Oprah For President?

My top ten reasons why this Oprah for President nonsense must cease immediately. In no particular order.


  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
