Oprah's speech sounded so light and flimsy.
Trump's speeches have massive weight and impact.
Also Trump is a pragmatist while Oprah is another Obama with all the flowery poetically uplifting words.....very fake way to speak.

IMO, Trump has lowered the bar so much that there isn’t a bar at all.

This is the problem America today. People want charisma, or "great speakers", actors and various celebrity types.


You know who were great speakers? Hitler, and Mussolini, and Obama. And they were terrible leaders. And that is just a few that I could mention.

Not sure she could raise big corporate donations. Obviously, the Mercers and the Koch brothers wouldn't be setting up PACs for her.

She probably wouldn't be getting much support from the Russians either.

However, she has the potential to unite our country like no one else I can think of.

And there won't be an issue of her not being black enough for the job. Some of those obama voters were some real negative nellys

Or something like that.

What about the American citizens that don't want a career politician to run the Country? I do not agree with an amendment such as that.

The fact that people like you have your panties in a wad just at the mere idea that a charismatic and well-respected woman like Oprah could run for president makes me think she's the right person at the right time to do it. I would pay money to see an articulate Oprah and marble mouth Trump debate.

Trump obviously convinced liberals that a celebrity can be an effective President, otherwise they wouldn't be begging for Oprah to run in 2020.

But Oprah doesn't want to do it.

Good, she needs to run for Congress or the senate first, and establish a record of where she stands on the issues, and gain political experience.

I disagree.

The problem isn't that Trump is inexperienced in politics. It's that he's a liar, a cheat, and a fraud. Always has been. Still is.

He has surrounded himself with grifters and traitors who are looting the nation even as we chit chat away.

To say Oprah would be just like Trump unless she hasn't served six years in the Senate is silly.

I did not say Oprah could in any way be IDIOTIC SEWER SLIME like Trump, but I hope to never again see a total political NOVICE/UNKNOWN in the White House again. Who the hell ever heard of Obama before 2008? And he surprised the hell out of me with his LIES in 2008,but I knew better the second time!

It's January of 2018, people start rumbling about Oprah as POTUS and look at how loud the guard dogs are already barking. LOL.
