I'm not seeing them make any points different than what were made about Trump. Which are bad points.

The key difference between her and Trump is that Trump wanted to run and was planning for a long time. Oprah is just media hubbub.

Sure, but my point was more about the fact that Fox News is running this as a headline. Their going out of their way to show backlash against an Oprah run. Why would they do that if they weren't at least a little threatened by the prospect of her as the Dem nominee in 2020?

Oprah. Fuck me.

If being the president really has nothing do with having any qualifications to run a government, why even have a president? You may as well have a monarchy, or make it into a reality-TV contest "Who wants to be president?".

That said, things can't be any more ridiculous than they are now. So why not? Oprah vs. Trump 2020 let's have at it.

I want her to be president for a week so I can watch the entire mainstream media slobber over her cock beyond obama levels x10 magnitudes. Then I won't even have to blow my brains out because I'll for sure enter a perpetual comatose state.

They're in the entertainment business, and this is entertainment for the unwashed masses.

Oh, wuf, I was not aware of your telepathic abilities, please tell me more about Oprah's inner thoughts.

I can guess that you'll have some lame reply ready to go about how Trump had been making noises about running for office for a long time, etc. I mean, if you're tempted to go here, just don't. You're playing at mind reader, and it's hard to read it as anything more than partisanship. There are a lot of similarities, and it's really grasping at straws to try to distinguish her potential run from his in this way.
