Thread: Oprah for prez in 2020?

Huffpo has reported that Oprah might consider running for prez in 2020.

While my wife can't stand her and I know many other women who can't as well, many women worship her. I've thought that centuries from now a religion of some sort may be spawned from the teachings of Oprah...

What made you even think about such an occurrence?

Could we please get past the concept of the celebrity politician? It does not work.

I don't see any emoticons so I presume you are straight up with this comment. However, Trump's run in the "Apprentice" made him quite the celebrity (not that he wasn't one already to some degree). His popularity in that show certainly helped him win the election (along with the fake Russian hackers; everyone knows Russians can't hack their way out of a paper Turing machine).

News sources are reporting it...

I'm looking at it objectively. It's an interesting idea. I think she's overall quite popular in the U.S. I don't know about any skeletons in her closet. Given she's the head of a billion dollar plus empire though and has no progeny it might be more difficult for her to divest herself from her corporations as competely as the public would apparently expect.

But...who knows.
