(36,106 posts)If you read between the lines of the mediaGOPer and alt-nutter supporters, you sense they fear nothing more than a white, male, youngish, educated, experienced Democratic candidate.
A Trump antidote like that, they would totally ignore

How's that working out with Trump?

(35,454 posts)WOC in fact and I say this because the reaction has been so over the top based on absolutely nothing. Extreme right wringers are also in tandem with this freak-out.

(2,785 posts)to throw the electoral college to Trump despite running against the first female nominee for President by a major political party in history and Oprah is going to get them because she's a celebrity? Not buying it. Although it is possible Oprah could beat Trump only because he is so toxic, but nominating her could put his defeat at risk.
