I bet you'll find the 'attacking' is about hoping she'll run

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

A rabid dog whom the alt right have let off his chain to cause as much fear and chaos as possible.

The attacks are against running any TV personality for President.

How's that working out with Trump?

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.

People are dying for hope. Magic. Someone who can knock him down. She gave feelings, not facts. And that’s fine. It tells us we’re hungry and if we can find a combination of both we’ll have someone powerful.

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.
