My top ten reasons why
this Oprah for President nonsense must cease immediately. In no particular
order.
- Giving
great speeches doesn't make you competent to govern. In no other field would
we trust an amateur to learn on the job to take care of our needs.
- Some of the same 53% of White women who voted for Trump
are also part of Oprah’s suburban soccer mom fanbase. Who’s to say where
the loyalty lies.
- No more TV personalities for president. Hasn’t America
learned its lesson? Just because you’re popular doesn’t mean you’ll make a
great president. Oprah is a great philanthropist
but she’s no match for experienced politicians or constitutional lawyers. Having a solid history of experience in government
is mandatory for the position. Government is not a business and contrary
to the sometimes-hilarious shenanigans of the current administration, it
is not entertainment.
- Because
we’re better than Republicans who are incapable of learning from their
mistakes. The Democrats need to quit bullshitting and relying on Trump to
fail and start grooming and promoting a qualified candidate today.
- Trump
is literally the Village Idiot, so I know it’s easy to think, “well if he can become President,
anyone can”, but no…just no.
- Let’s
not forget Oprah’s early TV work. Shows like Jerry Springer & Maury
Povich are a direct result of her early sensationalized version of television
journalism.
- Instead
of running for office wouldn’t America benefit greater if Oprah started a
super PAC? Money from her and Tom Sever alone could create millions to help
flip some state houses and congressional seats.
- I
don’t know about you but the fact that she force fed Doctors Phil & Oz
to an unsuspecting and extremely gullible world really makes me question
her judgment not to mention the moral implications of such a gift.
- Trump won not just because of his celebrity
but because he was willing to say out loud the things, so many closeted
bigots thought or uttered privately among themselves.
- I
like Oprah, but unless she intends to give everyone in America a car, I
don't see her as president.
OK, so maybe number 3 is like 4 reasons but I wanted a top 10 not a top 14…sue me.
