the past too.

reply

Trump would still call her a loser.

You do realise that it is possible to elect someone other than TV and movie celebrities...? One hopes...

reply

I do realize that, Renovatio.
I simply posed this question because suddenly, after a speech she gave at the Golden Globes, speculation of her political aspirations are all over the news!
I felt that it might make for interesting conversation....... that is all.

reply

I perceived that speech as a blend of poignancy and demagoguery and then the following media frenzy you mention seemed to confirm it for me. It definitely came across as testing the water.

reply

I figured as much, it was just my comment on celebrity culture 👍

Imagine Stedman as the first lady

She could do more(and she does) and better as a citizen.

reply

Not really. Oprah isn't as popular as she was 20 years ago. In fact, many people seem to despise her, I think too many for her to become president. I also don't see her profiting from any kind of momentum like Trump did.

reply

I can see her loosing the election,then blaming Americans as sexist and racist for not electing her, because she follows the liberal playbook.

reply

I think she could win, if she wanted to. I think she would be a good President.

reply

If I had to choose between her and Trump it would be Oprah all the way, but I have no idea what to expect.
