Oprah's Southern roots may just be the winning combination.

I pulled it back up, where she talked about a group of white men kidnapping and raping a black woman. She could have just as easily pulled up her own history where black men in her family raped her, but I imagine she was looking at it from her bigger perspective, the white/black power struggle perspective.

LOL, you know there is no doubt the men would get out in "DROVES" for the "T & A" vote!


Just like they think the absolutely do-nothing Melania, is such a great first lady, for no other reason than her looks!

Even though Opea has a huge base of white women, I don’t think those same bigots would hold that against her.
If she had real pragmatic solutions for problems, and not just searching for her truth, or whatever she calls it. There are plenty of Idealist that are likable and sound great, like Oprah, but don't have the skills to get the job done.

Exactly why we dont want her on the left. All she does is shill products to make money. A centrist at best.

Why not?

Trump campaigned on his "great golf courses" and big brain.

Nope. I didn't even know that was a thing. LOL.

So... I mean but Trump is... you don't see just a tiny bit of irony in this statement? Wow.

Anyway I just think that "only working taxpayers should vote!" thing is the kind of nonsense that feels great to the base when pundits say it but in reality would make terrible policy, for all the reasons I stated.

The same kind of thing happens on the left all the time. "Everyone should go to college for free!!!" Really? EVERYONE? How are we paying for that exactly? Oy.

And bringing it all full circle... this is part of the reason why you don't need inexperienced people actually governing based on ideas they heard talking heads say on their favorite news channel. This is how you get bonehead foolishness like The Wall. Terrible, expensive, innefective policy that doesn't even solve the problem, but yeah let's promise to do it! No thank you.

I agree that Trump is a shill too. I am a leftist who is outside of the confines of the donor-paid 2 party system. Hillary, Trump, Oprah, and all the donor-buttlicks in congress are all abhorrent to me.

do any of you have any idea what Oprah stands on the issues from taxes, immigration, healthcare, trade deals, foreign policy and the rest of the issues?
