(4,835 posts)She needs to run for state senate (or state house) if she's successful then serve a term and run for us senate or us house then run for governor, then after she's served in the government for 20 years or so, she'd be a fine candidate for president.
Celebrities make lousy presidents.

(40,416 posts)I could no more support Oprah, than I supported Drumpf.
She supports nearly everything I despise.
* Jenny McCarthy and her anti-vaccination lunacy.
* Dr. Phil - "I was the worst marriage counselor on the planet." So what does Oprah have him doing? Fucking marriage counselling!!!!
* John of God. Fucking John of God!!!!!
Then there are all the others who worship at Oprah's altar, or benefit financially from her blessings.
She is a horrible and ignorant person. I don't want her anywhere near my government.

He is a faith healer, psychic surgeon from Brazil. An utter scam artist who takes people's money to cure their maladies (including cancer -- fucking cancer!) then pretends to heal them by palming chicken parts.
Oprah has been a fan of his so-called spirituality.
I do not want spirituality anywhere near government office at any level.
Especially that idiot Oprah Winfrey.

Like OWNetwork wasn't proof enough this is a bad idea. It would make an interesting SNL skit, nothing more.
Sorry Oprah.
Funny nkpolitics1212. Very funny.
