Oprah's best friend fuels 2020 run talk

Of a multi-billionaire actually not shitting on her friends as they tell her how great she is. That is the cornerstone of the case they are putting forward.

I really wish people could step back and actually analyze how these outlets promote things.

No
Do I want her friends to keep pushing these rumors? Hell yeah!

Get the enthusiasm going big time. Then put all her support behind a qualified D!
Get Oprah speaking out for 2018 candidates.
Use this for all it's worth.

Just don't let Oprah let it be anything but speculation for now.

Why?

...

It's how a representative republic works. What you just attempted to do to the other poster is really shitty.

She would be a strong and very electable candidate. In her own right.

Why not?

"What if"
"Would be"
"Why not"

I get that her speech floored you.

I think Oprah should be taken seriously as a potential candidate. I have seen no compelling reason for her not to run. Not just assume we can use her enthusiasm for someone else.

Distress the republiklans as much as possible, the Russian trolls can all go to hell.

...three demographics whose turnout would be needed to defeat Trump

She also has a positive attitude which Trump would find hard to attack....probably backfire.

What name could he call Oprah?

Will he use his name calling tactics on Oprah and can he deal with the backlash to that?

What specifically leads you to believe that?

For one, Trump...specifically.....said at one time he would consider naming her his running mate (previous election).

Trump has been successful at trying to define his opponents. He uses those well-thought-out names for this purpose. Low Energy Bush. etc etc etc. In the primaries, he was up against people without that much name recognition, so he was able to define them. Against Hillary, there already were strong memes about her that were out there, and he capitalzed on them, Crooked Hillary, etc.

Oprah has more name recognition than Trump had when he was running. Heck, she was/is more of a media star than he ever was.
He won't be able to define Oprah in the same way he could other opponents.

Plus which people love Oprah. She has a tremendous amount of empathy with her guests, and this is in stark contrast to Trump's narcissism.

She has been underestimated every step of the way in her career.

I wouldn't count her out this time around.

I think she could beat Trump soundly. I don't think it would be even close.

Then the joy would be seeing Trump explode after being beaten soundly by a black woman....

The only thing better would be for Michelle Obama to run and beat him! She would have to be drafted for the job, but I would help with the draft!!!

Dream ticket: Oprah/Kennedy or Oprah/Michelle or Michelle/Oprah

How did that work out?

Post hoc ergo prompter hoc...

experience and qualifications are not always enough
