(7,529 posts)She reads, she is culturally and civilly aware, she knows how to control a discussion, she's enjoyable to listen to, and she truly has compassion and the fire to inspire change in the face of injustice. She's actually interested in improving the lives of people who are not her.
While she's not in politics, neither was Trump, and I bet Oprah would pick it up a lot faster. Plus the President's main job is to be the voice of the US to America and the rest of the world, which she would excel at. Back her up with a lot of great veteran Democratic politicians in the Senate and House, and she'd do just fine. I mean...45 gets by as the guy who just "signs what they put in front of him"... right?
They gave us dim Dubya Bush, we countered with brilliant Obama. They give us slag reality TV host Trump, we give them successful self-made socially progressive TV empress Oprah.
